He maintains a personal blog at StreeterSeidell.com and wants to make sure you know he once wrote something for the New York Times and that it was, in the words of his mother, "Amazing! You're so talented!"

Happy Monday, everyone. We're back in the saddle and ready to discuss - argue? - some music. Now we've been in TV/Movie territory a lot recently and I think it might be time to explore some other facets of this wonderful thing we call music. For instance, what makes a song great? Of course, there are so many answers you could start writing a book on the topic and never stop. However, what makes a song epic? That seems a little more quantifiable, doesn't it? Is it orchestration? Layered vocals? A generally inspiring theme? All of those - or none of those - could be true. However, we all know an epic tune when we hear one and today I want to see if any of you guys might help me figure out which of the following rock songs is more epic: Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" or Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." Both are epic, for sure, but one has to be more epic, right? Right. Argue away in the comments!
