What's Your Favorite Looooooong Song?

[Fat_Sunny]

Say, A Song Over 10-Minutes In Length.

F_S Was Listening To "Any Day Now", The Album Where Joan Baez Sings Bob Dylan Songs. The Song "Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands" Is 11:18 Long, And F_S Thinks It Is Probably His Favorite Long Song Of All Time.

He Also Reluctantly Admits To Still Liking The 17:03 In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida!

Any Other Favorite Long Songs??

[IMSlacker]

The first one that comes to mind is "The End" by The Doors (11:41). But, I'm sure someone will come up with a better one which will make me regret my choice.

[sailor]

echoes - pink floyd 23:31

2112 - rush 20:37

That's probably mine. I was going to say "Master of Puppets" but I think that is just over 8 minutes.


Bah, you know what? F_S doesn't define "long" to B_D. B_D defines "long" to B_D and B_D picks M_o_P!!!!!

I like that one too. It's on the CD I recommended to F_S. I'm glad F_S isn't opposed to long songs.

[FUNKMAN]

Cortez The Killer
Inside Looking Out

[Stankfoot]

i don't think live songs should count.

I agree, but some songs don't have a studio version (like "Dark Star") ......

[AnnoyedGrunt]

Type O Negative- Unsuccessfully Coping with the Natural Beauty of Infidelity (12:30)

Tool- Wings for Marie Parts I and II (17:24)

Iced Earth- Gettysburg (1863) (Split in to 3 tracks totaling 31:53)

[IamFogHat]

I always think of 'long songs' to be in the six to eight minute range and anything beyond that I have neither the patience nor the interest in. Except for GnR's Locomotion, November Rain, Coma, and Estranged, which I think are all over 9 minutes long.

[Fezticle98]

Double Ditto!

Mega dittos!

Can't really think of any 10+ minute non-live songs that I care for.

[waltermitty]

The Box---Orbital....

I've seen 5 Min versions and 30 Min versions....

Takes me back to those techno days......

[MrPink]

Jimi Hendrix - Machine Gun 13:36

[keithy_19]

Goodbye Sky Harbor by Jimmy Eat World.

Minstrel Boy by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros.

And though, I know it doesn't count cause it's not over ten minutes, but Only In Dreams by Weezer is fucking great.

So is 21:13 by Coheed and Cambria, as is The Light & The Glass by them too.

And it's way under, but The Clash Straight To Hell is incredible.

[weekapaugjz]

phish - yem (you enjoy myself)

17 minutes of pure genius.

boy...man...god...shit.

[weekapaugjz]

i don't think live songs should count.

i don't think you should count.

[moochcassidy]

I like that one too. It's on the CD I recommended to F_S. I'm glad F_S isn't opposed to long songs.

double that.

anybody trapped in '67 is gonna dig that album big style.

'Dandys Rule OK' is possibly in my all time top 10. still never seen em live but they were my favourite band for a while there.

[PapaBear]

Neil Young

Cowgirl In The Sand

[riverofpiss]

My favourite long song is "Tab..." by Monster Magnet. It times out at 35 minutes+ and is trippy shit.

[riverofpiss]

"Three Days" by Janes Addiction is another favourite.

[Chainsaw]

One that I like is "A Quick One While He's Away" by the Who....depending on the version, it is usually in the 8-9 minute range...but it's like a collection of short songs....

Another one, but is only like 7 minutes is "Like Suicide" by Soundgarden.

[drjoek]

Anything by the Ramones

[cougarjake13]

metallica

and justice for all

[fohat]

Supper's Ready by Genesis

"...666 is no longer alone,
He's getting out the marrow in your back bone,
And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll,
Gonna blow right down inside your soul.
Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon,
In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune..."

[LordJezo]

i don't think live songs should count.

Yeah, maybe, but Telegraph Road live by Dire Straits is 13 minutes of glory.

Ted Nugent - Fred Bear - not quite up to the long standard but it does break 7 minutes and its pretty rocking in that Ted Nugent kind of way.

Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand, 10 and a half minutes.

Other things I really like are the Type O Negative long songs, they are still putting out epics and its pretty great.


Has anyone heard Supper's Ready by Genesis? Almost 23 minutes long.

[LordJezo]

Yeah, maybe, but Telegraph Road live by Dire Straits is 13 minutes of glory.

I have no idea why I wrote that, I meant to say Tunnel of Love.

[AJDELAWARE]

The Mars Volta - Cassandra Gemini (original CD version*) - 32 minutes.

On some versions its broken up into multiple tracks, as are 2 other songs on the cd, but originally I think it was a 5 track cd, but then was released again with a few of the songs being split out into multiple tracks - apparently this had to do with a contract stipulation based on the difference between an EP and an LP, being determined by number of tracks instead of total length (that may have been an overseas issue)

[A.J.]

Deep Purple: the version of Space Truckin' from Made in Japan.

[Earlshog]

Beastie Boys "B-Boy Bouillabaisse" 12:33

Greenday "Homecoming" 9:18

[Furtherman]

Mountain Jam - Allman Brothers, usually averages 33 minutes.

So many other good ones have already been mentioned.

Wilco - Spiders (Kidsmoke) 10:48

Wilco has another great song off of Mermaind Avenue Vol 2 - Remember The Mountain Bed, which I don't think makes 10 minutes but it's still long, probably around 7 minutes.

Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, clocks in over an hour.

Ryan Adams - Nobody Girl 9:40

[AJDELAWARE]

Im not a huge fan of this song, but the metal band FANTOMAS has 1 song that clocks in at 74 minutes.

[Thomas Merton]

Pure air guitar rocking out to the Outlaw's "Green Grass and High Tides". The guitar army could have your ears ringing for days

Snow on the Pines by Yonder Mountain String Band

[ParkmanPotatoWater]

O.A.R.'s "That was a crazy game of poker" off of the 34th & 8th album. 17:57

[LordJezo]

O.A.R.'s "That was a crazy game of poker" off of the 34th & 8th album. 17:57

That was the official song of my freshman year of college, it brings back great memories.

Or was it sophomore? Well, whatever, that song is really good.

[Hottub]

My current favorite is "Chloe dancer/ Crown Of Thorns".

I would like to nominate "Moby Dick -Live" as the worst long song, ever! What a snoozefest!

[barjockey]

American Pie

[Sarge]

Live: Goin Home - Ten Years After

Studio: Jesus of Suburbia - Greenday

[paulisded]

Dylan's "Idiot Wind" may "only" be 7:47, but I'd take the longer Hard Rain version anyway.

[mikeyboy]

Can - "Halleluhwah" 18:30

[A.J.]

I would like to nominate "Moby Dick -Live" as the worst long song, ever! What a snoozefest!

Listen to Cream's "Toad".

Neil Young

Cowgirl In The Sand

This was the first that came to mind because I've finally got my hands on the album "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" which I haven't heard since I left the states. I'm doubly impressed with this album because both the long songs, Cowgirl and "Down By the River" are the best on the album.

I would like to nominate "Moby Dick -Live" as the worst long song, ever! What a snoozefest!

Funny because I consider this the only drum solo that's even listenable. It's also got a special place in my heart because my best friend in high school played the gitaar and people would always come up to him and request songs and any time it was a fat chick, (this was Arizona so we're talking about 75% of the student body), he'd play the guitar intro to Moby Dick. We'd all laugh and laugh and then take the fat girls home and feed em fuck em. Good times!

[RhinoinMN]

The Chambers Brothers - Time has Come Today
Pink Floyd - Shine on You Crazy Diamond
Santana - Soul Sacrifice

[thelyonhart]

Poet Laureate 2 by Canibus off the "Rip the Jacker" Album.. its 11 minutes of rhymes with no chorus or hook that will melt your mind.

[EddieMoscone]

All Blues - Miles Davis (Kind of Blue). 11:35

[WhistlePig]

Heroin - Lou Reed (13:16) on Rock n Roll Animal

[Tall_James]

I checked my Itunes library and found that the longest songs that I had on there were from "Animals" by Pink Floyd.

[Bob Impact]

Rush - 2112
You could almost pick any Opeth song but I'll go with In the Mist She Was Standing, Master's Apprentice and The Grand Conjuration as my top three.
Mastodon - Hearts Alive

I don't know if this one counts because its arranged with an orchestra and uses sampling but Gavin Bryars - Tramp and Tom Waits with Full Orchestra

[drjoek]

Heroin - Lou Reed (13:16) on Rock n Roll Animal

Live song, doesn't count I was told
