Getting YouTube links is going to hard, since they limit song lengths there.

I'm going to suggest Make A Change... Kill Yourself - S/T
Four songs, ranging from 13 to 27 minutes in length. This is depressive black metal. Excellent stuff.

 

[Alpha Centauri]

Doesn't any piece of classical music come under this category?

I know you made a joke
But im going to be an ass and point to one of my favorit picese of classical, flight of the bummble bees, at a wopping 1:13 long, its the fastest pice for the violin.

Ahh another Symphony X fan. I'm not a Nightwish fan though.

OT - 2112 by Rush, Lochness by Judas Priest, Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden.

A Passion Play by Jethro Tull lasts 45 minutes.

Longest non-classical song I've can think of is Octavarium. Full 24 Minutes long. It's quite a piece... Yeah, Symphony X loves the long songs too.

I just recently found out about Symphony X after hearing The Odyssey on an internet radio station actually. I'm simply surprised that there's a Symphonic Metal band from America.

Heard about them through ear at school from a friend. Love their bassist.

Gee, thanks for providing a list of songs you already know so that you don't get flooded with redundant recommendations. >_>

Pink Floyd are the kings of writing long songs. These are my favourites:

Shine on you Crazy Diamond (there's two parts, part one is my favourite, but it's actually one 25 minute song)
Dogs
Pigs
Sheep(those 3 songs are all off the same album, "Animals", I highly recommend it)

And then, of course, there is "Echoes". At 23 minutes, I consider it to be Pink Floyd's greatest musical achievement; it's surreal. I'm actually going to go listen to it now!

There's also Atom Heart Mother Suite and Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast, off the top of my head. I think A Saucerful of Secrets is 11 minutes or so, but I've never actually heard the song, so I don't know how good it is.

The entire Pink Floyd album The Wall flows together like it's one big song, too. Definitely worth a listen. Same with Dark Side of the Moon.

Other than that, I'm not looking through my ten thousand pounds of music to find 10-minute songs. Sorry.

Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. And if you're going to listen to Dark Side of the Moon, you should try to play it along with The Wizard of Oz. They match up, and it's really interesting

Nightwish - Poet and the Pendulum. - 13:52
Meatloaf - I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)- 11:58
Meatloaf - Objects in the rear view mirror - 10:16

Thats the only ones I can think of off the top of my head, but I have a few more longer than 10 minutes somewhere.

 

[Nazulu]

ELP (Emmerson, Lake & Palmer):
Tarkus - 20mins
The Endless Enigma - 10mins
Karn Evil 9 - 29mins

Yes:
And You And I - 10mins
Closer to the Edge - 18mins
Heart of the Sunrise - 11mins

Just some of best progressive rock bands.

Amon Amarth's song Amon Amarth is almost 50 minutes long thats off of once sent from the golden hall. i think that one wins on length of a metal song haha. without fear is about 30 minutes long off the same album.



Machine Heads' "a farewell to arms" and "clenching the fists of disent" are also just above 10 minutes, and those are off the blackening.



And the title track off of Trivium's new album "Shogun" is around 11 minutes long.



all great music.
