I can't remember what it's called, but Someone set up a machine to play the same 4 notes again and again exactly every 30 seconds for 1 hour, it sounds crazy, but works really well as background music for concentrating.

The Light and the Glass by Coheed and Cambria
Come on, no mention of 21:13? While it's not actually 21 minutes and 13 seconds, it's pretty long. Awesome, too.

Also, Swim to the Moon by Between the Buried and Me.

Jesus of Suburbia ~ Greenday
At 9:07 this, definitely. Also Through The Fire And Flames - Dragonforce (7:56).

Oh, and the entirety of Cassandra Gemini - The Mars Volta. The song checks in at a huge 31:42...

Just no....

There are SO MANY MORE long Metallica songs that are better than One.

For example,

...And Justice for All
Mercyful Fate (Garage, Inc)
Orion
Actually One is there most famous song and a great build it is too.

I will never understand why people just hate 'One' out of all Metallica songs, it's what got me into Metallica and out of Linkin Park, the instrumental at the end of it is still one of the best I have ever heard.
What I don't like about One is that it is simply overplayed, just like enter sandman and maybe master of puppets. People only know Metallica for One and Enter sandman, it pisses me off, there are so many better songs than those overrated 2.

Plenty of this sort of stuff going on in my iTunes.

The longest is 'Dopesmoker' by Sleep (63 mins 31 secs). After that there's plenty of stuff by The Mars Volta, as well as post-rock stuff from Godspeed You! Black Emperor, some of Sonic Youth's experimental stuff, more post-rock from Mogwai... all of which goes on for well over 20 minutes.

To really take it to extremes, I'd like you to meet Nǽnøĉÿbb?rğ VbëřřĦōlökäävsŦ [http://www.nanocyborg.net] (pronounced "nano-cyborg uber-holocaust") - a dark ambient project, keen on dragging stuff on, whose longest song so far goes on for 6 hours and 44 minutes. Some people suggest it's unlistenable. I maintain that it's absolutely perfect background ambience for when I'm working.

Dopesmoker by Sleep.

AN HOUR AND 3 MINUTES LONG.

Other than that, Free Bird and Master of Puppets would be the most notable.(I measure road trips in units of Free Birds sometimes.)

Edit: I just realized... Ninja'd by one post. Well played.

Almost anything by Opeth. And Dragonforce has no song under 5 minutes and few songs longer than 7 minutes.
