Songs of great length?

[Launcelot111]

My question to the fine folks of this board is simple: what are your favorite songs of over 10 minutes in length? It can be any genre: trance to metal to acid jazz. I don't care what it is, I just want to hear what's out there and your stance on very long songs in general.

My favorites:




Consolation prizes to Bruce Springsteen's "Jungleland" (9'33") and Broken Social Scene's "It's All Gonna Break" (9'55")

Spoiler: Pink Floyd: Masters of the lengthy composition.

I would have added a couple more tracks to it, but these two are by far two of my favorite lengthy songs of theirs.

 

[JaceArveduin]

That's easy

[Scarim Coral]

Does this count? (On my Itune it does like exatly 10 minutes despite it end before that mark.)

 

[General Grind]

This is probably among the best songs in existence (At least my existence).
It also encompasses the whole Odyssey, which obviously makes the song rather lengthy.

 

[Tragedy's Rebellion]

My Dying Bride's latest opus

I'd have to agree with this guy, Pink Floyd really do make some long-ass songs. I have a live version of Echoes that's over 26 minutes.

 

[DoPo]

Hmm, I can remember several on the top of my head but they are mostly slightly over 10 minutes

Spoiler: 1349 - Hellfire

The time of the video is off. The track is 13 minutes 49 seconds.

Spoiler: Deep Purple - Child in Time

A thread about long songs and no mention of Rush? For shame...

 

[Musette]

Spoiler: Is it cheating if I choose a medley?

Other than that, Do pieces with multiple movements add up to one total time?

Spoiler: If so.....

It has four movements, but it can take around 20 minutes to play the entire piece.

 

[Melon Hunter]

One of the very few 10+ minute songs I will always happily listen to. There's something about the Guillemots I really like.

Beat me to it ^^

I'll go with Boogie Woogie Walz instead, especially the last 4 minutes, so incredibly groovy

Also, The Liberty of Norton Folgate, not my favorite Madness song, but the only one that runs over 10 minutes ^^
