I enjoy long rock ballads, is that such a bad thing? My personal favourite being Rush's "2112 Overture/Temple of Syrinx." What is your favourite 15 minute+ song?

Note: This is not the full song. The full song is about 20:33.

This is a bit of niche kind of thing. There aren't exactly a lot of 15+ minute songs/ballads/etc. out there.

Pretty much anything in the way of classical music does it for me. It also happens to be the only thing I listen to longer than 15+ minutes.

Yeah, I wanted to spread the word of how awesome my favourite song is, but, I wanted to have something to set it apart from the usual "Favourite Song" thread.

I don't have a favorite song that is 15+ minutes long.

The longest song I listen to is about 13 minutes. It's called "The Poet and the Pendulum", and it's by Nightwish

This song would technically be cheating since its really two in one but.........
My Gift To You by Korn. It clocks in about 17:43-ish. The song itself is 7 minutes, then 5 minutes of silence, then an audio track of the studio, the a cover of Earache My Eye by Cheech and Chong

Fantastic song! Although I think Ghost's Love Score is better.

OT:- In the presence of enemies Part's 1 and 2 by Dream Theater from the album Systematic Chaos. In fact all there songs are brilliant and about half of the are over 15 minutes. Octavarium is about 40 minutes and its awesome.

Epic song sir, and 'Beauty of the Beast' is also good and of comparable length.

In terms of a 15mins plus song, it'd be either the live version of 'Green Grass And High Tides' by the Outlaws, 'Space Trucking' by Deep Purple, 'Gates of Delirium' by Yes or 'The Calling' by Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton

I don't, I never really liked Ghost Love all that much.

Thank you, and yes, Beauty of the Beast is also a great song. :)

I love East Hastings by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. It's just under 18 minutes long.

That would be Retrospective by Silent Memorial. It's 22:23 minutes long. I can't seem to find it on Youtube but here [http://open.spotify.com/track/5RSt50Ct9algZL1BeGLK1y]'s a Spotify link if anyone's interested. The style is something progressive metal... ish.

Other good songs include Circus Maximus' The 1st Chapter [http://open.spotify.com/track/6U6pUFIcyTVQ7lHl6CvcjV] (19:08), 9-29-045 [http://open.spotify.com/track/4vzQ3Snr0hh0LldwRCQJXi] (15:30) by Green Carnation, Apart [http://open.spotify.com/track/2GhHTbJrb5rhFwNzncYLyK] (16:43) by Ikuinen Kaamos and Losing the Sunset [http://open.spotify.com/track/6cM00jprazT9a28234sTwY] (34:37) by Swallow the Sun... I know that no one will listen to these; I just like writing about them.

quarter of an hours pretty long in my book but Tubular Bells would be one of my choices.

on the topic, there are two songs that spring to mind that are >10 minute songs that really shouldnt be.
first is rober palmers Bad Cae Of Loving You...i think the full song is 20minutes and it never really changes. torture

second is Death Sex by the distillers; very good song for about 3 minutes and then its feedback and hell. seriously, just leave it be.
