Anyone know how to download your WMP media library info to an Excel spreadsheet?
I’ll try to pick ones I haven’t seen yet:
Mediterranean Sundance/Rio Ancho - DiMeola, McLaughlin and de Lucia Liberation - Chicago Station to Station - David Bowie Sativa - David Grisman The Eternal Triangle - Dizzy Gillespie When the Music’s Over - The Doors (I saw The End mentioned, but not this one!) The Musical Box - Genesis The Battle of Epping Forest - Genesis The Cinema Show - Genesis Root Down - Jimmy Smith Slow Down Sagg - Jimmy Smith My Favorite Things - John Coltrane In My Time of Dying - Led Zeppelin Achilles’ Last Stand - Led Zeppelin The Astaire Blues - Oscar Peterson Demand - Phish The Divided Sky - Phish David Bowie - Phish Pigs - Pink Floyd Sheep - Pink Floyd A Saucerful of Secrets - Pink Floyd Underture - The Who
Does anyone else remember Nektar from the early '70s, and their one major U.S. hit, Remember the Future? Though it looks like multiple tracks, it’s actually one song, continued on both sides, but the A side is the only one really played on radio, and qualifies at 16 minutes and 40 seconds. Don’t know if it would stand the test of time, but I used to love this song. For those unfamiliar, you can listen to a clip here.
I missed this post before I composed mine, but you won’t get any dumping on from me – that whole album rocks (man, am I dating myself, or what?!). Great submission.
That is of course what I meant when I nominated “Corporal Clegg” back upthread. Which is a quite listenable track off the same album, but isn’t anywhere close to 10 minutes long.
Sorry, but no I don’t. And the RTF song was the first one I thought of. I guess I can still add
The Duel of the Jester and the Tyrant - Return to Forever 11:26 Do What You Like - Blind Faith 15:17 Lady Fantasy - Camel 12:43 Take A Pebble - Emersom, Lake and Palmer 12:34 Anonymous Two - Focus 26:20 Weather Report Suite - Grateful Dead 12:43 Dead And Gone - Gypsy 10:55 Song For America - Kansas 10:03 Rebubula - moe. 11:27 Jurassic Shift - Ozric Tentacles 11:04 Kashmir - Page/Plant 12:27 Flame - Sky - Santana 11:31 Rollover - String Cheese Incident 10:56 Fool’s Overture - Supertramp 10:52 July Morning - Uriah Heep 10:32 City, Country, City and The World Is A Ghetto - War 13:24 and 10:17 All Blues - Miles 11:35 Chameleon - Herbie Hancock 15:34 Farandole (L’Arlesienne Suite #2) - Hubert Laws 10:56
And while live tracks almost seem like cheating, I’d still add Let It Rain ('70) - Derek and the Dominoes 19:46 In Your Eyes ('93) - Peter Gabriel 11:34 A Day at the Dog Races ('77) - Little Feat 12:12 Once Upon A Time In The West ('83) - Dire Straits 13:01 Afro Blue and 3rd Stone From The Sun ('98) - Gov’t Mule 29:30/17:06 Angry Eyes ('72-73) - Loggins and Messina 10:05 Heroin ('74) - Lou Reed 12:52 Jumping Jack Flash>Youngblood ('72) - Leon Russell 16:09 Incident At Neshabur ('73) - Santana 15:56 Every Step of the Way ('73) - Santana 11:30 Savor>Toussaint L’Overture ('77) - Santana 12:56 Glad>Freedom Rider ('73) - Traffic 21:00
and honorable mention to Post Toastee - Tommy Bolin 9:03 The Bomber - James Gang 7:00 (the recently legal long version with “Bolero” teasers) Plane Crash - moe. 8:54 ( I don’t know why a song with a two minute orchestral intro, a nine minute length and a chorus that consists of the line “I’m too fuckin’ high” isn’t a HUGE radio hit!)
To go off topic a bit, I LOVE this song, and I’ll tell ya why. People don’t really listen to the lyrics at the end. The guy basically wants to die to get away from the girl - he doesn’t want to break his promise, but he hates being with her.
Plus, it’s just a great song. But it’s only 8:28, according to my ipod.
I’ll take “In My Time of Dying” by Led Zeppelin, at 10:51.
The longest recording that I have (on CD) is A Love Supreme performed by John Coltrane on the album Juan Les Pins Jazz Festival 1965 and clocks at 47:58.
BTW - Coltrane’s longest version of *My Favorite Things * (mentioned earlier) clocks in at 29:00 and its from his Complete Copenhagen Concert concert and CD. This was one of Coltrane’s favorite pieces in concert. I have 14 different versions of this song ranging from jazz artists like Coltrane, Dave Brubeck, Grant Green and Kenny Burrell all the way to the Mekons :eek: on their Fear and Whiskey CD.
One of my favorite extended songs would be Duke Ellington’s Black, Brown and Beige, which clocked in at 48:32 (for all three movements) in its entirety when debuted at Ellington’s 1943 Carnegie Hall Concert. It was roundly panned by both the audience and critics who apparently didn’t want to know what Duke’s opinions were regarding African Americans (the program for the concert included a description, IIRC, written by Ellington or based on an interview with him).
FWIW, I currently have some 800 jazz selections that clock in at 10:00 or over.
I’d heard the name Nina Simone but somehow never heard any of her recordings. On impulse, after reading your post, I bought her up on Real Rhapsody. She is fabulous! Thanks, irishgirl, for turning me on to her.
Not sure of the times, but: Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen (hard to believe no one had mentioned it) Scenes from an Italian Restaurant (Ballad of Brenda and Eddie) by Billy Joel
