Don’t forget Coma
Well, don’t wanna blank off anyone from the pit, but blank em…
I don’t know who started the tradition (about 10 years ago) of including 5, 10, 15, sometimes more minutes of dead air in the middle of the last track on CD’s. It’s even more annoying than including those 2 second long untitled tracks 13-98. I just want to go on ‘record’ as stating it’s more annoying that cute.
My 6 fave 10 minute + nominees (as yet unmentioned by other posters):
[ul]
[li]Mark-Almond Band: The City (Grass & Concrete/Taxi to Brooklyn/Speak Easy It’s a Whiskey Scene)[]Traffic: The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys[]Mike Agranoff: Ballad Of The Sandman[]Emerson Lake & Palmer: Pirates[]Twelfth Night: The Collector[*]Black Sabbath: Warning (Cover of the Aynsley Dunbar’s Retaliation song)[/ul][/li]Only factored studio tracks - When you get to live versions, it even makes the task more difficult to keep the list small. What, no 2112 noinations yet?
Green grass and high tides forever The Outlaws
How many posts an nobody has yet mentioned Bohemian Rhapsody?
Not half an hour ago, KFOG just played all 12 or so minutes of **Boz Scaggs’ ** Loan Me A Dime
It only runs 5:55. Not that long, really.
Mike Oldfield’s album Amarok is 60 minutes exactly - the whole CD is one track. I think it was partially to piss off Richard Branson, but it is also a fantastic album.
In the late '60s early '70s long stuff was common. Most of the stuff on Live Dead is long, as is the Doors The End. The second disk of the Cream’s Wheels of Fire has a long Spoonful and Toad, and Live Cream Volume 2 has Stepping Out, a Clapton solo over 10 minutes long.
The ground breaking songs, which I’m amazed that no one has mentioned yet, are **Like a Rolling Stone **and Hey Jude - not epics, but longer than the normal single of the day.
Arlo Guthrie:
Alice’s Resturant
You can get anything you want…
excepting Alice
I like the songs “Reflection” and “Third Eye” by Tool quite a bit.
Also “Airships” by VNV Nation.
And still thought to be too long. The label wanted to release the single without the operatic section, the intro, and one of the verses of the aria to get it down below four minutes.
The band stood fast and a legend was born.
Trust me. I know my Queen.
Dangit, this is the second time I’ve skipped over this thread, thinking it was asking for love songs.
“Warning” by Sabbath might be one of my tops, now that you mention it. Was it the one that goes “but my feelings were a little bit too strong”: the track listings on my Sabbath CD are a bit screwed up.
Well, it’s not nearly as long as others mentioned, but being that it is a new song, it’s worth mentioning.
Jesus of Suburbia by Green Day.
I just stopped in to mention Godspeed You! Black Emperor, but find that it has already been posted by Gadfly. Also, any of the other bands associated with Godspeed or the record label (Constellation), have plenty of long songs - but, that’s really not very unusual within the so-called post-rock genre I suppose. Do try to find Slow Riot For New Zero Canada if you get a chance - it’s amazing.
People have already mentioned Phish, and Allman Brothers - but no mentions of the Grateful Dead yet. Obviously these bands are all well known for their jams which could extend songs to great lengths. I have an awesome version of Turn on Your Lovelight by the Dead which is probably 40 minutes or so long - can’t remember exactly and it’s half way around the world from me at the moment.
Sonic Youth - The Diamond Sea 19:35
Can - Halleluhwah 18:32
Nick Cave has lots of awesome 7-10 minute songs.
A Box For Black Paul 9:42
The Carny 8:02
Hallelujah 7:48
The Mercy Seat 7:17
This far in this thread and no one has mentioned Inna Gadda Da Vida by Iron Butterfly.
Lord Vega did. But no one’s mentioned The Velvet Underground’s “Sister Ray,” which clocks in at over 17 minutes.
In My Time of Dying by Led Zeppelin 11:05
Stranglehold by Ted Nugent 8:22
Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd 9:07
On Isaac Hayes’ Hot Buttered Soul album, there’s
–Walk on By - 12:03
–By the Time I Get to Phoenix - 18:42
In fact there are only four tracks on the album. The shortest runs 5:10.
Just the song I came in to mention 
One of the lesser known Duane Allman session pieces, and one of my all-time favorite songs.
The Last Resort by the Eagles. Maybe only 7 minutes something, but you can always add a few “oohs” of your own to round it up.
“Call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye” - very Popperian.
