The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
The Outlaws Green Grass And High Tides - I know that they have like 4 guitarists that need to solo, but geez!
I remember back in the days of vinyl, when I’d buy a new record, I’d look at the grooves. Narrow, densely grooved tracks were what I wanted: short and loud. I was disappointed at seeing wide tracks with sparsely grooved parts in it.
I was thinking this the other day when The Doors were on. I can’t remember but I think it was Light My Fire.
Moby Dick, by Led Zeppelin.
I mean, come on!
The fact that ABBA’s “I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do” made it on the charts scares me.

I’ll second “Hey Jude.” It’s a great song until the “Nahhhh Nah Nah NahNah Nah Nahhhh” part. As a general rule, I don’t like shrieking. This holds doubly true in music.
I’ll also nominate the live version of “Little Pink Houses” at the Concert for New York. Mellencamp and his band do a superb job for the first 3/4ths. The bridge is awesome with an incredibly soulful fiddle solo. And then, inexplicably, just before the final verse, Mellencamp introduces Kid Rock to finish the song. WTF? And what was the best damn version of the song I’ve ever heard ends up sound like karaoke on crack. Kid Rock goes off on tangents and the back up vocalists have no idea how to reign him back in.
Good one. I love that song but it should be about 4 minutes max.
No. Incorrect. Every bit of Sweet Child o’ Mine is absolutely necessary. Each note is as important as the previous one. No, MORE important.
The outro to the Pixies’ Gigantic could have been a full minute shorter. As it is, it continues on the same guitar part that isn’t interesting enough to warrant a full minute of repetition. Furthermore, someone’s playing the same damn piano tone in 16th notes. Argh. Pixies I love you, and that song, but cut it short.
I love the Chemical Brothers track “Where Do I Begin” with Beth Orton, but there’s about a full minute of “where do I end” involved.
As much as I hate to knock Bob Dylan, Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands is much too long. I don’t care how long the song is if he’s got something to say (see Desolation Row ), but this is just a big long turd fluff.
Oh My God, why hasn’t anyone said Paradise By The Dashboard Light yet? That song is really 4,504,217 songs all squished into one. Except each song part lasts a hundred and fifty years.
So it’s the beginning that’s the problem, then.
CCR’s “I Heard it Through the Grapevine” lasts for days.
“Lights” by Journey appears to go on forever.
Disco Inferno.
Yuck.
Clearly that must be the case. In fact, I’m certain that must be what he’s saying.
I’m truly at a loss as to how anyone could hate that song. And really, the “I know” bit only goes on for, what, 15-20 seconds? Sheesh, people. 
I could stand having about a minute shaved off of the end of the Postal Service’s cover of “Against all odds”. Okay, if I take a look at you now, will you end the song already?
