Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted August 18, 2002 I know that there are some bands who just play a song that goes on for at least 15 minutes, but this is probably the longest song I have heard Thick As A Brick by Jethro Tull is an amazing CD, and it has only one song on it called thick as a brick, which goes up to 45 minutes in length. Dream Theater has some long ones too, with A Change of Seasons being 25 minutes... any other bands when it comes to epic songs such as those two, and that long Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted August 18, 2002 "Moya" by Godspeed You Black Emperor...anything they do is basically a 20-25 minute instrumental. Also "Sister Ray" by the Velvet Underground, looooong stuff. Of course, these are mainly instrumentals. For songs with lyrics that go quite the length...well, my favorite's got to be "Pushit" by Tool. Almost 14 minutes, multiple movements...I'm diggin' it.

Guest La Parka Es Mi Papa Report post Posted August 18, 2002 Hmm.... "The Decline" by NOFX is pretty long, about twenty minutes. Tool's Pushit, although that's been mentioned. Nine Inch Nail's Hurt. I'm not sure how long it is, but it's pretty long. I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted August 18, 2002 Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield takes up an entire record front and back. Atom Heart Mother's a long mofo as well. (And great) Other than that, I listen to grind for the most part, so don't look to me for long songs. For instance, Nasum's marathon record is around 2 minutes in length.

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted August 18, 2002 "Kashmir," Led Zepplin "Rapper's Delight," Sugar Hill Gang "Katy Song," Red House Painters "Blue Monday," New Order "Too Long," Daft Punk Of course, those are the longest enjoyable songs I've ever heard. I'm sure there are longer and more of them, but I just don't care to remember them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheRockIsTheEuropeanChampion Report post Posted August 18, 2002 Godspeed You Black Emporer is my favourite band when it comes to long songs, even though they're basically all instrumentals. "The Dead Flag Blues" is only 18 minutes, but it kicks ass. Yeah... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ArkhamGlobe Report post Posted August 18, 2002 Longest I can think of off the top of my head is Karn Evil 9 by Emerson, Lake & Plamer, which runs 29 minutes. Great music, if you're into prog rock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zero_Cool Report post Posted August 18, 2002 Albequerque is about 10:00 I think. Well, I remember a secret track on a Reel Big Fish cd being 11:00...but most of the song was just dick and fart jokes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EricMM Report post Posted August 18, 2002 The longest songs I own are Disgustipated, Pushit, and possibly Disposition/Reflection/Triad by TOOL. They play the last one as a chunk live so... There's also Third Eye by them. Disgustipated is really really not a song, and Pushit and Third Eye are real songs and are real LONG songs. The Decline is also massive and it's REALLY good. The CD is very cute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JaKyL25 Report post Posted August 19, 2002 Here's some good long songs... JIMMY EAT WORLD - just watch the fireworks I think you got the wrong song title. I forget how long Just Watch the Fireworks is, but Goodbye Sky Harbor, the song that closes the Clarity album, is a good 16 minutes long, and easily the longest one on the album, much longer than Just Watch the Fireworks. Damn good album though. I think I'll listen to it again. B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Redhawk Report post Posted August 19, 2002 On a similar topic, a couple years ago this local 70s funk-style band was playing at some Seattle Center event which I've now forgotten...they had a song called "5 Minutes to Rock the House," and the song lasted like 15 minutes. Just thought that was odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nevermortal Report post Posted August 19, 2002 Lemme add "Tamlin" by Current93, which is 10 minutes but sounds like about 30. If you've never heard this song, make it a point to do so. Its pretty (unintentionally) funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
