    Pink Floyd - Pigs
    Pink Floyd - Sheep
    Pink Floyd - Echoes
    Pink Floyd - Dogs

    The Doors - When the Music's Over
    The Doors - The End


    I will add more :p
     
  2. i am.

    i just went to a radiohead concert, and as soon as i was grooving a certain song, it was over.

    what.the.fuck.

    give me a 20 minute jam so i can lose my mind and my soul = my heaven on earth.
     
  3. I love when artists/bands play an hour+ set of around 4 songs live. It's the perfect amount of time for exploration
     
  4. indeed i agree.
     
  5. long songs are some of my favorite. thats why pink flyd is one of my favorite bands. echoes, shine on you crazy diamond, alan's psychedelic breakfast, and dogs are all amazing long songs. i almost forgot about voodoo child and layla- these 2 songs are worth mentioning.
     
  6. Sleep - Dopesmoker[63min], of course. :D
    Any song by Om[avg 10+]
    Reverend Bizarre - They Used Dark Forces/Teutonic Witch [29min]
    Electric Wizard - Dopethrone[11min]

    So much more I could mention, but it's Friday, so I don't got all night. :wave:
     
  7. I mean really... wouldn't most DJ mixes fit right into this category?
     
  8. he said "song".

    not "processed electronic sounds imitating real instruments".
     
  9. I can only do over 8mins of a song if I'm at a show or in the zone to listen to said song. I was listening to Bob Dylan on my itunes the other day and the song "Desolation Row" came on and it's a great song but after about 6 minutes I was like wtf where's the next song, and I had forgotten that Desolation Row is like a 12min song!
     
  10. Morning glory does the long songs amazingly. Most of their stuff clocks in at about 5 minutes and some goes over 18 minutes, i know what u mean though, just the creativity to stretch a good song out that long is worth the listen.
     


  11. exactly.

    I love songs that just have many different songs that flow perfectly.

    Paranoid android is another.


    and no techno def. doesn't fit here.
     
  12. im the only one that ever mentions Yes lol but...
    YES- at least half their songs
    Jimi's live shit where he goes on
    grateful dead jams
    rush
    led zeppelin- achilees last stand, kashmir, in my time of dying, stairway to heaven, tea for one
     
  13. I listen to alot of jazz/fusion and alot of the songs are 6+ minute instrumentals.

    Phish - Guyuti is a great 8 minute song

    try NOFX's 'The Decline' for an 18 minute punk song.


    Great avatar Canibas, I just found that in gta4 last night.
     


  14. great stuff their. not a fan of yes but they have some cool songs.
     
  15. i love radiohead

    but its all about sgt peppers and tool's 10,000 days for me right now because those cds are fucking experiences moreso with the help of controlled substances
     
  16. ive been listening to the new tool shit too lately and shit its fuckin good and there songs are decently long enough usually 5 mins or more i think
     
  17. Taurus by Emerson, Lake and Palmer
     
  18. :mad:
    Here's your 8+ minutes. fag.

    bitterness is ugly. even on me.
     
  19. I love long songs, but in my opinion length doesnt make a song.

    Theres a few long ones I love, but there are also those 2-3 minute songs that are just as good
     
  20. pink floyds longer songs are all amazing, as well as the short ones.

    echoes, atom heart mother, dogs, sheep, pigs, alans pschedelic breakfast

    all of them take me somewhere different, but its always where i need to be
