Whats your favourite song thats longer than 10 minutes

In the Presence of Enemies - Dream Theater - 25:35.
Also happens to be the longest song in my collection. Well, I have longer tracks,but they are technically not "a song", but several songs, together in one track.One is Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence - Dream Theater - 41:32, but that is 8 songs (one whole CD) combined. But since the songs are meant to come one after the other on the CD, I stapled them together for awesomeness. The other track is a rip of one of the radio stations from GTA Vice City - V-Rock - 01:17:24. But that's a whole bunch of songs, mixed with "commercials" and other stuff.

Honorable mentions include

The Shattered Fortress - Dream Theater - 12:49
The Glass Prison - Dream Theater - 13:53
Octavarium - Dream Theater - 24:00
A Nightmare to Remember - Dream Theater - 14:10
Instrumedley - Dream Theater - 12:15
Animate-Inanimate - John Petrucci (Dream theater's guitarist) - 11:37
and The Czar - Mastodon (not Dream Theater at all) - 10:54

Is Money for Nothin' longer than ten minutes? If so, that's my favorite.

1) Stop listening to that song because hardcore Dire Straits fans look down upon it.

2) Keep listening to it because if I like a song, I don't give a crap what other people think about it.

I'm a hardcore Dire Straits fan and I love it, so screw them. :P

[QUOTE="peaceoutmedusa"] We are talking about THRILLER. Stop it.peaceoutmedusa

Yes we are. But you can't accept the fact that using blind statistics and sales numbers don't mean that something is actually "the best."

Experts? A real expert would know that you need more than just vocals and backing instruments to have a "best" song. Also, just using MTV as a "special" example is pathetically hilarious.

[QUOTE="peaceoutmedusa"][QUOTE="GabuEx"]

Thriller is under six minutes long, unless you're not talking about the Michael Jackson song...

GabuEx

The song is still under six minutes long. :P

Yes the song itself is less than 10 minutes, themusic video is well over 10 minutes but music videos do not count, so thriller cannot be included here. Maybe you can make a thread that is"whats your favourite music video over 10 minutes long?"

I just KNOW I'm going to get made fun of for this. "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That" by Meatloaf.nocoolnamejim

LOL if there was a song that was 1:17:24 it would be absolutely ridiculous.

Echoes is 23:29 (yes, I looked it up already). But reagrdless, I need some more Pink Floyd in my library - and I've been drifting towards older rock-ier stuff lately.. The problem is finding an album of their here.... Sigh..

[QUOTE="nocoolnamejim"][QUOTE="RAMRODtheMASTER"] There isn't anything wrong with Meatloaf.RAMRODtheMASTER

I dont think any of Meatloafs album coverswould beat Magnum's "Chasing The Dragon" album cover.

Grammy for best video, nominated for record of the year. And was a landmark for the music industry, thus people making music video's as something more than just someone performing a whole song in front of a camera the whole time, and changed the pop landscape as a whole. Many artists have emulated the sound in their songs too.

[QUOTE="nocoolnamejim"][QUOTE="RAMRODtheMASTER"] There isn't anything wrong with Meatloaf.RAMRODtheMASTER

Nah, man.Motörhead are dominating the "cool album covers" business.

Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize is great, you should check it out :-)

[QUOTE="WushuFighter"]

[QUOTE="peaceoutmedusa"] But using many experts who would agree with me would. Millions of people agree with this. I am not going to give you a source since you can find MOST OF THEM that would agree with me. Whenever someone does a special (MTV, VH1, BET) about music videos, Thriller is ALWAYS #1. peaceoutmedusa

What makes these awards important? And the pop landscape has died... a long time ago.

Brb buying music that's only on the top charts..

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida...17 mins...I think...

The Game's 300 Bars and Running, it's about 18 minutes. kyleali11

[QUOTE="RAMRODtheMASTER"][QUOTE="nocoolnamejim"] Oh, I quite agree. (Note that my favorite 10 minute+ song is by Meatloaf.) I just also know I'm going to get mocked for it. :)loft8000

Focus - Hamburger Concerto. Hasn't changed :D.

I'll also mention Genesis -Supper's Ready, King Crimson - Lizard, Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick,Yes -Gates of Delirium andPink Floyd - Shine on you Crazy Diamond just to fill out the over 20 minute catergory, cause I'm hardcore like that :P.

A good chunk of my faviourite songs are longer than 10 minutes though, which makes it difficult to decide.

Symphony X - The Odyssey (24:10)

Between The BuriedAnd Me- White Walls

Dream Theater- Home

Frank Zappa- Willie The Pimp (Not quite 10 minutes, but close enough).

Its awesomeness is unparalleled.

-Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-IX)- Pink Floyd
-Rime of the Ancient Mariner- Iron Maiden
-In My Time of Dying- Led Zeppelin
-Dogs- Pink Floyd
-Echoes- Pink Floyd

Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness 1:00:06. That's right, an hour long song. Look it up if you want :D

but my real answer would probably be any Godspeed You! song, especially from F#A# or LYSF

Reach Down by Temple of the Dog.Chris Cornell is awesome.

Synagoga Satanae...

Classical, probably Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.

I have none. :(
