So... can't deny I'm a bit of a prog-head. I do like tunes that go past the ten minute mark when they have great musicianship, a concept that is allowed space to breathe and lyrics that really get to grips with what the band are going on about. Bands like Rush, Marillion, Dream Theatre, Floyd, Zeppelin, Maiden, etc...
Not to everybody's taste, I agree. And for the record, one of my fave songs ever is The Smiths 'Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want', just under two minutes and absolutely perfect...
But this is a thread about dem LONG songs... what's one you really like, if this is the sort of thing that floats your boat?
It's my thread, so I'll put a ten-minute minimum on potential nominations! ;D
I'll give you 'Gaza' by Marillion... a band best known for soft rock in the 80's but nowadays they're kinda like Peter Gabriel with a bit of Floyd and Dream Theatre thrown in, great band, and this track is 17 minutes of awesomeness.

This could be an interesting thread
I will also go with Marillion and give you Grendel

Achilles: agony and ecstasy in eight parts by Manowar.....28 minutes.
Another personal fave O Superman by Laurie Anderson
-
Aw, this is a cool thread. 8) There are so many songs to list. But normally they're not well capable to other threads so here they might get some listens maybe.
Ok. Jack Luminous (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-koxOmKNxT0) by the Voivod. \m/

Glad some appreciation here!
Moving away from rock for a moment... Chemical Brothers, Private Psychadelic Reel, live from Glasto in 2000...

:D

This song is one of the great, great, great songs ever. It's called Ghost Light / Dread Recall and contains two songs or quite like. It's not proggy but rather relaxing, mysterious and even a bit frightening stuff at the same time. Experimental dub. The artist is Bill Laswell's band called the Material. Here:

so how long is long? classical music can, at times, last for an age. Especially if you don't like it. Long music is up to the composers in how they make you feel through the performance. lets not forget that classical music does last longer.
my throw into the bag is endemondiada FOTN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zAxD1MQrps
Ooops, hope 7:16 is a long song? otherwise I will need to rethink. that could cause difficulty

If it's looong prog rock songs you want, how about Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Tarkus
Doesn't make a huge amount of sense but some superb musicianship. I like it anyway !

Deep Purple's Child In Time clocks in at just over the 10 min threshold;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfAWReBmxEs
-
How about Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7zk4as9kzA
Can I be really naughty and sneak in an instrumental that is just 3 seconds short of 10 mins ? ;)

That's nice, Tony. I tried to find an extended version of Mandrake Root I know they usually performed live, I din't find so good versions about it but it was also a killer song combined with all that jamming fury and craziness they often entered to.

Oh yeah, I've got a couple of live cds with extended versions of Mandrake Root ! I like your description "jamming fury and craziness". Sums it up quite well ! As Ian Gillan once said "Can we have everything louder than everything else" :)
-
Deep Purple in Rock was my first lp (a christmas gift of my elder brother) :)
There are many LONG songs I like (Cream, Blind Faith ...)
let`s start with this one
Rare Earth - I`m loosing you - 10:59
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F28X8--2dFU
-
Or
Rare Earth in concert - Get Ready (23:34, not easy to top)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K94ljpjkChY
I and some others were cleaning the dancing floor with our long hair ;D
-
Or one of my fav song ever
Eric Burdon& War live - Tobacco Road (14:08)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig4jQrofnBI
The version of Paint It Black is fine, too
Eric is still touring, I`ve never seen him live, so I`ll better hurry to arrange it before it`s too late ....
-
A short one
Man - Many are called (7:32)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig4jQrofnBI
1965 - 1975 was the time a lot of bands had the chance to record LONG songs and to play them live - without bothering the fans - and the artists at that time were able to write and play their own songs or to do some very personal and interesting cover songs in their own style
but not today >:(
Only two fav bands are left I want to follow and looking for some new stuff and touring dates :'( :'(
-
Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize ( Comes clocked at 17:44) of great music I saw them perform this live in 2007 and the shorter version in 2008 that version came in at 9 minutes. 8)
And let me not forget
Pink Floyd - Echoes which comes clocked at 23:34 and I also saw them perform this live in 1975 in Tuscon. What a show. even after all these years and chemical stimulants ;) I can still remember that concert. 8)
-
Uriah Heep- July Morning. First heard this on Mr Peel's show, blew me away. Still does....

i really like master rays approach to this topic and want to contribute to this thread with the following two songs.
my first fandomly love of a band was for frankie goes to hollywood and i still love of their work and their appearance and what they meant for pop music. "they" is the product of the band and i still wonder how many people were involved, what part did erverybody have. many questions left. but if you go back and listen to the lps welcome to the pleasuredome and liverpool, you will find some wonderful music with great lyrics.
i really think nma could cover rage hard or warriors of the wasteland and it would fit. these songs seem to be worthy to be adapted by nma.
and since we all love nma also for the lyrics and poetry, i invite you to read these from warriors which i love:
From diamond mine to the factory
Everybody's doing what you've got to keep on doing for society
Make this world a good place to be
Let livin' be but don't work for free
Playing isn't paying so work is what I'm saying
Working for the world go round
The battle cry don't mess with me
I've traveled the world for eternity
Warriors of the wasteland
Sailboats of ice on desert sands
Warriors of the wasteland
It seems to me that the powers that be
Keep themselves in splendour and security
Armoured cars for megastars
No streets, no bars, yours wealth is ours
They make the masses, kiss their assets
Lower class jackass, pay me tax take out the trash
Working for the world go round
Your job is gold, do as you're told
They pay you less then run for congress
Warriors of the wasteland
Sailboats of ice on desert sands
Warriors - what a waste, man
I'm working for the world go round, go round
Diamond mine to the factory, yeah
Make this a world, a good place to be
Warriors - what a waste, man
Warriors
We're rats in a cage
Suicide a go go
listen to the song...
but here you have a 12min mix of rage hard. candy for the ear and you really can learn a bit to listen to different structures and layers in a song. it opened my ears
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54vP7fHrJT8
then here is the opener of the album welcome to the pleasuredome with the same title. it's a 13min ride through wonderland. imagine you listen to this song after buying the album because you know the no. 1 hit relax.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVDC6kPCkWA
don't know if some of you will like these old pop songs, but to me it's more than pop
-
I reckon there are two obvious ones that haven't been mentioned yet.
Mr Oldfield "Tubular Bells"
Part one (25:00 on the album cover) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LFCG7kOsxE
Part two (23:50 on the album cover) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKgVtDhzScI
Each one almost as long as an episode of "blue Peter" !
-
Live songs ok?
This at 13.45 is indeed quite long:
The Cure - The Forest
It's Friday - turn it up !!!!! ;D

Cthulhu, I am also a fellow Frankie lover, mainly through nostalgic memories, but it's love all the same (lets face it, the Pleasuredome album had a shitload of filler on it!). And Warriors is a fantastic tune, although I prefer the 'Liverpool' version...
I truly think that the 'Liverpool' album is an under-rated classic...
Anna, live tracks are all welcome...
Here's the utterly lovely 'Secret World' by Peter Gabriel, live from the tour of the same name... wish I could have seen this show...

He Loved Him Madly by Miles Davis. That one's a heartbreaker.

I've spotted numerous Damned fans on the site so I'll go ahead and presume someone posted Curtain Call somewhere or other.

BUMP...
I've often mentioned how much I like Marillion, have done since I was a young fella, so here's 'The New Kings', the six minute preview of the lead-off track from their new album '**** Everyone And Run (F.E.A.R.)'... not the full length track, that's only on the album and might be as long as 20 minutes... I rather like it.

Shortish for this list at 6:20, but long for a punk/hardcore band, I think:
Black Flag - Slip It In (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6f-4uYm9-uw)
And **a tad** sexist.
-
One I like - but the rest of the office don't -
Sun Ra - Space is the Place
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dokLwszdUgY
and that's why I wear my headphones.

That should be a link to Suite Sister Mary by Queensryche off the album Operation Mindcrime. Part rock opera, part murderous religious conspiracy. It's a great album.
