Everything Else / Re: Best songs over ten minutes in length...

Rory Gallagher's "Could Have Had Religion" was around the nine-minute mark in its full version, though true bluesman that he was it was always improvised and no two recordings are alike. I'd recommend the 1971 Paris theatre version or the restored 1972 Marquee footage where in a quiet bit you see a drop of sweat fall off his nose and hear it hit a pickup, that version sends shivers down my spine.

For massively long tracks, there's Sunn-O, there was an amusing comment on Youtube about their stuff being measured in minutes per beat rather than beats per minute...

I'm not gonna deny it, I can be a bit of a Prog Head, where immensely long tunes are somewhat the norm...  but what about tunes that are rather lengthy but not from a band who are in that particular genre?  Anyone got any favourites that aren't conventionally Prog?  Also, we don't strictly have to stick to the ten minute rule, anything there or about is fine.   ;)

Madness - The Liberty Of Norton Folgate

David Bowie - Station To Station

Snow Patrol - The Lightning Strike

Nina Simone - Sinnerman

Bob Dylan - Desolation Row

Tool - Fear Inoculum

Just a daft idea for a thread, trying to pump some life back into it, anyone got anything else?   :)

Every time I introduce myself, people get mad.
I introduced myself to my teacher, and I got suspended.
I introduced myself to a pretty girl, and she told me to **** off.
I introduced myself to my neighbor, and he punched me.
Maybe there's somebody else named "Yorick Hunt" with a bad reputation out there.

'The White Lotus' is one of those shows that shows that is something of a cultural phenomenon over the last few years, never watched it but binge watched the first series over the Easter weekend, what a bloody great show it is.  Very glad I caught up with it and really looking forward to the rest of it.
