I've only got a five min edit of the Diamond Sea. It's beautiful, but I don't quite want to listen to it on and on and on.

Yeah, it's 17:02. I wrote it down wrong. Sorry about that.

I actually saw Iron Butterfly in concert, they played the song for about 15 mins, it was pretty cool. All the rest of the songs they played were less than interesting though.
 
Shortest- "Little Room"- White Stripes
The interlude on Pearl Jam's Yield Album

Longest- "Dazed and Confused (live from the BBC)"- Led Zeppelin, 20:00+
 
Bowie "Don?t Sit Down" 00:38
Longest: above mentioned Floyd and Straits; some Kurtis Blow Mixes (over an hour), and a 20 minutes live version of Purple Rain.
 
Middle of the road songs (lengthwise):

Favorite:

Getaway- The Music
 
Well now, this is easy. Whoo hey!

The shortest song that I happen to like is 'Fall on Me' by REM.

The longest song that I like is 'Madam George' by Van Morrison.
 
Oh and another one, in the longer-ish category (I don't know how long exactly, but it's quite long, so fuck you): 'Heroin' by the Velvet Underground.
