Best studio songs over 10 minutes

[djerdap]

Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand
The Doors - The End
Dire Straits - Telegraph Road
Television - Marquee Moon

What are your choices?

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Hmm. My personal favourite is Sonic Youth's 'The Diamond Sea'. I can't listen to anything else for a long while after listening to it. Yes I know a lot of it is just noise but for some reason I find it incredibly cathartic. What else?

Miles Davis - 'Miles Runs The Voodoo Down'
Sigur Ros - 'Untitled 8'
John Coltrane - 'My Favourite Things'
Nina Simone - 'Sinnerman'
Sigur Ros - 'Vidra vel til loftarasa'
Sigur Ros - 'Svefn-g-englar'
Ravel - 'Bolero'
The Velvet Underground - 'Sister Ray'
Underworld - 'Born Slippy' (close enough)

Probably a few remixes run over 10 minutes (or close) but I can't be bothered to clock anything.

Will think of a few more tomorrow, probably mostly jazz/electronica stuff.

I think Jungleland is around 9:35. So it's close, but no cigar.

Dream Theater - A Change Of Seasons

[impy13]

Sigur Ros - Untitled 8

Bar none.

 

[lmjhitman]

Sigur Ros - Untitled 8

i'd include milano as well.

and wilco - spiders (kidsmoke)
new order - confusion (pump panel reconstruction mix)

my far and away favourite would have to be broken social scene - it's all gonna break, which clocks in at 5 seconds short of 10 minutes.

 

[impy13]

Milano is up there, too, but silence is what pushes it past the ten minute mark. Unfortunately, the new version of Hafsol from the Sæglópur EP clocks in 15 seconds short of the mark, because it is delicious.




And a big to all these Spiders references.

The Cure-Watching me fall.

[Axver]

...hey, I like long, progressive songs.

So do I, which is why I present the following (incomplete) list of 10+ minute songs that I think are excellent, though not quite on the level of Dream Theater's A Change Of Seasons:

Agalloch - Fire Above, Ice Below
Agalloch - She Painted Fire Across The Skyline, Parts I-III
Agalloch - In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion
Anathema - Violence
Änglagård - Jordrök
Änglagård - Vandringar I Vilsenhet
Änglagård - Kung Bore
Circus Maximus - Glory Of The Empire
Circus Maximus - The 1st Chapter
Dire Straits - Telegraph Road
Dream Theater - A Mind Beside Itself
Dream Theater - Scarred
Dream Theater - Raise The Knife
Dream Theater - Lines In The Sand
Dream Theater - Trial Of Tears
Dream Theater - Learning To Live
Dream Theater - Endless Sacrifice
Dream Theater - In The Name Of God
jesu - Walk On Water (damnit, Friends Are Evil is 17 seconds short of 10 minutes)
John Petrucci - Animate-Inanimate
Liquid Tension Experiment - Three Minute Warning Parts I-V
Marillion - This Is The 21st Century
My Dying Bride - The Cry Of Mankind
Opeth - Master's Apprentices
Opeth - Reverie/Harlequin Forest
Opeth - The Moor
Pelican - March To The Sea
Pelican - Red Ran Amber
Pink Floyd - Dogs
Pink Floyd - Pigs (Three Different Ones)
Pink Floyd - Sheep
Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere But Not Here
Porcupine Tree - Russia On Ice
Porcupine Tree - Moonloop (not the coda, not the edit, but the full 40 minute improvisation!)
Porcupine Tree - Radioactive Toy
Porcupine Tree - Buying New Soul
Porcupine Tree - The Sky Moves Sideways, Phases I-II (or the 34 minute Alternate Version, they're both excellent)
Porcupine Tree - Up The Downstair
Porcupine Tree - Burning Sky
Pure Reason Revolution - The Bright Ambassadors Of Morning
Symphony X - The Accolade (I don't care that it's nine seconds short of 10 minutes!)

And what may be the longest song mentioned in this thread: Porcupine Tree - Voyage 34. The only reason it is split into four phases is because it was initially released on vinyl, which simply can't hold an unbroken 63:25 song!

So much progressive goodness.

Bop Gun (One Nation) - Ice Cube

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

The Cure - The same deep water as you......

Led Zeppelin - "Carouselambra"


I was around 4 or 5 when In Through The Out Door came out and my Dad would blast "Carouselambra" over and over and over. Now, every time I hear it, it reminds me of being a carefree little kid. Good song.

 

[GibsonGirl]

Some of my favourites:

The Doors - The End (an all-time fave )
Pink Floyd - Echoes / Sheep / Dogs / SOYCD 1-5 + 6-9 / Pigs (Three Different Ones) / Atom Heart Mother
Television - Marquee Moon
Led Zep - Achilles Last Stand / Carouselambra

I am so hooked on Buying New Soul at the moment. And Hatesong too - which is just 8:28 according to my iTunes. Though right now, I'm most into Drown With Me.
