    What is your all time favorite long song?

    in all of rock history, say 6 minutes or longer. They're doing this "Long song weekend" thing on the local classic rock station all weekend here and so far I'm loving it. Got me thinking as to what long songs really stand out for me, and I must say it's been great to hear some of them played again. A lot of them don't get much radio air time simply because they are too long.

    A few that instantly come to mind to get you started.....

    In a gadda da vida --- Iron Butterfly
    Funeral for a friend --- Elton John
    Load out/Stay -------- Jackson Browne
    Do you feel like we do?- Peter Frampton
    (This is) The end ------ Doors
    November Rain -------- GNR
    War Pigs -------------- Sabbath
    Kashmir --------------- Led Zep
    Stairway to heaven ---- Led Zep
    Tubular Bells ----------- Mike Oldfield (48:53)
    LA Woman ------------- Doors
    Riders on the storm ----- Doors
    Freebird ---------------- Skynyrd
    Shine on you crazy diamond - Floyd (13:32)
    Won't Get Fooled Again -- the Who (8:33)
    Welcome to the Machine - Floyd (7:33)
    Time -------------------- Floyd (7:06)
    Echoes ------------------ Floyd (23:28)
    Layla -------------------- Derek & the Dominoes (7:05)
    Cowgirl in the Sand ------- Neil Young (10:06)
    Jungleland ---------------- Springsteen (9:33)
    Down by the River -------- Neil Young (9:16)
    Roundabout --------------- Yes (8:32)
    Hey Jude ------------------ Beatles
    Judy Blue Eyes ------------- Crosby, Stills & Nash
    Frankenstein --------------- Edgar Winter
    Hocus Pocus --------------- Focus
    Home by the Sea ----------- Genesis
    Stranglehold --------------- Ted Nuggent (8:23)
    One Bourban, One Scotch, One Beer - Thorogood (8:30)

    Any others that stand out for you?

          You've covered almost all I can think of that lasts that long and is rock.

          Trance would be a lot easier, but a hell of a lot harder to whittle down.

              Inna gadda da vida comes first to mind.

              My drunk wanna be a band neighbors used to sit outside and play Stairway To Heaven (very badly and they lost their place so it went on and on and on)at 3AM until we took to randomly shooting off a shotgun in the air.

              I live in a small Southern town so that was accepted behavior.

                      Grouchy Admin... you mentioned Trance.... I was trying to stay within Rock, but when I was digging my currently cluttered ADD head for a song, one of the first that popped in was ZOCALO -- Armin Van Buuren ---- I had an "long, eventful night/morning/afternoon/night" one time and swore it was the story of my life -- with no lyrics.

                            Here are 10. I tried to pick songs from different eras in rock. The Beatles' "Hey Jude" was the first single ever released with such a long running time, so it was only appropriate to start with them. They were the first to do pretty much everything in rock.
                            1. The Beatles - Hey Jude (1968) - 7:05
                            2. The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil (1968) - 6:27
                            3. Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused (1969) ? 6:26
                            4. Creedence Clearwater Revival - I Heard It Through The Grapevine (1970) - 11:07
                            5. Elton John - Someone Saved My Life Tonight (1975) - 6:45
                            6. The Who - Who Are You (1978) - 6:16
                            7. Golden Earring - Twilight Zone (1982) - 7:48
                            8. Radiohead - Paranoid Android (1997) - 6:23
                            9. The White Stripes - Ball And Biscuit (2003) - 7:19
                            10. Green Day - Jesus Of Suburbia (2004) - 9:08

                                  November Rain tops my "long song" list.

                                  I also like NOFX's "The Decline".

                                  Spend you some brain.

                                    "At War With Satan" by Venom. It took up the whole first side of the cassette. (yes, I said cassette) I believe it was just under 20 minutes long. Pretty cool tune that tells a story about angels battling Satan's army. I always kinda wished they would make a movie out of it.

                                    Anyway, for something less obscure, Metallica's "One" is pretty sweet. I believe it is just under 8 minutes. They always used to play the short version when they aired the music video on TV, which always pissed me off.

                                          Sweet choice.

                                          Another couple of great long songs from that same album are the title track "Bat out of Hell" ? 9:48

                                          and "For Crying Out Loud" ? 8:45

                                          The fat man loves his long songs.

                                                      A hot little blonde with a rocking body asked me to the first dance that year. :D

                                                                                                    Close. The runtime of the original track is only 5:48

                                                                                                    Although you could be thinkinng of the live version witch I believe was much longer.
