What is Your Favourite Song that is Over Fifteen Minutes Long?

[GameOverGoblin]

The longest song that I actually like and listen to a lot is Achilles Last Stand by Led Zeppelin, which is 10:23 long.

 

[firewire7]

Anything by Dream Theater. My favorite is "Octavarium", but they have six songs over fifteen, and many, many more right in the eleven to fourteen minute range. Nobody's mentioned "In the Name of God" or "A Nightmare to Remember", both of which are awesome, or "The Count of Tuscany" is pretty good as well. In terms of length, though, nothing beats "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence", which clocks in at a mind-raping forty-two minutes, three seconds of straight-up awesome. It's a whole damn CD by itself.

IN A GADDA DA EVA

I thought this was kind of nifty. First half of Dream Theatre's "A Change of Seasons"

 

[Amarok]

Mike Oldfield, Hergest Ridge, the original Vinyl version (the CD version cuts out a lot of layers for the sake of a crisper sound... bah).

 

[SimuLord]

Ninth Symphony - Ludwig von Beethoven.

 

[Arsen]

I will speak one that is a little under fifteen. Okay well...two actually.

Opeth - In the Mist She Was Standing, The Apostle in Triumph

 

[googleit6]

I'm going to have to say the Exogenesis series by Muse, even though it is three separate songs. I don't know any other long songs except certain classical music that I can't name off the top of my head.

Not sure if it's over 15 minutes, but...

Weird Al - Albquerque

 

[IslandManJack]

For me it has to be "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" by Pink Flooyd

 

[atombeast707]

I don't have a favorite song that is 15+ minutes long.

The longest song I listen to is about 13 minutes. It's called "The Poet and the Pendulum", and it's by Nightwish

Damn you beat me to it. Anyways that was my answer as well. I love that song, but Ghost Love Score is really good also and its 10:00 long.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by iron butterfly

 

[Eyelicker]

This is a rather abstract question.

Next week: What is your favorite song over 16 minutes?

 

[Aux]

I really enjoy music, but I find once songs start getting to the ten minute mark that things just get repetitive and boring. Probably a good chunk of the reason why I am not a huge fan of Tool.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

I by Meshuggah. Or any of the super long Dream Theater.

 

[Nadlice]

My vote is split between Black Rose Immortal by Opeth (already mentioned), Terapin Station by the Grateful Dead (already mentioned), and Dopethrone by Electric Wizard.

I'm proud that I was not the first person to say two of these.
