What's the longest song you've ever listened to?

[Ika]

For me it's Avenged Sevenfold - Strength of the World.

9:14 of cheesy goodness. I also listen to it regularly; so far I've clocked over 100 listens.

Pretty much any rap, hip-hop, or country song. At least it feels like it.

 

[BlueFlamme]

Are you talking about live or CD?

From CD would probably be Shine On You Crazy Diamond, 26min 5sec.

Live would be Phish due to massime jam sessions, would have to check the length from my recordings at home, pretty sure near 34 minutes except it might have portions of other songs blended in before they return to the one they started with.

yah thats definitely the longest.

unless you count Armin Van Buuren State of Trance mixes ... 2 hours of non stoop music , but it's just a bunch of songs mixed together.

Kickarse song! Definately one of my favs on the new album - it's so epic.

The longest song I've ever listened to was by Dream Theater, called Octavarium. I think it was like 24 minutes long. Cool stuff.

 

[broon]

One is Beethoven's 9th. Over 25 minutes.

 

[theNEOone]

from the soundtrack of gladiator:

barbarian horde, 10+ minutes


=|

 

[pontifex]

42:02

Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence by Dream Theater.

 

[LordMorpheus]

I've been to concerts with songs >1 hour.

I've listened to recording of songs in teh 30 minute range. If the band can stay interesting for that long, they know what they're about.

 

[ShadowOfMyself]

Green carnation - Light of day, day of darkness... 60:05

A hell of a song also

 

[UglyCasanova]

Just about all Godspeed You! Black Emperor songs are 25 - 30 minutes ish. Then I got many, many songs from various groups that are between say the 10 - 15 minute mark.

 

[Ika]

I guess I'm getting owned in the length department. I've probably listened to longer songs but this one stands out the most, since I've listened to it so much.

 

[aircooled]

Iron Maiden has a few 13 - 14 minute ones that are a good listen.

Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner and Hallowed by thy name, are both good.

 

[iamwiz82]

The Box by Orbital is just over 28 minutes long.

Lustmord - The Place Where the Black Stars Hang (75:48).

 

[2Dead]

Lambchops Play along - "This is the song that doesn't end. Yes it goes on and on my friend. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was. And they kep on singing it just because.. This is the song that doesn't end. Yes it goes on ....."

I never actually finished it.

is it 75 minutes of playing or like 10 minutes of playing and 65 minutes of silence and then like 15 seconds of something else? i hate when bands do that.

 

[shortylickens]

A classical piece but I forget the name. Goes on for about 25 mintutes.
The only one I can remember is Iron Butterfly's. 17 minutes, 1 second (at least the version I have).

EDIT: The rest of the top five.
Purple Rain - 8:40
Call on me - 7:59
Clubbed to death - 7:30
Rollin (Urban Assault Vehicle) - 6:25
