Long Songs- Your Favorites

[the mini mole]

Listening to some Led Zep this evening I realised they have quite a few fantastic long songs. So what are your favorite long songs (say 5mins +)

Mine has to be:
No Quarter- Led Zep

[Funk]

'Again' by Archive, 'Hyperventilate' by Frost* and most stuff by Dream Theater!

It was probably me! One of my friends played the harmonica on that track and he toured with them in Europe. A very, very underrated band - I'm staggered they're not huge. I'm sure it's clear, but they cite Pink Floyd as a major influence..

Even better, this one's the complete 15-minute version and live to boot..

[jesusbuiltmycar]

Some of my favorite long songs...
Three Days - Jane's Addiction (one of the best guitar solos ever IMHO)...
Cicatriz Esp - The Mars Volta
Third Eye / Aenima / Lateralus / Rosetta Stones - Tool
Kashmir - Led Zep

[Asterix]

Frampton - Do You Feel - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7rFYbMhcG8
Loads of Zep and Floyd songs - I listen to quite a lot of prog and folk as well so there's always a few there.

The longest song we did, my old band, went on for at least 15 minutes live - think the album version was just over 9 mins - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waZGDqepXz8

If you dig a bit of flute, give it a listen.

Good call on "November Rain"

Octavarium by Dream Theater

[doogalman]

I like to turn the volume up and get totally blown away by Echoes (Pink Floyd).
Any versian is a great way to kill 25 minutes or there abouts..
