In Praise of the Long Song

cd

I discovered this Rolling Stone list after Fameone linked to it.  It's the 50 best songs over 7 minutes long, and it's got me thinking...

What are my favourite songs over nine minutes in length?  Here are my top ten.

  • In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida - Iron Butterfly (17:02)
  • The End - The Doors (11:44)
  • Xanadu - Rush (11:07)
  • Cowgirl In The Sand - Neil Young (10:08)
  • Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd (10:08)
  • All I Want Is You - U2 (9:52)
  • Born Slippy - Underworld (9:45)
  • Down By The River - Neil Young (9:20)
  • Jesus Of Suburbia - Green Day (9:08)
  • Tainted Love - Soft Cell (9:01)
