Stairway to Heaven: Led Zep
Heavy Horses: Jethro Tull

the album version of American Pie is a long one, prefer Dire Straights though.
Or nothing else matters, live.

the album version of American Pie is a long one,
It's about 6minutes isn't it??
'O Superman' (Laurie Anderson) is around the 8'30" mark
Not too sure of the times of some of favourites
'Justice In Ontario' (Steve Earle) must be about 5'30" though??
-
Well, of course I should nominate Shine On You Crazy Diamond (17:32), but I'm gonna take a punt on Macarthur Park :) (6:25 in the Donna Summer single version) and Paranoid Android by Radiohead (6:23).
Worth an honourable mention is Matty Groves by Fairport Convention (8:09), Child of Vision by Supertramp (7:28 ), and Wouldn't It Be Good by Nik Kershaw (6:46 in the Extended 12" Mix).

Michael Jackson's Thriller , I think its about 12 mins long.

Michael Jackson's Thriller is a fourteen-minute music video released in December 1983 to support Michael Jackson's single "Thriller". Directed by John Landis, Thriller is often hailed as the best and most popular music video of all time. "Thriller", in essence, redefined the concept of music videos. It was the most expensive video of its time, costing $800,000  the equivalent of $1.4 million today. It also held the record for the world's longest music video, until it was beaten by Michael again in 1996, with his 35 minute, long-form music video, Ghosts.

Dont cry (orig) is track 4 (illusion 1) 4m44s (bit special to me + g/f)
:(biglove): (Track 4 theory- Track 4 is the best on the album)
Patience is 5m53s a classic but not really a driving song
-
Nantucket sleigh ride by Mountain
-
The Men They Couldn't Hang's cover of 'the green fields of France' about 8 mins long, saw them sing it live on friday, for around the 12th time, and still brings a tear to my eye...
otherwise.... Salva Mia by Faithless... the best Dance/ House record ever made...
or one of those epic Guns'n'Roses tracks...
...or Master of Puppets by Metallica...
...god, theres loads isn't there.... :roll:
-
:shock:"In-a Gadda-da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly is a full side of an LP, near enough 15 mins I believe...........it is a psych epic from the late '60's. "The Glorious Om Riff" over 7 mins - Steve Hillage, from the classic "Green" album, and the "Lemon Song" - Led Zeppelin 6 mins 19 seconds, amazing! I'm not really an old hippy!
-
Nice to see a mention for Steve Earle tho'.... Most people I know dont know who he is
I certainly do, I saw him live when he was on the promotional tour for 'Exit 0', a fantastic gig
He was on stage for about 4hours!!!!
Most memorable song??
He started singing (Springsteens) 'Racing in The Streets' & it segu-ed into 'Sweet Little 66'
Great!!!

I've still got the 12" of that & got to agree it is bl**dy wonderful
I remember John Peel playing it in one of his 'Festive 50s' & commenting along the lines of;
"It's the barely suppressed anger that makes it such a great track"

a recently discovered,
GEORGE THRORGOOD- ONE SCOTCH, ONE BOURBON, ONE BEER.

am a big fan of steve earle.... copperhead road is one of my favorite albums...
if you ever want rid of that 12" single of the green fields of france.. i'll have it... yuo should get out and see them sometime... 20 odd years and they still rock :D
-
Certainly agree with BTM on The Men They couldn't Hang's cover of green fields...
A fave of mine is / was 'Sister Ray' by Velvet Underground - a good 20 minutes worth
Plus, of course, any of the 'Floyd stuff previously mentioned
-
Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1 - Helloween
Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 2 - Helloween
Blood Fire Death - Bathory
Early Bathory stuff too.......
-
Rock stuff it'd have to be Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd or Kashmir by Led Zeppelin.
Failing that i'll bang on some quality dance tune of some sort :wink:
8)
-
Dire Straits, Telegraph Road
KiloMix (dont remeber his name)
Not sure about length but I'm pretty sure Tangerine Dream's Stratosfear is over 5 mins too. good motorway tune.
-
napalm death - scum
longest song in history ;)
-
What about the 12min version of Sex machine by James Brown.

Isn't that meant to be 'toon' :lol:
Not a driving track, but lights out, laying on the sofa, headphones on, glass of wine (or 3!) and Led Zep's Dazed and Confused (live). 26 minutes and a complete side of an album :D The one where Jimmy Page plays the guitar with a bow..... sounds like a cat screeching in isolation, but works sooo well in context.
-
At the moment it's Butterflies and Hurracanes by Muse, but only because Metallica's Heros of the Day falls short of the required 5 mins by a few seconds...
-
I have to agree with a couple of you with Bat Out Of Hell but I also like Paradise By the Dashboard light at about 8 minutes
-
napalm death - scum
lol..... I reckon I could listen to "You Suffer" er ... 300 times in 5 minutes..... <evil>
-
Driving track - dig out the album version of Kraftwerk's 'Autobahn' - a decent 20 minutes.
All I need to do now is work out how to get tape onto mp3
