The best "long" songs

[big gaz]

Jesus of suburbia - Green day gets in, love this song especially live.

Not 10 minutes, so just play it twice. This is what happens when the drugs do work!

Many, many many watches on you tube, everything Carlos did round that time was great. What a guy.

The studio version is 8 1/2 minutes, but this one gets over 10 mins . . . my wife is from near where he's from (Wilmington, Delaware) and this is a goddamn fucking anthem there.

I’m with you on this one.

Missed this. First heard it as the theme to Big Little Lies and my son recommended giving him a listen. Just think everything about it is great - backing singers, keyboards, drums and obviously the singer himself.

10 mins+

Go.

Rappers delight 40 years old and so fresh. Loved it when it came out, so many samples after........

Try the album. Love & Hate.
I downloaded it after Big Little Lies also.
Very very good.
One of those that grows on you the more you listen.

 

[Two Gun Bob]

Musical Box: How incredible can a band be with each participant playing an absolute peaky blinder of a masterclass and possibly my favourite music video of all time. Has to be Genesis at their very best and beautifully restored by the amazing Tommygun:

And the nurse will tell you lies
Of a kingdom beyond the skies.
But I am lost within this half-world,
It hardly seems to matter now.



Hackett for Pope:

Had a listen of this last night. I get what you mean about it being a grower. - a bit left field for me but thanks for the tip.

Brilliant.

Anything by Big Big Train. If you you are an old Genesis fan tune in.

 

[OB1]

Wonderful song but a bit short for this thread as it is a mini epic.

 

[tamworthblue]

Bit left field this one...almost 10 mins.

Saw them live circa 1980. Two lead guitarists (Stewart and Lickerish) I think.

 

[Ballymagash Blue]

Brownsville Girl - Dylan

 

[tamworthblue]

What about this classic from the lads?

Went bust ferrying the orchestra around North America!

 

[tamworthblue]

And another...

 

[tamworthblue]

One last one...Steve never plays the same refrain/note sequence twice...very rare for a guitarist/songwriter.

[tamworthblue]

Just to prove a point!
