Best 10+ minute rock songs

[Precious Roy]

that don't involve tons of aimless jamming

I nominate

roy harper. the same old rock

so fucking epic. just acoustic guitar and vocals, but it never drags for a second, and builds to an incredible finale

 

[Byron The Bulb]

Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell (From "Bat Out Of Hell - Original Tour")

 

[Byron The Bulb]

JOANNA NEWSOM - Emily

 

[Precious Roy]

I was going to nominate In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, but I was shocked to find out it clocks in under 7 minutes. They stretch it out longer live

In fact, there is only one song on the Allman Bros' first 4 studio albums that is over 10 minutes, Mountain Jam at a ridiculous 33:38

 

[Sesquipedaliantique]

Public Image Ltd. - Albatross

 

[BUTT]

Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell (From "Bat Out Of Hell - Original Tour")

The album version of this song clocks in at about 9:50, so I'm not sure if it qualifies. Still, I'm glad you posted it.

I know I'll get killed for posting anything by this band, but what do I care.

Guns N' Roses-Coma

 

[Precious Roy]

Guns N Roses is pretty much my favorite band ever, and that is pretty much my favorite song ever

Estranged is so close to being a 10 minute song. I'm disappointed in Axel for not going over the precipice on that one

 

[Precious Roy]

I overlooked the clear winner

Television - Marquee Moon

 

[C Dubya 09]

I thought the same thing with Liz Reed when I saw this thread that I was going to post that without even checking.

So I'll go with Desolation Row or Pink Floyd's Dogs.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

A couple personal favorites

Kamelot - Elizabeth

Epica - Kingdom Of Heaven (A New Age Dawns - Part V)

 

[Agent of Oblivion]

Station to Station, duh.

 

[Byron The Bulb]

Oh yeah

 

[Sex Machine Gun]

Present favorite: Of Montreal - "The Past is a Grotesque Animal."

 

[DMann1979]

Don't have time to post links, but how about CCR's cover of I Heard it Through the Grapevine?

...And Justice for All just misses the mark by about 15 seconds.

 

[Cheech]

Achilles Last Stand - Led Zeppelin
Child in Time - Deep Purple
Machine Gun - Jimi Hendrix
Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands - Bob Dylan
Sister Ray - Velvet Underground
Echoes - Pink Floyd

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Disillusion - "Back to Times of Splendor" (part 1)
Disillusion - "Back to Times of Splendor" (part 2)

Let it be noted that this is one song, but it's only available in two parts on YouTube.

 

[FLAM]

Present favorite: Of Montreal - "The Past is a Grotesque Animal."

Yeah. For sure. Seeing that live was a great experience too.


Staying Alive by Cursive is pretty darn good.

 

[Precious Roy]

Achilles Last Stand - Led Zeppelin
Child in Time - Deep Purple
Machine Gun - Jimi Hendrix
Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands - Bob Dylan
Sister Ray - Velvet Underground
Echoes - Pink Floyd

nice ones!

 

[bps21]

Guns N Roses is pretty much my favorite band ever, and that is pretty much my favorite song ever

Same

Coma fucking rules.

 

[Smartly Pretty]

Titus Andronicus - The Battle of Hampton Roads [Part 1 of 2] - (3.8.10)

Titus Andronicus - The Battle of Hampton Roads [Part 2 of 2] - (3.8.10)

Hard to argue with Byron's choice of "Emily" though. That song rules.

 

[Red Baron]

Genesis Suppers Ready

 

[skullman80]

Yeah yeah I know it's off Load, but it's still an awesome song. One of Metallica's best on any album, IMO.

There. Fixed.

Dream Theater - Learning to Live ⓛⓨⓡⓘⓒⓢ

I know, I know... but its actually a good song.

 

[alkeiper]

Clearly we're missing the genius that is Weird Al's Albuquerque.
