Longest song you know of?
Ok, since there's a thread about longest Intro's in a song, how about a longest SONG thread?
I could put up a few but the longest that springs to mind right now is the album version of "I'd Do Anything For Love by Meatloaf at 11:59". then there's " Come by Prince" at 11:13. Anyone? |

Just seen this:
"The Devil Glitch" by Chris Butler, 69-minute song that contains over 500 verses, has been acknowledged by the Guinness Book of World Records to be the "World's Longest Pop Song". ![]() ![]()

I'm pretty sure the longest song I own is In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly, at 17.05.
Although come to think of it, Shine on You Crazy Diamond just pips that at 17.33! |

I think all my longest songs are by Dream Theater.
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence is technically 1 song and clocks in at 42:04, although it is split into 8 parts. After that it is Octavarium at 24:00, A Change of Seasons at 23:09 and The Count of Tuscany at 19:16. |

Some of the early Dark Side of The Moog albums by Klaus Shultz and Pete Namlook consist of one song in six or seven parts and clock in at about 50 minutes.
Then of course there's Kraftwerks Autobahn, side one is 25 minutes of a single track. |

Some Miles Davis tracks are very long indeed. The 2 on "Pangea" are 41 & 46 minutes, but I don't know if jazz counts as songs.

Off the top of my head I can only think of Jesus of Suburbia (Greenday) and Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen) that are long, both around the 8/9 minute mark I think...

Off the top of my head, I think the longest song I've got on this computer is the first track from Nightwish's 'Dark Passion Play' album "The Poet And The Pendulum" clocks in at 13:54.
Although after checking with Windows Media Player, Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" tops my list at 17:32... I never even listen to it though! |
