        The thing is if a song is TOO long then it loses its impact. Anywho this thread got my wondering so I checked for the longest song in Marvin Gaye's career and I BELIEVE it's "got to give it up" the full disco version which clocks in at nearly 13 minutes.

          Layla, Eric Clapton/Derek and the Dominos
          Shine On You Crazy Diamonds, Pink Floyd
          Echoes, Pink Floyd
          Twilight Zone, Golden Earring
          November Rain, Guns and Roses
          I don't think any of those songs reaches 10 minutes except for "Shine on You Crazy Diamond." Those are short compared to some.

          Try these:

          "In A Gadda Da Vita," Iron Butterfly (17 minutes)
          "Starship Troopers," Yes (13 minutes)
          "Close to the Edge," Yes (14 minutes)
          "Do You Feel Like I Do?" Peter Frampton, live (13 minutes)
          "Saddle Tramp," Charlie Daniels Band (12 minutes)
          "The End," The Doors (11 minutes)
          "When The Music's Over," The Doors (12 minutes)

          Take care,

            No offense pk, because I honestly do respect your opinion very much. But why do you always shoot me down in flames? Shine On You Crazy Diamonds is nearly 30 minutes long. HA! I beat all your songs j/k it's all good pk. Just wanted to take a jab at ya. Peace.
            How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year. Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

                Haha, but you really have to wonder if you can even count that as a song. It's just storytelling (no singing) w/ music in the background.

                  The chorus, "You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant," is sung. Very little is sung, but it's sung!

                    I'm not shooting you down in flames, man! The only song on your list that's longer than "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vita" is "Echoes," which is 23:27. "In-A-Gadda" is 17:05.

                    Here's the length of the other songs on your list:

                    "Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Part 1-5" -- 13:40
                    "Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Part 6-9" -- 12:31
                    "Twilight Zone" -- 7:58
                    "Layla" -- 7:02 (Derek and Dominoes studio version)
                    "November Rain" -- 8:59

                    The two parts of "Shine On" are separated by three songs on the "Wish You Were Here" album, so you can't really call them one song.

                        Shine On is only split because of album issues. i belive initally roger waters wanted shine on on one entire side of an album (and the other songs on the other side). echoes is split in the pompeii version, so you know they wrote that entire song before they decided whether or not to split it.

                          Miles Davis' Bitches Brew album is full of long songs, everyone of them average 10-12 minutes, except for John McLaughlin which is only 4:22.

                          Bitches Brew 26:58
                          Pharoah's Dance 20:05
                          Spanish Key 17:32
                          Miles Runs The Voodoo Down 14:01
                          Feio 11:49
                          Sanctuary 10:56

                          I believe there is a version of The Temptations "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" which clocks at over 30:00.

                            Gordon Lightfoot---Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald. Extended fishermans version. It's a gloom-laden six minute-plus epic that seems like 6 hours.
                            NFL:Packers
                            MLB:Reds/Tigers
                            NHL:Red Wings
                            NCAA:Michigan Wolverines.
                            F-1: Ferrari.

                            It's been a while OS. Hope all are doing well!
