I just heard "Master of Puppets" the other night and was thinking, "DAMN, this song is long!" It's cool, though, because it doesn't feel like a long song. I was too busy pumping my head up and down and jamming on the air guitar, the song could have lasted for 20 more minutes and it wouldn't have mattered... What are your favorite long songs? To avoid confusion, I'll say "long" is at least 6 minutes. A few of my favorites: Master of Puppets (obviously) One (another Metallica classic) November Rain - Guns N Roses American Pie - Don McLean Albuquerque - Weird Al Yankovic (a song only Weird Al fans could appreciate) The Humpty Dance - Digital Underground I'm sure there are more...
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zep Light My Fire - The Doors Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd Hey Jude - The Beatles
I can only think of these few off the top of my head: guns 'n roses - november rain guns 'n roses - sweet child o mine metallica - one metallica - ...and justice for all metallica - master of puppets (basically the whole album consists of great songs at around 6 minutes or longer) Bob Marley - Exodus Eagles - Hotel California
steve_francis -- i guess it's all up to the listener...but is Hotel California a love song??? i thought it was about hell and/or drug addiction. My favorites: Fields of Gold by Sting Crush and Lover Lay Down by DMB and i'm sure there are lots of others i can't think of right now!
ok...i could edit this...but it's just too funny to laugh at myself.....i just realized you asked for favorite LONG songs!!!!! not LOVE songs!!! i'll go back to my hole now... sorry, steve_francis!!!
How Soon Is Now? -- The Smiths Paranoid Android -- Radiohead Throught The Eyes Of Ruby -- Smashing Pumpkins Sultans Of Swing -- Dire Straits Free Bird -- Lynyrd Skynyrd Foreplay/Long Time -- Boston I Heard You Looking -- Yo La Tengo Hjartað Hamast -- Sigur Rós P.S. One of the songs I listed is only 5:46. Sorry!
All time worst long song? Freebird, if only cause it is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo damn overplayed. All time best long song? Three way tie for me between: Idiot Wind - Bob Dylan It's All Right Ma, I'm Only Bleeding - Bob Dylan Visions of Johanna - Bob Dylan. Oh, and Desolation Row - Bob Dylan. Guess it's a 4 way tie then. Oh, and MadMax: LOL.
Three Days - Janes Addiction Is it just me or does Yao Ming look like Morrissey from The Smiths at certain angles?
take out the bob marley and that's my list. also, 2Pac - California Love Boys 2 Men - End of the Road Notorious BIG/Bone Thug's N' Harmony - Notorious Thugs could someone translate bob dylan for me?
dylan, You didn't mention <i>Hurricane</i>. ------------------------------------------------ Humble Pie <i>I Don't Need No Doctor </i> Jimi Hendrix did a live cover of <i>Gloria</i> that probably qualifies......but I am unsure of the run time. Finn* knows the answer. Black Sabbath <i>War Pigs N.I.B. Fairies Wear Boots Iron Man Black Sabbath <i> Mango
