Reflections in Suspension by Steve Roach. It is Transcendental music and the track is 16 minutes long and very relaxing.
 
My top 4 long songs:

Song of Scheherazade by Renaissance-24:39

The Gates of Delirium by Yes-21:50

2112 by Rush-20:38

Octavarium by Dream Theater-24:00

Guess I’m an incurable progger…

Perhaps not so many people ENJOY listening to that one … Not that I’d know, never heard it in my life.

The only thing I know about meatloaf is that it is one of my favorite foods.👍

Years ago there was a DJ I listened to every night. He would take requests for “three-peats,” which were three songs by your favorite band. Occasionally he’d let people request themed three-peats, which were three songs of a similar theme by different bands. I spent months calling in requesting a three-peat of the three longest songs I could think of (In a Gadda da Vida (17 min), Stairway to Heaven live (13 min), and the live version of The End by The Doors (17 min)). He always turned me down, right up until the night he was unexpectedly told that it was to be his last night. Most of his last hour as a DJ for that station was spent playing my three songs for 47 minutes of commercial-free, uninterrupted music. It was pretty cool. He got a nasty call from the program manager halfway through but there wasn’t anything they could do to punish him at that point.

So much win. There are two DJs here who not so long ago moved station from BBC Radio 2 to 6 Music (still BBC). One of the provisos of them doing this was that they were to be allowed to play whatever they wanted, and the BBC agreed. So one afternoon, they played the full 23 min long version of Pink Floyd’s Echoes. It was epic.
 
Mine aren’t that long…:eek:

Aqueous Transmission - Incubus (7:46)
Last Call to New York City - Elliot Minor (6:02)
The Broken Minor - Elliot Minor (5:46) <---- I LOVE this one

Oops I nearly forgot “Skrillex Orchestral Suite” by Varien (6:54) a very beautiful song.

No mention of “Paradise by the Dashboard Lights” by Meatloaf? 😉

LOL, this just came on Sirius/XM’s Red, White, & Booze channel, the ultimate dance song at any wedding reception 😃
 
I met a guy in college who said that he hadn’t heard a song over 7 minutes long that he did not like. 😃 I feel somewhat similarly. My three favorite long songs are A Change of Seasons (Dream Theater), Mirror of Souls (Theocracy) and The Odyssey (Symphony X) – all of which clock in at 23-24 minutes. I know DT has some longer songs that I also like, but ACoS will always be my favorite and the one I’m most inclined to listen to over and over again.

It’s been awhile since I have listened to Fates Warning’s “A Pleasant Shade of Grey” (which is about 55 minutes long). This thread makes me want to give that one a listen. 🙂
 
“Sister Ray” by Velvet Underground ~17 minutes

“Desolation Row” by Bob Dylan ~11 minutes

This is primarily to see if anyone can beat my personal record for long songs, and especially what I’ve got on my iPod. 😃

As per the title, what’s the longest single song you enjoy listening to?

Being a progressive rock musician, my personal favourite is Mike Oldfield’s Amarok, which is an hour long.

Bed of Roses for 6 and a half minutes. 😃
