What Is The Longest Song You Ever Heard?

[xemi]

My response: Jethro Tull - A Passion Play 44:58

Can anyone top that?

[chalice]

Can't top that unless you count classical.

Pink Floyd's Echoes comes in at about 23 minutes, I think. Time flies, though.

[xemi]

Good pick on the Floyd. Echoes is a great song.

P.S. Classical is ok, as long as all the movements are part of the same song. "concept albums" don't count.

[3rd gen noob]

i have a 30 minute canibus/dmx/noreaga freestyle

[Celerystalksme]

Any rap or r&b album...they go for about an hour and yeah it seems like a continuous song cause it all sounds the same...*IM JOKING*...

But yeah the jethro tull - a passion to play has to be the longest i actually sat through...its what happens when you live with musicians :)

[xemi]

It's actually refreshing to see rap do long play. There's nothing like a good, long rap (lyrically speaking...I couldn't care less how low the bass goes).

[pol]

Can anyone top that?

not with a song but an instrumental, jean michel jarre 'waiting for cousteau'

46'53
http://jarremidi.20m.com/cousteau.jpg update my account, haha http://www.chinkii.com/uploads/album/guys/J.jpg

edit - full cd is calypso - 8'23, calypso pt.2 - 7'10, calypso pt.3 - 6'29, waiting for cousteau - 46'53

[xemi]

Crap that's long!!

[pol]

ye its long but its good :D , it's definitely on kazaa btw

[j4y3m]

i just made on now called the longest song in the world does that count?.....its 5 hours long

[xemi]

I like Jarre, but sometimes he can be tough to sit through. I would rather see his live performance. I hear he puts on one hell of a show...I'm going to have to get that Cousteau song. You've sparked my curiosity.

I had this album when I was in Germany.

[xemi]

stupidguy, you are a true credit to your namesake. But at least you're trying.

[pol]

I like Jarre, but sometimes he can be tough to sit through.

maybe you shouldnt bother with that one then xemi :D , go for 'images'

http://www.artistdirect.com/Images/Sources/AMGCOVERS/music/cover200/drc800/c837/c8376666j8a.jpg

my fave on it is globetrotter

[Adster]

I would say the End by the Doors

[pol]

just thought i should add here i checked a kaz version of 'images' and its (the one i found anyways) full of duds

heres what should be on it

http://www.chinkii.com/uploads/album/guys/JMJimagesBACK.jpg

(wouldnt want anyone to have been put off with the duds)

and i challenge anyone to come up with a better way of spending 3.5 mins than listening to 'globetrotter'


(musically ;))

[backlash]

prolly some song from meatloaf...he loves to drag them out.

[Gemby!]

backlash !!! you have got me kitty ?!?!?!?! are you my twin ?? :o :o

and anything by westlife tends to be the longest song i have ever heard :P

[Cenobite]

Can't beat it but 'In the Garden of Eden' by Iron Butterfly is a top tune at 17 mins(ish)

[Gutter]

Longest song I've heard was NOFX - The Decline but that only lasts 18 minutes
Nothing near the songs listed above
I have had a few 1 track, full CD (80min) But those were live shows.

[mogadishu]

Echoes pink floyd.. also, the first cd of the wall is pretty much continous. so thats like 60+ minuts. im not sure

Track 6 - Supper&#39;s Ready 22:52 minutes

[sparsely]

The longest song I know of off the top of my head is Initial D - Non Stop Megamix, at 1 hour 12min 14sec.
The longest song ever recorded, if my memory serves me correctly, is a Native American tune of some sort...

[Spider_dude]

a friend had a song by that shite called dream theatre and it was 27 minutes long.

[sparsely]

I don&#39;t understand what you mean exactly...but Alice&#39;s Restaurant is not 45 mins. long. I&#39;m looking at it
in Windows Explorer right now.

[LaVaNaNo]

and then the other mega mix is 79 minuttes and 57 seconds and it is called Depeche Mode - in the mix.
