Spiritualized "Won't Get To Heaven"

One Million Billionth Of A Millisecond On A Sunday Morning by The Flaming Lips?
Beauty of a song. 9:25 long.
my favourite is
fucked up's 'year of the pig', which is 18 minutes and 38 seconds of epic punk rock perfection.
Bummer
My band has a song that's 18:31. I'm not happy about Fucked Up exceeding this by 7 seconds...
you should try to work in a few more seconds
with feedback at the end, or something. if it fits the song, of course.

but no-one's gone for 'Mogwai Fear Satan' which is
1) At least 16 minutes long
2) The best track they (or anyone else) have ever recorded.
There.

Good To Know That If I Ever Need Attention All I Have To Do Is Die
At 7m 0.2s

Pearl Jam
Even Flow (live) - July 9th '03, NY, NY official bootleg.
Phenomenal.
The version of Present Tense on that album is also sick.
Is it just me
that can be put off by the length of an album sometimes?
Sao Paulo is amazing though, yeah.
pitchforkmedia
had at least 4 tracks in their top tracks of 2007 that weighed in over 11minutes.
bro's and the past is a grotesque animal has been said. dan deacon's wham city starts off silent but still manages 10mins+ of greatness.
