For songs above 60+ i would go with the second Green Carnation (LOD,DOD). When I bought the CD in 2003, i freaked out when I saw just a single 60' 06" song ( given that fast-forward was a nightmare in the pre-mp3 eras, so I could not handle and spin easily favourite parts of the song) "The Girl..who was death" by devil doll is weird ~70 min but has a long silence break Also some ambient/black metal projects like 'Darkspace' have notoriously long songs (in parts), like the 76 min. Darkspace I EDIT: I forgot some nice projects of Fredrick Thordendal (Meshuggah) in. "Special Defects".Also an hour piece long or something.

There's a specific version of Runaway Jim by Phish that I have that is over 60 minutes long. Thats the longest single track I believe I've listened to....maybe I've heard an ambient track that was longer, but according to earlier posts that isn't a song.

Not counting classical music, I think it might be Fantomas' "Delirium Cordia" at 75 minutes.

I prefer to call them 'pieces' once they get beyond a certain length, usually around 15-20 minutes.
And on the subject of The Whirlwind, the new live version of that piece is one single track lasting 79:52, which must mean that the band consider it to be one single piece of music. Same goes with The Incident, Garden of Dreams and Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. The only reason they split them is for ease, so you don't have to scroll through the disc if you want to hear a particular section.
That is the difference, imo, between a 'track' and a 'song' or 'piece'. Classical symphonies are split into movements, usually with one CD track per movement, but they are still considered one single, unified piece of music.

So I'll bring up Beethoven's 9th. About 66 minutes long. There are vocals in Movement IV.

Brian Eno has a piece that lasts 10,000 years without repeating.
I haven't listened to it all (!), but there is a short extract available on CD:

Out of all the prog on my iPod, Led Zeppelin's Dazed and Confused (The Song Remains the Same version) is the longest single mp3 at 29:18. Looking at my classical music, Olivier Messiaen's La Transfiguration De Notre Seigneur Jesus Christ is the longest piece I have (including all movements) at 1.6 hours.

"by by miss american pie" - seems like the longest song in the history of recorded music.

I heard that some guy from The Netherlands, who has 12 different bands and projects, has made one song doom\metal album lasting about 78 minutes, but it might have been a myth...
It's called something like beyond black void all that was the some guy but the different proj...

What about Stockhausen's "Licht" cycle. It is about 29 hours long.... He wrote 25 years on it.
