Cos the answer could be in your mind
Maybe one cut and we’ll find
We’re just a wavelength behind

But we are entwined

Harvest of Souls - IQ (Dark Matter) is a must.
The Narrow Margin - IQ (Subterranea) is breathtaking, but it's a concept album and needs to be listened to in its entirety.
The Last Human Gateway - IQ (Tales From the Lush Attic) it's 19.57 to be exact but so good it doesn't matter.
Eruption - Focus (Focus II or Moving Waves) is magnificent.
Hamburger Concerto - Focus (Hamburger Concerto) is excellent.

.......

A few more I thought of:

Univers Zero - La Faulx (25:18)
Gerard Manset "La Mort D'Orion" (24:28)
Ash Ra Tempel "Traummaschine" (25:24)
Bubu "El Cortejo de un Día Amarillo" (19:25) Yes, not quite, but a good long one. never-the-less.
Herbie Hancock "Sleeping Giant" (24:48).
Earth and Fire "Song of the Marching Children" (18:20) Thought about mentioning this before even though its under 19 minutes, but I find this too good not to mention.

And then there are a tonne of long electronic instrumentals, such as by Tangerine Dream and lesser known ones, and electric jazz acts.

Well, why not Chupacabras (22 mn) by Phideaux ? Wink

And for me, the best suite of 2019: The Tea Club - Creature (27 mn).

Matthew Parmenter (the leader of Discipline): Modern Times (21 mn) (if you like VDGG).

Partially to be awkward, I wrote a 37 minute long Krautrock song on my second album back in 2014. 

Now I'm not quite sure why I did it. I'd written 17 minute songs before, this one just grew and grew into a kind of symphony. I try to avoid doing massively long songs now, to be honest. I wasn't particularly bothered about being awkward or making it impossible to play on radio, it was just an enormous one off. ;-)

I suppose some people replying to the thread will say "why write a long piece ? " to which the answer is "why not, it's art, no rules other than the ones you choose to follow."

Anyway, here it is, somewhat Teutonically. ;-)

Thanks you all in advance for your wise advices!

"Close to the Edge" and "Flight" are actually shorter than 20 minutes.

"Echoes" by Pink Floyd is surprisingly not on your list.



how about "Gravedigger" by Janus?



or "Meurglys III - The Songwriter's Guild" by Van der Graaf Generator?


"only" 18:20, but you may like it: "Sommerabend" by Novalis



or how about "Rockpommels Land" by Grobschnitt?


or "Sunrise" by Sahara?


or "Bel Air" by Can?

^ Be nice to bookmark that, could be a useful tool for me for fairly quickly finding 20 minutes plus tracks that I know to recommend in future topics such as this. Such resources/ long lists I like. For instance, I had meant to mention Ash Ra Tempel's "Traummaschine" but forgot and ended up making a second list. Had I perused your list even quickly I would have added it, and I would have spent less time looking though music I know and love (that I know and love it of course doesn't necessarily mean that the OP looking for recommendations will like it, though, and when possible I like to fine-tune mt recs to that persons tastes -- even if not to my taste). I commonly try not to make my lists really long in such topics as this that can get overwhelming for the OP, and can put the person off attempting to listen through the tracks mentioned in the thread, let alone comment on the choices.

By the way, I wish it were easier to compile the choices in topics such as this, and one always seems to get some repetition of choices. Bound to happen since such posts can take time to prepare and others get in while one is researching and composing one's post -- ergo more repetition as one hadn't the chance to read through other responses. If more than one person mention the same, that can be added reason to make that particular choice more of a priority to check out.

Such lists are great, keep up the good work! I need to start making more use of them, and maybe make some of my own (although I often use RYM as a   resource, I've been a bit intimidated somehow to get started contributing to the site). I have found a lot of great music through such lists at RYM.

I've http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=121304&PID=5695779#5695779" rel="nofollow - defended RYM here before , as with any good site, to use it as a useful resource, there is something of learning curve, and I consider the "lists" to be one of its greatest features. I have not used those enough, mostly come across them in google searches, like when I was looking up acid folk music.

Outstanding list and likely one of the best "progressive" listening lists altogether.

Only thing missing in there, is ... Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze ... can't seem to live without them!

I would argue that such artists should have their own, isolated lists. In ambient music time is taken differently and long songs usually have nothing to do with "epicness" of prog "epics".

siLLY puPPy: you need to add Anonymus II by Focus off Focus 3. Yes, on the LP it comes in two parts with part 1 falling just short of 20 min and you had to flip the LP to listen to the end of the track or "Anonymus II (conclusion)". However, on all CD releases of the album Anonymus II is one continuous track; clocking in at 26:24.
Cheers

I decided not to add progressive electronic artists. This list is strictly for progressive music that has rock aspects. Some of Tangerine Dream's stuff could qualify as rock but none are over 20 minutes that i know of. Schulze doesn't have any rock that i know of. Both artists have more albums than i'll ever hear!

From the list you wrote.
From Yes, there's also The Revealing Science of God, The Gates of Delirium, Awaken (though that's "only" about 15 min, stretching to about 18 on live versions), Endless Dream (also only 15 min), and Mind Drive.
From Pink Floyd, there's also Echoes, the whole Shine on you Crazy Diamond suite, and Dogs (though only about 17 min).
From Mike Oldfield, the other 70's albums (Hergest Ridge and Incantations, plus the new Return to Ommadawn... and I guess many other albums could be considered as single pieces of music, like Songs from Distant Earth).
From Renaissance, the live version of Ashes are Burning is stretched into 24 min, and it's awsome.
Besides those ones, a few otheres that come to my mind are:
In-A-Gadda-da-Vida, from Iron Butterfly (only 17 min, though, and more hard rock than prog).
In held ('twas) in I, from Procol Harum, though the version that I know and like is the one from Transatlantic.
YS Introduzione and Primo Incontro, from Il Balleto di Bronzo, both songs flow together and last nearly 19 min.
All the Seats were Occupied, from Aprhodite's Child.
Hamburger Concerto, from Focus.
Histoires sans Parole, from Harmonium (though only 17 min too).
Octavarium, from Dream Theater.
The Sky Moves Sideways, from Porcupine Tree.
The Whirlwind, from Transatlantic (the whole album).
The Final Breath Before November, from Edison's Children (just about the whole album too).
Raider II, from Steven Wilson.
El Puente, from Cast (18 min).
Empire of the Clouds, from Iron Maiden (18 min).

^ if you're talking about my list, the cutoff point was 20 minutes. I added tracks in the 19 minute range as NEAR MISSES. If i extended to 15 minutes or something it would be huuuuuuuuuuge. 20 minutes was the cutoff point because that was roughly the length of a side of vinyl during the classic era

It's worth remarking that sometimes a single piece of music is divided into multiple tracks on the CD. For example, Sebastian Hardie - Four Moments - Four Moments is divided into four tracks on the CD I have, totalling 20:41. Another example, Jean-Luc Ponty - Imaginary Voyage - Imaginary Voyage is also divided into four tracks on the CD I have, totalling 19:54.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

^ yeah sometimes it's hard to tell what's really a track or a series of tracks disguised as one.

I'm simply going by what the album says. If it says one track that is a track

^ In the case of Four Moments and Imaginary Voyage, the track names are suffixed with Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4, so it's obviously one piece of music. But in the case of The Death Defying Unicorn, it's only when one listens to it that it becomes clear that it's one piece of music (even if it's split over 2 CDs).

Also, so far I have released 3 symphonic prog rock songs that are over 20 minutes long.
Track 3 and 4 of https://czyszy.bandcamp.com/album/epic-may" rel="nofollow - Epic May and https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/880393" rel="nofollow - Walking the Wavelength , the single track EP. I recorded these in sub-par conditions in my bedroom. ;p Hopefully you'll enjoy 'em.

A lot of my recommendations are mentioned already. If these tracks are already mentioned, I apologise.

Australian band Southern Empire's two albums each have a "mega-epic" on them. The Bridge That Binds (28:24) and Crossroads (29:12). Both are wonderful compositions, with powerful vocals.

Sorry, it's just my own list, and in the end I didn't pay so much attention at what had already been recommended (I did try, but didn't go out of my way to remember everything that had already been mentioned). However, I did have in mind that what was being asked was about over 20 min songs, but I did love some that didn't really get to that length, so I did make sure to specify those cases.

In '75 a lot of countries didn't exist offically and some who did do not anymore…
 
Believe me the peoples in Yugoslavia didn't really feel like one people...

Another concept album, though it is split into several tracks, is actually a single piece of music, is Nektar - Journey To The Centre Of The Eye.

I would recommend the "Transatlantic" cataloque.  Many of the their songs are 30 minutes or more.
