One that hasn't been said so far : Rush - 2112 :)

Dream Theater has a few ones : Count Of Tuscany (19mins) A Change Of Seasons (23mins) Octovarium (24mins) In The Presence Of Ennemies (Pt.1 & 2) and SDOIT (42 mins, Thouth it could be considered 8 differents songs)

Green Carnation did a one hour song, but I find it incredible boring : Light Of Day, Day of Darkness

Three Minute Warning, more of a recorded long jam then anything else

The Mars Volta also recorded a 20+ mins Jam in their live album.

Redemption has many of them too : Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Fullness Of Time, Desperation.

Transatlantic : Stranger In Your Soul, All Of The Above, Duel With The Devil.

You could try the last two Magic Pie albums - both have epics and they're excellent!
 
Babares by Nemo has already been mentioned and i endorse that but their new album has one too called Loins Des Yeux which might just be even better.
 
Also try Singring And The Glass Guitar - Utopia
 
Not to everyone's tastes but I love it! - Suite Per Il Sig. K - Jumbo

Lots of good stuff mentioned here.
 
I'd suggest these as the first three you should hear.
 
Mike Oldfield - Amarok
Genesis - Supper's Ready
Transatlantic - Duel with the Devil
 
The Flower Kings - I am the Sun would be on here but it's split into two parts.

Hmmm... most of my favorites have probably already been mentioned, but I don't suppose it would hurt to repeat them: 
"The Underfall Yard" by Big Big Train
"Hamburger Concerto" by Focus (my all time favorite song)
"Milliontown" by Frost*
"Atom Heart Mother" by Pink Floyd
"I am the one who crossed through space...or stayed where I was...or didn't exist in the first place...."
