I guess I'd have to say GENESIS's THE BURNING ROPE. It's a great opening track, but at the end the synth work by banks is so beautiful and epic sounding I just wish it could've listed another couple of mins.

i think that Tales From Topographic Oceans was way too short. I think that there should have been a 46 minute Alan White drum solo on that one
along with a Rick Wakeman spoken rant about how sh*t the album was.

Heavy Blue Miles by Echolyn. I really love that track, and I wished that at least the piano part got developped a bit better... Still a fantastic song, anyway.
Out of the Prog field, I think that George Harrison's All Those Years Ago final melody should have lasted a bit more, and the same is for Triumph's Fight the Good Fight.

It's a great song btw... |
I totally agree with this. There are numerous Echolyn songs that could have been stretched, including "Island" (as you mentioned), "Clumps of Dirt," "Georgia Pine," "A Little Nonsense," and even "Mei." But I guess I'm just one of those Echolyn fans that doesn't want any of their songs to end... EVER  |

For me, I always thought that Zappa's 'Don't Eat The Yellow Snow' suite (from Apostrophe') kicks into gear with the final part 'Father Oblivion' - it seems to just take off and fades out very quickly - I would've loved to hear more of that jam........

I agree. What's the point of a fade out anyway? They still need to think of a way to end the song when they play it live.

"The Perfect Drug" by Nine Inch Nails, it ends so abruptly (yeah,
there's more complete version out there, but the original mix from "Lost
Highway" soundtrack has a very abrupt ending).

In A Glass House. I could listen to that bass riff which starts in the middle for eternity.

Thought of a couple other songs for this recently: Gösta Berlings Saga's latest album, Glue Works, has a "two 13-minute epics and a bunch of short pieces" structure, and I would have liked to see a couple of those short pieces--particularly "Icosahedron" and "Waves"--extended. (And they could have easily cut a minute or two off of "Island"...)

Xanadu always seems to end too early, I don't know why.

Well, I just listened to Tull's "A passion play" again, and I felt the fade-out made it seem it finished too early. Especially for a 45-minute track, was a fade-out really necessary? I mean, "Thick as a brick" doesn't have a fade-out.
And about my fave band Introitus, I felt "Wind" was too short. True, the "Elements"-tracks were just interludes between the epic, but "Wind" was different from the others, which were just preludes to the next track. When I heard the album for the first time, I had just returned from the 2011 Marillion Weekend, and the dreamy atmosphere made me fantasize about being back at the rainy beach of PortZélande, but after less than two minutes it was already over. Much too short. Also, it's just keyboards, flute and acoustic guitar. I was really waiting for the rest of the band to join in. I feel it could have been so much more.... but I love it anyway, like everything they do.
