I could have included The Whirlwind, The Incident or Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, but I consider them all suites rather than individual songs. -------------

I think it's funny that the lengths range from like 20 mins to 2+ hours but to the average music listener any one of these would surely be much too long

Not counting Whirlwhind - I believe Mei by Echolyn is the longest clocking in at nearly 50 minutes. Next up would be Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells and Jethro Tull's TAAB and Passion Play all clocking in b/w 40-45 minutes (yes, I'm too lazy to look up exact times and yes those three albums are in two separate parts, but I consider them one song which was only divided due to the constraints of vinyl). Wait, I forgot HC's Trondheim which is somewhere around 80 minutes spread over 2 disks. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

5 longest wha?
The number one top longest song goes to Jethro Tull's "Thick As A Brick" (43:44). The honorable number two spot goes to the Far East Family Bands' "Parallel World" (30:08). Number three goes to "Atom Heart Mother" by Pink Floyd (23:21). (Both 1, 2, and 3 being the title tracks of the albums from which they came.) Number four goes to "A Plaque Of Lighthouse Keepers" by Van Der Graaf Generator. I don't exactly know what number five is, but I'll just go with "2112". |
