Does anyone know the name of the world's longest song?

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 03-20-2003, 07:22 PM

American Pie????

LOL I have no clue.

Though there is like a 16-17 minute Jimmy Eat World song with like a 10 minute guitar solo.

Kay Scarpetta · 03-20-2003, 07:55 PM

Nope.

Like Amy said though, Jimmy Eat World has a long song... "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses is 8:55 minutes, Mozart and a lot of those classical composits are long as hell...

I know its not that long, but "Like a Stone" by Audioslave seems to last forever to me. I like the song, but it seems to drag on forever.

There've been a few that have taken up entire album sides, most notably "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly, released in 1968 which was 17 minutes long, and "Close to the Edge" by Yes, from 1972 takes up an entire album side (think vinyl albums, NOT CD's or cassettes), but I don't recall how many minutes, prolly around 20.

I heard Emerson, Lake and Palmer did long songs.

The extended version of "Love To Love You Baby" by Donna Summer was like 17 minutes long...

Uhhhh...I don't think Mozart, Beethoven and all those guys were necessarily going for radio-friendly 3 & a half minute hits...

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 03-21-2003, 01:41 AM

The Beatles have some pretty long songs too.

JoPol_wannabe · 03-21-2003, 04:46 AM

I Heard It Through The Grapevine that's a pretty long song its 11:30 long.

From the Yes album Relayer, "Gates of Delirium" is a 22 minute song.

Other than traditional songs - check this out:

A recital of a composition by John Cage, the man widely acknowledged as the father of electronic music, started today. The song titled As Slow As Possible is meant to have a duration of 639 years.

NOFX's "The Decline" is about 18 minutes long

Penny Lane · 03-21-2003, 08:13 PM

I would guess Alice's Restaurant.
