Very Long Songs Thread - Songs that are usually over 30 minutes long.

[Bargain Bin Laden]

Lizard by King Crimson 23 minutes

Neo-prog band Twelfth Night came out of nowhere to record a studio version of a decades-old live favorite, finally released in 2018. A clip of the sadly departed Geoff Mann giving the Sergeant Major's pep talk is incorporated.

Highly recommended for fans of the big, big neo-prog sound.

Pretty sure Bull of Heaven takes the cake here, as some of their pieces last millions of years. Here is a 12 hour simulation/excerpt:

They do seem to win the prize. I assume these "songs" are generated by an algorithm of some sort?

 

[An Sionnach Seang]

one of Charlemagne Palestine's long-form organ works, condensed to 72 minutes for a CD-friendly recording; if done live, this would have run for several hours

Spoiler: Schlingen-Blängen

he also recorded a similar, warmer piece for a Valentine's Day concert, with a very silly title (Schlongo!!!daLUVdrone), and with a climax so glorious it could almost pass for a religious experience, but nobody seems to have shared it on YT so, yeah

 

[Sea Hag Henderson]

Best I can do is the time my friends and I got shitfaced and listened to the 26-minute version of Poopship Destroyer by Ween.

 

[Corn Sake]

I'll change the record soon, I promise.

Unpopular opinion, but I actually prefer A Passion Play.

I go back and forth on which I like more. Love the sax on passion play and war child, it's a shame IA didn't play it more on later albums.
