I love 'epic' songs, or songs that are 10 minutes or longer, so long as they are captivating - or else it just turns into a way too long get-it-over-with bore fest. But I guess that just comes down to personal opinion. These are some of my favourites.

Songs that are ten minutes or longer. Love? Hate? Why take this long when three minutes will do? Or is it a more organic experience when a track does'nt need to rush itself? What are your favourites? Here is a couple of mine:

Underworld- Juanita/Kiteless:

( I actually prefer the 16 minute Banstyle/Sappy's Curry track bu found no link)

Marillion-Grendel (part one):

Achilles Last Stand - Led Zeppelin

I tried to go, but my diapers kept riding up on me.

I still grew up hearing From Out of Nowhere and Epic on the radio.

Four great Bob Dylan epics:

Desolation Row
Sad Eyed Lady of The LowlanRAB
Brownsville Girl
HighlanRAB

I can't imagine shortening any of them. As far as Sad-Eyed Lady and HighlanRAB go, the length is crucial. The music is positively hypnotic. What a mood those songs set!


Though it's hardly a masterpiece, I quite enjoy Going Home by the Rolling Stones.
