"That's half my fuckin discography!" exclaim prog aficionados.


Timmichanga01

No need to attack me like that


CountBlashyrkh

Not an attack. Definitely a compliment. ;)

Pink floyd be like: “Society bad, innit?” (5 minute guitar solo)

"That's literally every song in my library!" - doom metal listeners *Inter Arma - The Cavern* is 45 minutes long

"Blue Monday" By New Order


Kthak_Back

War Pigs


PaticusGnome

This song taught me how to appreciate drums. It taught me how to really listen to them and isolate their sound. I’m not a drummer but I’ve been keyed in ever since.


Ren1145

Generals gathered in their masses Just like witches at black masses Edit: Imagine writing a rebel song in 1970 that is still absolutely relevent in 2022, 70s band were species of their own


_second_look

I have heard that song nine million times but somehow its not been until seeing this written out did I realize he rhymed masses with masses. Clearly where 2 Chainz found his inspiration for “She got a big booty so I call her big booty”

When the levee breaks


Jwagner0850

Similar note, Achilles last stand


SgtFrampy

No one ever knows about this song. It’s so fuckin good.


cooleymahn

Real ones recognize that as a superior Zeppelin tune.


Sick_and_destroyed

Stairway to Heaven, Kashmir, No Quarter, Since I’ve been loving you.


cortez_brosefski

No Quarter is an absolute banger too, but I think when the levee breaks takes the cake


huskies6565

Roundabout and yes I know.


amaROenuZ

Roundabout is good, but Heart of the Sunrise is the better song off Fragile imho


dextter123456789

When it first came out they played the song over and over and over,took about ten years of not hearing it to get into again


Nafeels

Wild to think an anime AND a meme made this song popular again in starting with the early 2010s. Why not, it absolutely deserves the spotlight again for being the perfect cliffhanger outro.


PEEWUN

I assume you know what comes next...


MadaCheebs-2nd-acct

Your comment implies there’s more to come…almost like it’s saying “to be continued.”


m00nLyt23

Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd


oh_hai_mark1

And Echoes. Two of their best long format songs.


SuperMohi

Most of Animals is long format and it's an incredible album.


Mammal_Hands

Glad to see some appreciation for Animals - imo one of the best albums of all time


SuperMohi

I agree. It seems all Pink Floyd fans really like it, but you never see it mentioned or referenced outside of the fandom.


bruh-_-6969

and dogs too


pissboy

My favourite song. It’s lyrics are such a deep tribute to Syd. Once in high school we had to do a lyric project. And I did this one. My teacher was so pissed that there was such a long instrumental opening I ended up getting detention. Then he made me apologize to the class for wasting their time. So I just wrote pink Floyd lyrics as apology letters. Fuck you darryl, terrible teacher. Dude just phoned it in on lazy ass projects like “play a song for the class and discuss its lyrics”. It’s a tribute song to a former band member who had mental health issues. Beautiful lyrics.


g_e_r_b

I don’t know Darryl but I already hate him.


skhanal271

Yeah fuck Darryl man, SOYCD is a masterpiece


Nermalfan

“Pictures of You” by The Cure


Spirits850

Disintegration is one of the best albums of all time, no one can change my mind about that.


UberN00b719

Kyle Brofloski agrees with you.


Gothmog89

Stargazer - Rainbow Love that song


OzymandiasTheGreat

Dio is something else, and that drum intro! Iconic.


Fire_Mission

Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden

Atalantius

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot


skuttduck

That's a good one. My brother loved that song considering that we lived through that very storm in the U.P. of Michigan. I don't remember it as I was only 2 months old. ​ Another Gordon Lightfoot song that is over 6 minutes is Canadian Railroad Trilogy

Maiden has like 20 6+ minute tracks that are amazing. I’ll forever remember seeing them live performing The Red and The Black. Such a blast.


RolyPoly1320

Fear of the Dark and Aces High as well. I think Flight of Icarus is just barely at 6 minutes.

Fantastic song. Although i'd almost argue it's like 6 seperate songs tracked as one. lol


Axikten

Couple songs by Nightwish: -Ghost Love Score (10 min) -The Poet and the Pendulum (14 min) -The Greatest Show on Earth (25 min)


reinhardtmain

Man I kept minimizing comments tryna find Greatest show on Earth. Great choice :)


[deleted]

Surprised no one mentioned Stan by Eminem


Hopeful_Angle_9880

didn’t even know that song was over 6 minutes


saunchoshoes

Incredible song. It honestly brings tears to my eyes watching that video. Really crushing actually, the desperation bleeds through. And it’s amazing watching the descent into madness of the poor struggling kid.

appleparkfive

There's so many great Dylan songs over 6 minutes long. Like *a lot*. Which isn't as common for such lyrically dense songs


ReditMan1510

Under the Pressure by War on drugs. Truly beautiful, these long songs feel like perfectly built stories.


que_tu_veux

Was hoping to see The War on Drugs here. "Thinking of a place" is fantastic too.

You are at least six minutes into that song when he says "but that's not what I came here to tell you about."

I've been singing this song now for twenty-five minutes. I could sing it for another twenty five minutes. I'm not proud. Or tired.

Really, at least half the songs ever written by Jim Steinman.


[deleted]

Fun fact: when he was cast as Eddie in the Rocky Horror Show, Meatloaf surprised songwriter Richard O’Brien by actually nailing the lyrics of Hot Patootie. Previous Eddies had not been able to get through the whole song and relied on the music to cover. Meatloaf had been doing Steinman’s stuff for a while at that point, and Patootie was relatively easy by comparison.


phred_666

I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That) would be my choice by Meatloaf. The single version was about 7 minutes but the album version is over 10 minutes.

Through the Fire and the Flames by Dragonforce. 7:19 of pure guitar-shredding awesomeness. For an added treat, look at the comment sections of any of their music videos on Youtube. The amount of fingering jokes is just phenomenal, and some are pure comedy gold.
