GREAT LONG SONGS (OVER 10 min.)
VA - Great Long Songs, Over 10min Long CD1 + CD2 + The 25 Longest 45RPM Singles.
Sometimes we want to hear our favorite artist stretch out and create songs that are expanded in length from the standard three or four-minute song we are used to hearing. Thankfully, there are plenty of great long rock songs that are well in esceed the radio-friendly three or four-minute mark. There are many long track in Rock music but I wanted to present tracks that have a minimum running time of 10 minutes in length (thanks @Bucephallus for the suggestion). I have left out live versions, extended remixes, improvised jams and medleys, classical and jazz which are often longer tracks. Here are some of the longest tracks in rock musics. Very few tracks here are multi-part suites and are only included if the track sounds like one track. For me the tracks presented are so good that they seem much shorter listens. Sometimes I listen to them and you lose time. They are so well structured and musically are so extraordinary that they remain compelling even after multiple listens.
As a bonus I have also prepared a 25 track compilation of great long songs that appeared on 45RPM singles. Only two of these are over 10 min in length, which is amazing length for a 45RPM single. The shortest track here is just over 7 min in length. The songs here all occupy only one side of a 45RPM single. In the early 1990s, EMI pressed a small number of the full-length 8:27 version of "American Pie" by Don McLean on one side of a 45RMM single but it was also issued as a split single A&B side.
Nearly all the research suggests that the track "Incident on 57th Street (Live)" by Bruce Springsteen is the longest 45RPM single at 10:03.
Anyhow, sit back, relax, take your time and enjoy these wonderful looooong songs.

This is an insanely brilliant theme for a compilation - congratulations and thanks!
ReplyDeleteAlso looking forward to listening to it in sequence -- Alice's Restaurant followed by Sister Ray followed by The End? Insane!
{Oops, that comment was me, Gummo.)
ReplyDeleteHi Gummo ,
DeleteNo problems. You are always a generous examiner of my Compilations. I deliberately chose a sequence for the tracks (They are not random). Sometimes I get it right other times maybe not. But when created they are my best feel for a great listening experience. Hope you will enjoy them.
Thanks again Gummo.
Somehow this doesn't work - when trying to unpack the files I get the message that they are corrupt. Best, Peter
ReplyDeleteI, too, am having problems trying to open the files. I have tried WinRAR and 7-zip without success...
ReplyDeleteFYI, part 1 and part 2 are indicated as being created by different programs...
Thanks,
Mike M
Hi Mike.
DeleteI left a new message on my blog re the links for this post. If you read the message you should have no problems with the link. That aside I will repost the entire Links later.
Apologies to ALL. I will re-post this today after testing.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Oh, Butter - not only do you have a seemingly endless well of great music, your deep bag of compilation concepts is likewise bottomless! These selections I'd definitely like to hear (and will see if the compressed files decide to fight back); thank you, good sir!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mr. Child.
DeleteIt is always fun and exciting to revisit the track of our youth.

Actually, yours is the method I used last night to uncompact the files, and they opened perfectly fine, nary a hiccup - I used 7zip, which uncages just about anything. Now to all those looooonnngg tracks a listen... perfect for a laid-back summer drive. PS: nice selections too - a great mix of "track of our youth" classics, and some new friends.
ReplyDeleteI a glad the Butter method works for you. I also use 7zip and don't seem to have any problems with it... as always, enjoy the music
DeleteCheers
