Making a brand new mixtape. This time - best rock songs over 10 minutes long

[LynneSin]

That's the original song.

Not a live version of an original song that they played live for 30 minutes.

I will check run times so no cheating with > 10 songs.

Here's my start:

#1 Low Spark of High Heeled Boys - Traffic (11:40)
#2 Shine on You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd (13:33 OR 12:29 depending on which parts)
#3 In my Time of Dying - Led Zeppelin (11:05. Never really liked Achilles Last Stand)

Ok post your song selection here!

1. Taking out live limits the Dead.

Side Two of Terrapin Station, Terrapin Station Part 1 – Grateful Dead (16:17)

[LynneSin]

10. If I let the live limits in my mixtape would be all Led Zeppelin

In the end they only did 3 songs over 10 minutes - Achille's Last Stand, In my Time of Dying and Carouselamba. But live they could easily make "Dazed and Confused a 30 minute song even though it's 6:25 on LZI

2. Jethro Tull

"Thick As A Brick" (43:53)

[sharp_stick]

[srican69]

5. if you are into Progressive rock - Octavarium by Dream Theater should be on your shortlist

its 24 minutes long and have multiple movements with a lot of Pink Flyod influence in the opening.

[Coventina]

6. Sisters of Mercy "This Corrosion"

as on the album, not the edited single version.

[Rhythm]

This was the FIRST thing i thought of...

Still perhaps my all-time favorite TSoM track...

[dawg]

7. More ...

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
Pink Floyd - Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-5)

[geardaddy]

14. +1

[panader0]

11. 'Goin Home' Ten Years After at Woodstock

[LynneSin]

12. Except no live songs

Else we'd have a mixtape filled with Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin.

[geardaddy]

13. Voodoo Chile - Hendrix (14:59)

[Iggo]

15. Rock Bottom (Live) - UFO (11:00)

The live version is the definitive version.

[Iggo]

17. Dogs -- Pink Floyd (17:03)

"You've got to be crazy..."

[Doc_Technical]

18. "Going Home"- Rolling Stones

"In a gadda da vida"- Iron Butterfly

[dawg]

19. I'm also quite fond of Carouselambra.

I might be the only one though.

[LynneSin]

20. Of the 3 songs by LZ that are over 10 minutes...

I would put that #2.

Most people would say Achilles Last Stand is the best of the LZ 10 minutes song but personally I can't stand that song. The only issue with Carouselambra is that it was on the other side of 'In Through the Outdoor' (we're talking Vinyl and Cassette) and most of the times I love the first side since Fool in the Rain is one of my top 5 favorite songs and In the Evening is also a fav. Those are side 1 so I rarely listened to side 2 of the album.

[pintobean]

21. Here's some

Boz Scaggs - Loan Me A Dime.
Camel - Lady Fantasy
Gypsy - Dead and Gone
Jon Anderson & Vangelis - The Friends of Mr Cairo
Nektar - Remember The Future (an MFM favorite)
Starcastle - Lady Of The Lake
Neil Young - Cowgirl In The Sand
Wishbone Ash - Phoenix

[Mike Daniels]

22. Nine Feet Underground by Caravan

Foreigner Suite by Cat Stevens
Supper's Ready by Genesis
Awaken by Yes

23. Cortez the Killer - Built to Spill

I know it's Neil's song, but Built to Spill is one of my favorite bands, and they do the song justice.

[mokawanis]

[Ahpook]

32. Thanks for that

Wow

[mokawanis]

35. Love that one

The first time I heard it my son-in-law played it when we were on a long drive a couple of summers ago. I listen to it frequently.

25. A couple:

X Japan - "Art of Life" (29:00)

The Wildhearts - "Sky Babies" (11:35)
Queensryche - "Suite Sister Mary" (10:40)

[livetohike]

27. 1983 A Merman I Should Turn to Be - Hendrix (14:38)

[thucythucy]

41. I would add "Machine Gun" to the list.

Though the rule is "no live cuts," there are no studio versions of "Machine Gun" (not that I know of, anyway) so I humbly submit it as an exception.

[azurnoir]

28. Frank Zappa

Inca Roads

or
Advance Romance

[lame54]

29. Grand Funk - I'm Your Captain - Neil Young - Cowgirl in the Sand

30. NOFX - The Decline

[Ahpook]

31. 10 Minutes? Thats nothing :)

[Iggo]

38. Oh, if we can go Doom and Death, I got a huge list.

But I assumed since it's LynneSin, we're talking about Classic Rock, Arena Rock, and a little bit of NWOBHM.

[KamaAina]

33. Karn Evil 9

46. "This Corrosion" - The Sisters of Mercy

My favorite track from the '80s... I could have danced to this for ~hours~...
I later discovered that it was produced by Jim Steinman -- the guy who wrote all of MeatLoaf's best songs, plus assorted other hit songs in the '70's - '90's

And egads, Patricia Morrison (the bassist) is so. friggin'. hot.
