Boy,
cant think of much right now.
here's some artists instead that have some long stuff:
Miles Davis (mostly bitches brew)
Coltrane (the ascension)
Glenn Branca (most his stuff is over 10+)
Rhys Chatham (most an agle moves to fast to see)
sonic youth (early stuff done lvie with lots of noise)
a lot of jazz
a lot of free improv.

There are a lot of ones I like that are pretty obvious, so I'll name one that most people probably won't think of: Jimi Hendrix 1983. . .(A Mermaid I Shall Be)

Sister Ray
Beat Bop-Rammelzee vs K Rob
Reoccuring Dreams-Husker Du
Blood Swamp-Boris and Sunn o)))

Butthole Surfers - "Jimi"
Boredoms - "Super Going"
Bongzilla - "Grim Reefer"
Sonic Youth - "Spinhead"

Lightning Bolt's "Mohawk Windmill" is twenty two seconds short of ten minutes, so i feel it deserves mentioning.

YEM

Lots more, but I'll leave it at that for now.

I have nothing against two minute pop or punk gems, and have truly loved my share of those, but most of my favorite music goes on for over 10 minutes per track. For me to list my favorites would probably take half the night. The first 5 that come to mind instead?

Hawkwind - "Master of the Universe" preferably Space Ritual version
Sonic Youth - "Radio-Amatoroj"
Sun Ra & the Arkestra - "Atlantis"
Velvet Underground - "Sister Ray"
Autechre - "Drone" from the Peel Sessions Vol. 2

every song on Tales From Topographic Oceans

I forgot to mention Starla by the Smashing Pumpkins
We Will Fall-the Stooges

Wolf Eyes - Dead Hills
Stuff by the following groups:
GY!BE
EITS
Mono
Pelican
Animal Collective
Yellow Swans

10 minutes really isn't that long folks. Really.

Ditto to all, and add:

(stuff by)
ASMZ
Do Make Say Think
The Mars Volta
Sigur Ros
Mogwai
Ocrilim

Ladies- Mandatory Psyche Freakout
Neutral Milk Hotel- Pree-Sisters Swallowing a Donkey's Eye
The Flying Luttenbachers- Regime (part 1)
Mindflayer- You're at the Bottom of a Dungeon, Deal With It
The Locust- Safety Second, Body Last
Wolf Eyes- Desert of Glue
Orthrelm- OV

I just got a limited edition double cd of remixes of Explosions from the Sky tracks. I think every song easily qualifies for this thread. Some of it is just jaw droppingly amazing.

To (just about) all:
yeah, and Mr. Bungle have some ten minute-plus bungles for yr bunghole...should we really care?


yeah, well, a better thread would have been for songs seven or eight minutes-plus.

Once again I'm in agreement with Noumenal. But I'd also like to add Fushitsusha's I saw it, that which before I could only sense to the list, clocking in at 85+ minutes. Loads of Haino's tracks are long, but that one's my favourite.

The version of Sister Ray by VU on the live boxset (40+ mins)

The last one by Les Rallizes Denudes on Live in Tochikawa (sp?) 1977.
