[Kid B]

BBF3 - Godspeed
Dead Flag Blues - Godspeed
The Stars Are Projectors - Modest Mouse (8:47 - close enough)

[checkered.stars]

[chipdip18]

2.) James Brown - Mind Power (12:05)
3.) Cursive - Staying Alive (10:06)

[tomatl]

Sleep- "Dopesmoker" – 63:31

[popdisaster00]

Jimmy Eat World - 23 (7 minutes and something)

Haha, that's not THAT LONG

so:

Midtown - So Long As We Keep Our Bodies Numb We're Safe (13:15)

[Kid B]

That Midtown song is really about 3 minutes long, with a 15 second loop that goes for another 10. Would be good for maybe 7 minutes. 13 is a fucking stretch.

it's a pretty good song................once.

[IWasaCamera]

The Trapeze Swinger
Pursuance
Ambulance Blues

[Apoc]

Opeth - Hessian Peel
BtBaM - White Walls
Mars Volta - Cicatriz ESP

[Troggy]

Opeth - Hessian Peel

Good song, but do you like it more than stuff off BWP, Still Life, Ghost Reveries, etc?

[Hojonny]

Deathbed - Relient K
A - Cartel
Konstantine - Something Corporate

[liar23]

Iron & Wine-The Trapeze Swinger

[dancelukedance]

i dont really like long songs anything over 5mins is pushing it....

[11:11]

Deathbed - Relient K
A - Cartel
Konstantine - Something Corporate
Holy fuck. That was gonna be my top 3 until I remembered I forgot L'Via L'Viaquez by The Mars Volta.

[TSLROCKS]

Deathbed - Relient K
A - Cartel
Konstantine - Something Corporate

Agreed. I'd add Not So Tought Found Out by Copeland too

[absolutecrunk]

Yes - Heart of the Sunrise
Yes - Close to the Edge
Yes - Starship Trooper
Yes - And You and I

etc...


P.S. but most of all The Decline, but I decided not to include as it isn't by Yes and is conversely by a band whose name starts with No.

[c_rob2700]

Technically, Nirvana's Something In The Way is 20 mins

[Troggy]

Yes - Heart of the Sunrise
Yes - Close to the Edge
Yes - Starship Trooper
Yes - And You and I

:hug:

Not to mention Roundabout, that song is awesome, though not quite long enough for this thread.

[absolutecrunk]

Yeah it juuust didn't make the cut. Would it have killed them for 30 more seconds? Come on guys, I've heard that Nous Sommes du Soleil or whatever don't give me this 8 minute garbage.

[Troggy]

LOL no big deal, I'll just make a thread for 8+ min songs

[CrenshawPunch]

Deftones - MX (37:18)

[CrenshawPunch]

Yes - Heart of the Sunrise
Yes - Close to the Edge
Yes - Starship Trooper
Yes - And You and I

etc...

One of my favorite songs.

[Troggy]

Good to see other people that enjoy some Yes

[SwiftSilentDead]

Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno
Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Electric Wizard - Saturnine

[Amen Amen]

Bright Eyes - Let's Not Shit Ourselves (To Love and Be Loved)

[CellarGhosts]

I'm pretty sure this topic has already been discussed before.

[_jonas]

Just some Sigur Ros, Explosions In the Sky, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
That's all you need.

[_jonas]

Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno
Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Electric Wizard - Saturnine
lulz

[polock]

pink floyd - set the controls for the heart of the sun

[Matthew Tsai]

Deathbed - Relient K
A - Cartel
Konstantine - Something Corporate

deathbed is a gimmick. besides the lyrics, there's no substance musically whatsoever

[Hojonny]

deathbed is a gimmick. besides the lyrics, there's no substance musically whatsoever

incorrect

[IWasaCamera]

It's Relient K, automatically devoid of substance.

[_jonas]

yep, correct.

also all you need: Sigur Ros, Explosions In the Sky, & Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Literally nothing else matters in long searches.

[IWasaCamera]

Wrong, you forgot to include jazz.

[_jonas]

oh. Coltrane I presume?

[IWasaCamera]

Coltrane, Mingus, Miles, Coleman, Brubeck, Monk, Hancock, Rollins, Duke, Sun Ra, Ayler, Chick, Dolphy, list goes on.

[flyeast]

Goodbye Sky Harbor may be one of the most repetitive songs ever, but I could listen to it over and over

[CellarGhosts]

Goodbye Sky Harbor may be one of the most repetitive songs ever, but I could listen to it over and over
Same here. Incidentally, I could also listen to Unfun over and over.

At least until the resulting clinical depression began to sink in.

[flyeast]

I judge anyone who couldn't listen to Unfun over and over.

[versus_god]

*Bivouac*

[CellarGhosts]

I judge anyone who couldn't listen to Unfun over and over.
Nah, I could listen to it over and over, but I'd probably end up feeling pretty down and out after a while. But things would even out.

*Bivouac*
Best JB album oh yeah.

[_jonas]

I liked The Crane Wife pts.i ii & iii

The Island was repetitive but had oomph once it picked up the synths

[versus_god]

Best JB album oh yeah.
I agree completely. Oh yeah. Best Jawbreaker song as well.

Around the 7 minute mark after the sample about ants where the drums kick in and Blake yells, "BIVOUAC".
Holy shit.

Oh yeah.

[funkel]

The Island is pretty sucky I agree.
Wrong.

[CellarGhosts]

I agree completely. Oh yeah. Best Jawbreaker song as well.

Around the 7 minute mark after the sample about ants where the drums kick in and Blake yells, "BIVOUAC".
Holy shit.

Oh yeah.
The Joan Jett cover on that album is priceless haha.

And yes, agreed on the BIVOUAC! part. Great stuff.

[funkel]

Almost always skip that song.
Best song on Crane Wife.

[_jonas]

Lulz.

[flyeast]

Nah, I could listen to it over and over, but I'd probably end up feeling pretty down and out after a while. But things would even out.
Of course things would even out, you're listening to Jawbreaker haha

[CellarGhosts]

Of course things would even out, you're listening to Jawbreaker haha
Haha, this is true.

I'm excited to see how his new band ends up sounding.

[Apoc]

Good song, but do you like it more than stuff off BWP, Still Life, Ghost Reveries, etc?

Since Opeth writes lots of long songs and I love a lot of em, I figured that they'd be responsible for one of my three. It ended up being kind of a toss up between:

Deliverance
Blackwater Park
Hessian Peel
The Drapery Falls
Ghost of Perdition
Leper Affinity

Could have been any of those honestly.. but Hessian Peel's my favorite of the bunch right now. Next week my vote could change.

[Kid B]

Every song on the Crane Wife is excellent

[oncedarkness]

Deathbed- RK

Fin- Anberlin (kinda short for a long song)

[Hojonny]

Holy fuck. That was gonna be my top 3 until I remembered I forgot L'Via L'Viaquez by The Mars Volta.

Well apparently, you have good taste in music then.

[Throwback]

Bob Dylan - Desolation Row
Lou Reed - Street Hassle
Modest Mouse - Stars Are Projectors

[SkateFirm21]

Emery - From Crib to Coffin.
The Mars Volta - L'Via l'Viaquez.
Fear Before the March of Flames - What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas.

[CellarGhosts]

Longplayer - Jem Finer

[kearn1tm]

Suicide -- "Cheree" is certainly among the most disturbing, making it one of my favorites.

[bowl of oranges]

Between The Buried and Me- "White Walls"
Modest Mouse- "Truckers Atlas"
Sigur Ros- "Milano"
Explosions in the Sky- "It's Natural To Be Afraid"
Bright Eyes- "Let's Not Shit Ourselves"

[tehdangerdave]

Boris - Vomitself
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Antennas To Heaven
Metallica - ...And Justice For All
Between the Buried and Me - Ants of the Sky
Between the Buried and Me - Sun of Nothing

[Apoc]

Well apparently, you have good taste in music then.
Truth. L'Via is absolutely bitchin.

haha, just checkin. good choices there. I am a big fan of Opeth.

[Apoc]

excellent, so you like good music. ever see em live?

[ugman_2000]

Opeth are awesome live seen them twice blackwater park is such a good album but they're all great to be honest

My fav long song would most likely be Pink Floyd - shine on you crazy diamond

[Troggy]

excellent, so you like good music. ever see em live?

I haven't, they came through the area last month but it was all the way in Baltimore which is too far away for a weekday concert. I wish it would have been on the weekend.

That's true, but Blackwater Park is especially great.

Haha all true. If you get a chance to, definitely see them.. they're airtight live and Mikael Akerfeldt has some great dialogue with the audience.

When I saw them it was right before the release of Watershed, but of course it had leaked and me and all my friends had it. Onstage Mikael said, 'We're going to play a song off the new album, Watershed..' and people started screaming out song titles. 'Play Hessian Peel, play Porcelain Heart!' and so on.

and he laughed and said 'well I see you've all already stolen it.' But he was happy about it - 'we're just glad you literally can't wait to hear it.' Good sense of humor? Check.

Then they played Heir Apparent and it was fucking brutal and fucking epic. For lack of better words.

haha that sounds awesome. I remember watching a live video of Heir Apparent when the album was first buzzing around. it was pretty good. I'd say Porcelain Heart is my least favorite song off Watershed.

Yeah it's the weakest track. Hessian Peel's the best, but Coil, Heir Apparent, and Lotus Eater are great.

[Troggy]

Aww, you only left out the ones I have really been enjoying! Burden and Hex Omega. You really can talk about every track on there, that's one of the things that make Opeth such a good band, very little time on any of their records goes to waste.

Hex Omega was a little of a dud for me at first, especially since it shares a lot of parallels w/ Porcelain Heart. However, lately, I have been loving the riffs on that song and now i think it is a great closer. Unfortunately, now it makes Porcelain Heart look bad by comparison. Oh well, just a minor glitch in the album.

Burden is amazing, it is my favorite song on the record. On Ghost Reveries they didn't do a mid tempo no growling kind of song like that, and it is a welcome return. I like the slow stuff on Ghost Reveries, but there wasn't anything like this. So good.

[Hojonny]

Deathbed- RK

Fin- Anberlin (kinda short for a long song)

Great choices

Yeah. Absolutely - there's no 'filler,' so to speak. It's all worthwhile.

I'll agree that Hex Omega and Burden are awesome- both better than Heir Apparent, probably, which I think is a little too heavy-handed... although the final melody is flawless, a kind of perfection which reminded me of The Drapery Falls - there's not a misplaced note at all.

The end of Burden is terrifying.

[Troggy]

The end of Burden is terrifying.

Yeah that's one way to put it. Interesting indeed.

Heir Apparent is really the only pummeling song on the record, so I enjoy that it is a little heavier than it really needs to be, and the end is great anyhow.

Yup.

Isn't there an Opeth thread we can dominate? You and I have totally taken this over lol

[Troggy]

Yup.

I'll go bump the offical thread...that I started :-/
