DrW Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Very interesting topic. Usually I think the longer the better. It might be blasphemy, but I prefer the 20:30 version of "Cortez the Killer" by Built to Spill over Neil Young's 7:29 original. But there is one song where everything is said after two and a half minutes: Edited June 22, 2020 by DrW 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went to college in the seventies, the student club had parties every Saturday. The two favorite "long" songs were "In A Gadda Da Vida" and Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water". I very much preferred the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Of course half the length of the video is the lead singer trashing the stage after the performance, but... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Pretty much every Ramones song. Race Car Ya-Yas (Cake), Da Hui (The Offspring), Evelyn, A Modified Dog (Zappa) or Baby Snakes. Two from the Minutemen: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
