I would like to know everyone's favorite songs over 10 minutes in length. Maybe someone will even post a song that I have never heard, so I can check it out. My favorites are

Burzum - Det Som En Gang Var (Not my favorite song from Varg, but the atmosphere it creates is unparalleled. One of the riffs is awesome too.)

Symphony X - The Odyssey (Words can't really describe how good this song is. Amazing. The solos, keys, and drums area all great through the 24 minutes)

Opeth - The Moor (The intro alone is worth all the praise this song gets from us Opeth fans. Everything about the song is perfect, Mikael's vocals, the acoustic guitars, the heavy guitars, also I heard there is a sigh in the song, and nobody know how it came to be there. None of the band members sighed while recording, so I wonder what it was...)

Nile - Unas Slayer of the Gods (The horns in the middle of the songs are what really make this song a favorite of mine. The solo helps a little too)

Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno (My favorite Iced Earth song. It has some of the best lyrics and riffs ever. "Abandon all hope who enter here")

Iron Maiden- Rime Of The Ancient Mariner (Maiden must be mentioned in this list for me. THis is my favorite 10+ minute song by them because of the mellow part of the songs and the feeling that this song evokes]


I could go on and on, but I won't. The reason I didn't choose a Dream Theater song is because I can't choose one, same goes for Porcupine Tree. Also there are way more good Opeth songs than this, but I won't post them all.

Thanks for posting!

Man, I think my absolute favorite songs tend to clock in at the 10+ mark. Lately, I've been sinking my teeth into The Furthest Shore by While Heaven Wept. Now that's an epic song.

Bathory- Twilight Of The Gods (14:00)

It's appear that the gods of metal played this song! I can listen for the 14:00 of song for 14 times

The song starts slow, and will gain more speed. And those "wind" sound in the background.... i can even see mist when listening Twilight Of The Gods!

Dreamscape - 5th Season, just a great theme through out the song.

Misanthrope - Le Commerce du Crime, probably my favorite.
Mystic Force - Transitions, but the entire album is great, best though as it's the close to the album.
Wintersun - Sadness and Hate.

1 - Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits.

Which live version of this song do you like more?
IMO Alchemy is one of the best live albums by them. in this concert, they performed "Sultans of Swing" and "Once Upon A Time In The West" very nice !

Yeah, from Alchemy for example, Dire Straits always was a live band, and the live version (more of 10 minutes) of this song is one of my favorites song of all time, it is so epic!!

It's hard to make 10+ minutes song which is not boring in some moment, Iron Maiden with Rime Of The Ancient Mariner did right thing.
