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!

Opeth-Back Rose Immortal, In the Mist She Was Standing, and few others
Iron Maiden-Rime of the Ancient Mariner (this one is a classic!)
Bathory-Blood Fire Death (does not feel like 10 mins, very solid pace)
Darkthrone-Kathaarian Life Code (to me this is Darkthrone's prime)

Nightwish - The Poet And The Pendulum
Opeth - Blackwater Park; The Drapery Falls;

That's it really. Most of my favorite longer than average songs are about 8 minutes in duration, like Memento Mori, Sacred Worlds, Dreamflight, White Pearl Black Oceans and so on.

I get bored too easily to do 10+ minute songs, however the one song I can tolerate and keep on repeat is Deep Purple's 'Child In Time', next longest song I can do is Led Zeppelin's 'Since I've Been Loving You' which clocks in at 7:24.

Well, it's just that your scale is different hehe, taking in account your list 2011: Best to Worst and taking in account your tastes extracted from that same list, 7.5 can be currently a real notable, which is a good thing =), by the way i discovered the disc of Satan's Host thanks to your list, very very good that album.

Yeah, that song is spectacular, as we would say in Spain "estoy flipando" with the new album of Vektor.

Its rare that I find a 10 minute some I don't like. Like the one from the new Nightwish album. A 6 minute reading of some dodgy poem by a variety of voices just killed the song for me.
