Songs that shouldn't end

I remember seeing Yes in Cincinnati on the Union Tour in '91, and the guy next to me commented on the first song played "They could just play Yours is no Disgrace all night and I'd be fine with that." Lol.

 

If I'm being honest I greatly prefer the "Yessongs" version to the studio.

 

This riff could go on forever...

 

Pink Floyd's 'Comfortably Numb'.
A one or two minutes longer guitar solo in the end wouldn't hurt.
Or a proper ending like in the concerts would've been nice.

 

While I don't want any song to go on forever, I would have liked an extra 30 - 45 seconds of this one:

 

Her Majesty by the Beatles seems to be just one note short.

 

Even at 11 minutes, you still want more Ernie's Reise by Grobschnitt:



(Rockpommel's Land is the name of the LP and the 20-odd-minute title track but the video song is Ernie's Reise)

 

My Bloody Valentine - Soon

 

House of Love, Shake and Crawl:

 

If a song never ended, you'd never be able to hear the whole thing, own it on any format, or see it performed live. And forget about it ever getting radio play. So I'm not in favor of this at all.

‘Sorrow’ by The National. Oh...wait, er

 

Pantera - Floods

45 seconds for Dimebag's legendary outro riff teamed up with the sound of rain is waaaay to short.

Since the day of its release I always thought that the lenghth of the two song sections should have been at least 50:50.

The main outro starts at 6:10 and gives me goosebumps every time.

 

Top 10 Songs That Could Be 18 Times Longer... (w/ solos or jams)

‘Saint of Me’ - The Rolling Stones
‘Day After Day’ - Badfinger
‘Tomorrow’s Over’ - Armchair Martian
‘Only Life’ - the Feelies
‘Where Do You Think You’re Goin’?’ - Dire Straits
‘Loose’ - The Stooges
‘Nowhere Road’ - Steve Earle
‘Under the Pressure’ - the War on Drugs
‘Golden Arrow’ - Darkside
‘The Rain Song’ - Led Zeppelin

 

It’s already 2:45 too long already...

 

Tom Petty's Runnin' Down A Dream is woefully short, it could easily stretch out into a ten minute epic.

 

There is a version out there somewhere with that crucial few extra seconds, so much better!

 

I think this is their most melodic, catchy song of all and that sumptuous, inspiriting coda could go on for eternity for my money.

 

This one, my favorite song, that guitar solo at the end should never end.

 

Adding one , no, two :

Neighborhood by Charlie Sexton Sextet
Slow Train by Joe Bonamassa

 

Far, far too early. What was he thinking?!?!?

 

Love it! However, that's the song that "wouldn't" end as opposed to "shouldn't". RIP Shari Lewis

 

I always thought I'd Love to Change the World ` Ten Years After was way too short.

 

'A Thousand Miles From Nowhere' by Dwight Yoakam. Love Pete Anderson's guitar work throughout the song, especially toward the end when you wish it would continue for another 5 minutes...
