Not so looong songs (from 7-10 minutes)

I don't have the times handy, but any of the longer songs from the Genesis album A Trick Of The Tail would fit the 7 minute + category.

I'm trying to make up my own 8 minute track for a compilation CD. In recent concerts, Jean-Luc Ponty has been combining the first movement of the "Imaginary Voyage" suite with "Infinite Pursuit" (from Fables). I've been battling with it using the album versions. Can't quite get the timing right, and the tracks sound quite different. Or I can just listen to the version from the live Semper Opera set.

 

Let's not go to the 5-6 song. Way too many there.

Besides, some 7 min + songs are still missing from this list. How can you miss:

Sun City - Artists against apartheid
Tunnel of love - Dire Straits
Riders on the storm - Doors
Roll over beethoven - ELO
Goodnight Saigon - Billy Joel
Aja - Steely Dan
Fanfare for the common man - ELP
Ripples - Genesis

 

I put Riders in the 6-7 min category incorrectly. As for the others, I hove no excuse. I am ashamed.

 

Hang your head in shame, Bill

You also didn't mention:

Calling Occupants of interplanetary craft - Carpenters

 

American Pie by Don Mclean

 

White Bird by IABD is in the 6-7 category (and a classic one at that).

Also The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald fits in the 6-7 category.

 

One of my favorite long songs from the '60s was Eric Burdon/Animals "Sky Pilot", which is around 7:27. The 45 had a part I & II.

Also, Alice Coopers's "Halo of Flies" and "Killer" at 8:21 & 7:07 respectively.

Another fave is Nugent's "Stranglehold" at 8:22.

 

I suck for forgettin that one....

damn me!

 

Stranglehold, American Pie, and Edmund Fitz,, are all previously listed. Tha nk heaven I wasn't that frgetful.

I didn't get the Alice Cooper though....

I am a slacker!

 

Bill: I believe you meant to say "Dang me!" (As Roger Miller would say...)
