Ok. We’ve done shortest song: https://lemmy.world/post/42427735
Now it’s time for the longest song. Bonus points if it’s an actual song as opposed to a single note that goes on for 24 hours (there’s quite a few of those, I hear, but that’s not what this thread is for)
This is the longest good song in my playlist… Alice’s Restaurant Massacre by Arlo Guthrie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaKIX6oaSLs
Beethovens 7th symphony?
American Pie. It just repeats and repeats and repeats. I remember the 45 wanted you to flip it over to hear the second part of the song. I guess no one explained to him that you can set 45s to play at 33 rpm.
They’re not crazy long, but i really like Car Seat Headrests long songs. 10-15min range.
Love Car Seat Headrest!
Dopesmoker by Sleep is a 63 minute track.
It’s not the longest, but it feels that way. The most unwanted song is 21 minutes of… Well just bad https://archive.org/details/the-most-unwanted-song-full-version
The story behind it is an interesting read as well
Oh, I remember this! It’s really not as bad as it seems, is it? I feel like I’ve heard much more “unwanted” things on shopping mall playlists. haha
EDIT: The rapping soprano is… AWESOME?! I forgot about that
Maybe this needs a subcategory of the longest song that is actually good, reading those other comments.
I don’t know, but Bill Laswell was probably involved.
