Tnspieler1012 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I can only ever think of sigur ros songs... :\ namely: von, svefn-g-englar, viorar vel til loftarasa, olsen olsen, e-bow, popplagio etc... Motion Picture Soundtrack is (technically) 7:01. :smug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 @ Nathan Yeah, mine is similar to yours...not really a best ever or anything. Just an "at the moment" type of thing. For LCD Soundsystem I was deciding between Us v Them and Get Innocuous. I didn't even include any Pink Floyd or Porcupine Tree although there are some long songs by each I like.

MrMagpie Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 I found it kind of interesting radiohead doesn't have any 7+ minute songs. I mean MPS technically is...but it isn't 7+ minutes of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMagpie Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 ^ True... I was thinking more along the line of studio-album versions. Just since some stuff live gets a few extra minutes tacked on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnspieler1012 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I take it the time for everything's not lost is with life is for living added...Apart from exceptions like that and MPS, I was surprised to see zero 7+ min. tracks between radiohead, U2 and Coldplay. Whereas Sigur Ros has buckets full. Everytime I switch from something like svefn-g-englar to LIT, I get a headache from the faster speed...

Kackie Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 My all time favorite song over 7 minutes long is: David Gray: Say Hello, Wave Goodbye (from "White Ladder") then: Everything's Not Lost by Coldplay They Dance Alone by Sting When Angels Fall by Sting Appalachian Springs by the Verve most of my favorite songs are on the longer side, 5-6 1/2 minutes... but I never realized just how few of them are over 7 mins! If this had been a six minute thread, my list would have been MUCH longer. Cool thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
