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.

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...

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!
