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
Dopesmoker by Sleep is a 63 minute track.
Beethovens 7th symphony?
They’re not crazy long, but i really like Car Seat Headrests long songs. 10-15min range.
Love Car Seat Headrest!
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.
Maybe this needs a subcategory of the longest song that is actually good, reading those other comments.
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
I don’t know, but Bill Laswell was probably involved.
