Music Thread - Long Tracks Only
Music Thread - Long Tracks Only
I hope this will be a music thread with a difference. I want to hear the longer rock tracks from bands, mostly I guess from the musically fertile period of mid 1960s to mid 70s.
In this timespan new recording techniques and electronics, new or refined instruments, record companies willing to take risks and young talented individuals, perhaps helped by drugs and not restricted by having to have hit singles etc. but purely interested in music, led to an explosion of musical innovation, crossing genre boundaries of for example classical and jazz.
The only obvious limitations was the vinyl format, leading to a maximum recording of around twenty five minutes for one side. Of course live they could do any length.
The first track I offer is Pink Floyd - Echoes from their Meddle album:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBca3xf-j3o
This track starts with around eleven minutes of music, then three of ‘wierdness’ leading gently into more music. Some Floyd fans think this is the finest thing they’ve ever done. I think they’re nearly right! It's a fine achievement from four young lads.
To sum up, I don’t want hit singles on here but long album tracks. How long is ‘long’? I don’t know. It can be any genre from Floyd’s ‘prog rock’ to Taste/Rory Gallagher’s million notes a minute guitar stuff.

The Battle of Hampton Roads - Titus Andronicus
Bucking the trend a bit as this came out in 2011 but 14 minute long closing track of my favourite modern rock album (and even then it's over a decade old ).

Re: Music Thread - Long Tracks Only
This 17 minute epic will surprise many. It's Curtain Call by The Damned. A million miles away from their early punk rock roots. They were talented and accomplished musicians. Dave Vanians vocal is , in my opinion,
reminiscent of but better than, the strong Tony Hadley of Spandau Ballet.
Give it a try, you could be surprised if you've not heard it before.

This song is a bit indulgent as each of the four musicians get a lengthy solo piece but I still think they keep the music going.
