Two rules:

1) must be UNDER two minutes in duration

2) Must contain lyrics. Instrumental tracks not allowed.

I’ll start with:

NEVERMORE (from Queen II).

I've always wished it were longer. A song should last at least three minutes.

Steve1956 · Post by **Steve1956** » Thu Aug 28, 2025 7:03 pm

Also from Jethro Tull's Aqualung "Slipstream"
Both just over a minute long
