Re: Great Long Album tracks…
Some great tracks here - The Musical Box is one of my favourite Genesis tracks.
Grendel doesnt count as an album track as its not on an album - b side to the 12 inch Market Square Heroes. For Marillion i think The Wwb hits 10 mins.
I'd add Close to the Egde from the same album (Yes), and I think Victim of Changes by Judas Priest is close to 10.
Good shout for Pictures of You - its actually about seven and a half (which is quite surprising) The Same Deep Water as You from the same album is almost 10 ans is a belter (like every track off Disintegration).
Also maybe Sealand from OMD's Architecture and Morality

Pink Floyd - A saucer full of secrets . At 11 minutes it’s quite short by Floyd standards. Gets a bit lost in the middle but the ending is sublime.

Re: Great Long Album tracks…
My favourite piece of music ever. Simply sublime. There is a section of it where all the band, including Anderson on vocals, seem to be playing differing things but it gels magnificently. Also the most pompous ending ever but petering out to the Anderson vocal. Still play it regularly almost 50 years on.
Incidentally I don’t know if you have heard it but there is a great live version on the Keys to Ascension album.

We were short listed to support them on a tour but we didn’t get the gig. Couple of our guys knew the keyboard player cos they were from Whitehaven, as were three of our band.

Pre ‘It Bites’, met Francis through a mutual friend who lived in Keswick, we used to do Everley Brothers etc through the summer and made a packet.
He’s a top performer.

My favourite long album tracks are echoes and shine on you crazy diamond by Pink Floyd both of which have been mentioned above.
My favourite long track which I haven’t seen mentioned is Starless by King Crimson (12 minutes plus) from the album “Red”.

Have seen him a few times, a couple quite recently one with a Blues band, and the other doing It Bites stuff. You can book him to come and sing in your house too (although it needs to be a big house).dougcollins wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2024 2:58 pmPre ‘It Bites’, met Francis through a mutual friend who lived in Keswick, we used to do Everley Brothers etc through the summer and made a packet.

John Mitchell who took FD’s place in IB also plays guitar in *Frost (led by the amazing Jem Godfrey)
Black Light Machine by *Frost is worthy of this thread.

Not to mention the 10 minutes of yapping on between each song when he plays live … “get on with it for Pete’s sake”
I used to be in a Springsteen tribute band (in fact I’ve been in two) although not a massive fan myself, as a guitarist what used to annoy me was that he employed a couple of excellent guitarists but still insisted on playing lead on some songs, and tbh they are a bit rubbish, and what’s worse is that I had to mimic it!
Just let Nils play it.
Mind you I shouldn’t knock him because he’s made a darn site more money out of it than I have or ever will.

Re: Great Long Album tracks…
I went to see BS (under duress) and that his my take entirely- you've got one of the (arguably) top ten guitarists and you don't let him play. All bloody keyboards and saxes.jos wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2024 8:37 pmNot to mention the 10 minutes of yapping on between each song when he plays live … “get on with it for Pete’s sake”

We appear to have used up the obvious choices from yes and rush, given that my personal rush favourite "natural science" falls short by 44 seconds, but can I add to the lidt:-
Green grass and high tides - the outlaws
Whirlwind - Austin young band (not timed it)
Stars - the frequency
The narrow margin - iq, and for those of you voting for some of the prog rock tracks above that haven't heard much iq, then please try it ( but not the last album as it's lost its way/awful)
And if we are allowed classical material, then
Concerto pour 7 instruments - Frank Martin
A colour symphony - Arthur bliss
Four sea interlude - britten

Not 10 minutes but I always remember it being the longest track on the album and much longer than you usually get for a Bowie track.
So much to digest in the track - crazy lyrics as per usual !!….but great key changes, guitar solos etc
