Sign in to disble this ad
You know those songs that are like 7+ minutes long, usually uplifting in some way, and always tell good story? Those are some of my favorite songs. What's your favorite?
Here's some of mine:
Bob Dylan---Hurricane
Led Zeppelin--Achilles Last Stand...In My Time of Dying
Dream Theater--A Change of Seasons (over 25 minutes  )...Metropolis part 1
Pink Floyd--Echoes....pretty much everything from Animals.
The Doors--Celebration of the Lizard King...When The Music's Over
Deep Purple--Child in Time
Stevie Ray Vaughn--Tin Pan Alley
Claypool's Frog Brigade--Cosmic Highway
I know there's more that I'm forgetting. I've been up all night, they'll come to me later...
