Tony Baloni Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I love this song by Dire Straits. Anybody else feelin' me out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Sure. It´s a good song, I used to like it a lot. It was on the album that had a storm or something...? a strike? I got a bit bored of it after I saw them live but yes, a great guitar performance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_s_1987 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Yeah, it's a great song. Though it wouldn't rate in my top five favourite songs that are over 10 minutes long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Baloni Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Maybe not my top 5 either. But definitely my top 10. I think probably my favorite all time 10+ minute song would have to be Atom Heart Mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foolonthehill Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I think probably my favorite all time 10+ minute song would have to be Atom Heart Mother. That's a good pick, it would be in my top ten for sure and maybe top five, but I'd have to say that Close To The Edge is just all around my favourite recording of all time, regardless of length.

MuzikTyme Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I've thought on more than one occasion that the best songs are the ones you wish didn't end so soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Baloni Posted May 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Fear Satan by Mogwai is one of my favorites. And of course Heart Of The Sunrise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foolonthehill Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Alright, I'll have to make mine now. This is gonna be difficult 1.Close To The Edge- Yes 2.And You And I (well, no other song could ever possibly follow Close To The Edge. They're just the perfect pair) 3.Supper's Ready- Genesis 4.Mysterious Semblance At The Strand Of Nightmares- Tangerine Dream 5.Atom Heart Mother- Pink Floyd 6.Dogs- Pink Floyd 7.The Musical Box- Genesis 8.Awaken- Yes 9.Karn Evil 9- ELP (just for the second impression, my favourite all-time keyboard work) 10.The Gates Of Delirium- Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Baloni Posted May 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 The second impression is pretty good, but if you've ever heard "Keyboard Improvisations" off of one of their live albums, it's probably the best thing I've ever heard Keith Emerson do.

c_s_1987 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Unsurprisingly I also forgot a great one: Evie Parts 1, 2 & 3 - Stevie Wright (or alternatively the great cover version by The Wrights, which I am more familiar with) Yeah, it is really just three relatively short songs that are over 10 minutes when added together. But, then again, so is Karn Evil 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foolonthehill Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 damn I also forgot "9 Feet Underground". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicagojeff Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Maybe not my top 5 either. But definitely my top 10. I think probably my favorite all time 10+ minute song would have to be Atom Heart Mother. Low Spark of high heeled boys.. Traffic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Berry Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Telegraph Road An accurate depiction of the rise and falling down of western civilization 'Low Spark' adds enlightenment and is great But "Telegraph Road' stands as the accurate description of disillusionment with this, the new era of lowered expectations and the melodies are juuust perfect A masterpiece worth hearing over and over...like crimson and clover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
