Sweet Jane 61 1 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I searched but got tired of looking at so many entries...so I hope this hasn't been dicussed and if it has, I will take my spankings later. I thought of this on the way to work. I head CCR's Heard It Through The Grapevine, very long song and it hit me, it is too long...could be about 9 minutes or so instead of 13. Don't get me wrong there are some excellent long songs, but some just needed to be stopped after a certain point. Any come to mind? Link to post Share on other sites
NewYorkMets9 0 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I heard "Memory Motel" by the Stones on the radio the other day. I thought it went on for way too long. Link to post Share on other sites
daslied 1 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Meat Loaf is the worst. For Crying Out Loud, edit the song already. Link to post Share on other sites
phil 7 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I Want You (She's So Heavy) by the Beatles is too long. Link to post Share on other sites
_Laurie_ 12 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Closer To Home...GFR...love the song...but the ending is just too much. Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Jane 61 1 Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Shine On YOu Craxy Diamond ~ Floyd you just need to be really high or something for this song...I love Floyd but this one just needs trimmed down Link to post Share on other sites

Peter 0 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 album version of Magic Carpet Ride, too long with some really bad organ, but I still like the song. Link to post Share on other sites

Brad_M 3 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 "99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall" Way too long! Link to post Share on other sites
Otokichi 9 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I'm not too sure about this, not being a fan of the group, but didn't Humble Pie do an uberlength version of "Road Runner"? (I got the impression that it clocked in at 3X the length of the Motown original.) Link to post Share on other sites

edna 10 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Shine On YOu Craxy Diamond ~ Floyd you just need to be really high or something for this song...I love Floyd but this one just needs trimmed down I guess it could apply to many songs... I agree with Ron, "Susie Q" by Creedence is neverending. And that´s the reason why I don´t like that much "Stairway to Heaven" ( ) Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Don 0 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 "The Mummer's Song" by Loreena McKennitt. Too long, and boring to boot… Link to post Share on other sites

Batman 2 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 "Beat on the Brat" by the Ramones is too long...I get bored with it after 30 seconds! Link to post Share on other sites
Brad_M 3 Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Then you must have had it on "repeat". The song is only 2:31 long. Kids are so impatient these days. Link to post Share on other sites
OLD 55 8 Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Jane there is a 3'45" short version of CCR's "I Heard It Through The Grapevine". I'll go along with Shawna on "Stairway To Heaven", even though I think she may have been joking ? How does it keep coming up #1 on the Songfacts Top 10 ? It's not that great ! There must be subliminal messages in the song:vote4mevote4me playmeagainplaymeagain. I'd rather listen to Hotel California or Bohemian Rhapsody (both Songfacts' perennial favorites) and they're both fairly long. Link to post Share on other sites
