Sweet Jane 61 Posted February 24, 2006 Report 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?
NewYorkMets9 Posted February 24, 2006 Report 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.
daslied Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 Meat Loaf is the worst. For Crying Out Loud, edit the song already.
phil Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 I Want You (She's So Heavy) by the Beatles is too long.
_Laurie_ Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 Closer To Home...GFR...love the song...but the ending is just too much.
Sweet Jane 61 Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report 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
Steel2Velvet Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Suzie Q is another CCR song that is too long as is Iron Butterfly's Inna Gadda Da Vida
katie_sane Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 no Spoken like a true prog rock enthusiast!!
Peter Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 album version of Magic Carpet Ride, too long with some really bad organ, but I still like the song.
Brad_M Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 "99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall" Way too long!
Otokichi Posted February 25, 2006 Report 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.)
Batman Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Spoken like a true prog rock enthusiast!!
edna Posted February 25, 2006 Report 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" ( )
Crazy Don Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 "The Mummer's Song" by Loreena McKennitt. Too long, and boring to boot…
Levis Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Any song that is boring is instantly too long!
edna Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Any song that is boring is instantly too long! Indian wisdom.
Batman Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 "Beat on the Brat" by the Ramones is too long...I get bored with it after 30 seconds!
Brad_M Posted February 26, 2006 Report 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.
OLD 55 Posted February 26, 2006 Report 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.

katie_sane Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 "Beat on the Brat" by the Ramones is too long...I get bored with it after 30 seconds! Ahh, no way! That's the beauty of The Ramones, they never did anything too long!
Brad_M Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 Parody Interlude: Beat on the bat Beat on the bat Beat on the bat with a baseball bat Oh, yeah, oh yeah
