I'm listening to Stereolab's latest album, Chemical Chords. The song currently playing is Neon Beanbag. Apparently it has something to do with Sesame Street.
I'm going to give Gozu's Godspeed You! Black Emperor a shot. I looked them up, read some album reviews, and love them already. In fact, F# is the album I'll be listening to.
That is, after I finish listening to The Flaming Lips' The Soft Bulletin. On the third track, "The Spark That Bled." After those two albums I don't know.

Getting into long tracks like that is an acquired thing. For me, as stated earlier, I always exclusively listen to albums to begin with, so for an album that's two tracks that amount to an hour or so, I can dig it.~
Comparatively, songs like this are just perfect for me. Man, it's a great song. It's nine minutes of something that actually works. A whole record of tracks at this length would be pretty chill, as long as they're the same quality.
Not that they're the forty minute epics in question, but track length is a really interesting thing to talk about.

Right now, I'm listening to the longest song in my music library. Disgustipated - Tool. (15:47, I know that's like nothing.) And most of the longer songs in my library are by the band Opeth. Back when I used to use torrents and P2P networks, I had downloaded almost their entire library and I don't listen to them much anymore.
Holy Hell, I agree with you. Some songs don't need to be that length. I'm usually more for shorter songs. My problem, though is that whenever I listen to longer songs, I can never finish them. Even for shorter ones, I change them after :30 to 1:00. Because I never know what I want to listen to. It's very rare that I'll make it through a 7 or 8 minute song. One of the few times I made it through a song longer than that was when I went to the Tool concert and they played Wings part 1 and 2 together. (It was about 17 min.) Most of these songs are long for the sake of being long. Of course, the entire time, I was fangirling.

Oh my god, I just started my first Godspeed You! Black Emperor album.
I thought the opening spoken word part would be like, I don't know, possibly tolerable at best, just something I would sit through at the start of the album.. But it starts and suddenly, this rustic, manly voice husks out. And I wibble inside and out. In a totally manly way. I didn't realize he was going to sound like this. Man this album is great already.
I'm just gonna sit back for another hour and just listen to this. Time well spent. Love long stuff.
I'm listening to the Mama Mia sound track. The movie is easily one of my favorites ever. The specific song that's playing, Mama Mia, is my like third favorite ABBA song...

I'm sort of an album person myself these days, but inevitably I come across songs that are either WAY TOO LONG or are just downright bad. Then I get impatient and just switch the song to album
I'm listening to Serene Velocity: A Stereolab Anthology for the hundredth time since I discovered this band yesterday. God I love the vibe of these guys

While the're are some long track songs that are boring, there's those that rule. Like:

This song is easily my favorite song of all time--the fact that it's the ultimate song for my OTP doesn't hurt, but it's primarily just 'cause it's heartbreakingly beautiful. It's about a couple torn apart by death (at least, that's how I see it).
Spoiler: it is can be lyrics tiem!
There's a girl with a crown and a scepter Who's on WLSD And she says that the scene isn't what it's been And she's thinking of going home
That it's old and it's totally over now And it's old and it's over, it's over now And it's over, it's over, it's over now I can see myself
At the end of the tour When the road disappears If there's any more people around When the tour runs aground And if you're still around Then we'll meet at the end of the tour
The engagements are booked through the end of the world So we'll meet at the end of the tour
Never to part since the day we met Out on Interstate 91 I was bent metal, you were a flaming wreck When we kissed at the overpass
I was sailing along with the people Driving themselves to distraction inside me Then came a knock on the door, which was odd And the picture abruptly changed
At the end of the tour When the road disappears If there's any more people around When the tour runs aground And if you're still around Then we'll meet at the end of the tour
The engagements are booked through the end of the world So we'll meet at the end of the tour
This was the vehicle, these were the people You opened the door and expelled all the people This was the vehicle, these were the people You opened the door and expelled all the people This was the vehicle, these were the people You let them go
At the end of the tour When the road disappears If there's any more people around When the tour runs aground And if you're still around Then we'll meet at the end of the tour
The engagements are booked through the end of the world So we'll meet at the end of the tour And we're never gonna tour again No, we're never gonna tour again
But you have to listen to it to fully appreciate it. Look it up on YouTube. It's three minutes and 18 seconds well spent.

A beautiful song about someone who loves another person so much, but said person doesn't even know that they exist. Sarah's voice is incredible - she's easily one of my favorite singers, if not the favorite.
I just got the album Era Vulgaris by Queens of the Stone Age and Inhuman Rampage by Dragonforce. I have to say I like Era Vulgaris a lot better, Dragonforce is a bit tiring with it's speed everywhere, and Dragonforce's songs sound a little bit TOO similar....

I saw these guys at Crue Fest, which rocked hard! Great song and should totally make it as DLC for Rock Band 2. Especially DLC as Rock Band 2 since these guys are from Vacaville which is nextdoor to my city.
Fucking A'! This song rocks! I can see why "Jugulator" received poor reviews (read: because Rob Halford left Judas Priest and was replaced by another singer, as if the band would ever completely disband *rolleyes) but those people are living in the past. Times change and so do bands. Nothing the bands make will ever be like "Screaming For Vengeance" or "Painkiller' but that doesn't mean they have to try.
Super charger haeaven is another good one by them.
