Top 10 Songs Over 20 Minutes Long

The Top Ten
1 Echoes - Pink Floyd

Love this track. Listening to it right now, as a matter of fact. It's excellent.

My personal favourite rock song of all time! 23 minutes of brilliance!

The best track of all time. Pink Floyd are so damn good

Half an album! That's about 5-6 songs in one

2 2112 - Rush

It was hard for me to choose between Shine On You Crazy Diamond and this one, but I had to vote for 2112

2112 is one of the greatest compositions of the last century. It tells a story that pink floyd could only dream to tell in a whole album.

"echoes" is just your typical verse chorus verse format, while 2112 and supper's ready have like 7 different movements.

3 Lizard - King Crimson

The jazziest song ever.

4 Octavarium - Dream Theater

24 minuets of pure awesomeness plus nonthing boring just rock n rock and a little metal. I like it better than all songs on this list also six degrees and presence of enemies are heavier but still ausome but It can't beat octavarium

My favourite part is 12:15-19:50, but every other minute is still breathtaking. My favourite song (and band) at the moment definitely.

5 A Change of Seasons - Dream Theater
6 Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd

Everybody can find a part of this song that they can relate to. It's impossible to not have some reaction to it. In addition, this classic's changing synth, guitar, and sax keep it extremely engaging.

My second favorite Floyd song. Dogs is my favorite. Unfortunately, Dogs wasn't quite long enough to make the list.

Song length: 26:05 (all parts)

Song length: 26:03 (all parts)

7 Supper's Ready - Genesis

Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly
The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand
And it's hey babe your supper's waiting for you
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true?

This should be #1. Practically every other song on this list was inspired by it.

It's a Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Tune!

No comparison for this masterpiece

8 Black Rose Immortal - Opeth
9 The Gates of Delirium - Yes
10 The Odyssey - Symphony X

Yep octavarium is a masterpiece but please this needs to be 2

The Contenders
11 Tarkus - Emerson Lake & Palmer
12 Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence - Dream Theater

Just pushed this up to the Top 5 where it belongs! This song is a masterpiece that takes up an entire second disc on the massive album! Just listen to the Overture and you will know why!

It's 42 minutes 4 seconds long & follows the story of 6 people suffering mental illnesses.

This song played all the way through live is over 40 minutes long! ! !

13 Crimson, Pt. 1 - Edge of Sanity
14 The Divine Wings of Tragedy - Symphony X

The Odyssey is fantastic, but The Divine Wings of Tragedy is Symphony X's true masterpiece!

15 Thick As a Brick - Jethro Tull

It's 43 minutes 50 seconds, inspired by songwriter Ian Anderson.

Song length: 43:46 (both parts)

16 Symphony No. 5 - Tchaikovsky
17 The Revealing Science of God (Dance of the Dawn) - Yes
18 Karn Evil 9 - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

19 The Remembering (High the Memory) - Yes
20 Ritual (Nous Sommes Du Soleil) - Yes
21 Symphony No. 25 - Mozart
22 Dopesmoker - Sleep
