I still love Fools Gold - Stone Roses at 9:53
I’d also have to go for
Part 2 on product placement by Cut Chemist (DJ shadow) as at 27 minutes it’s a great mix

Genuinely did not know Fools Gold was that long! Have it on 7" single.

Always think about Dj Krush's Code 4109 when The Cut Chemist comes up. Not really a song but also deeper than a simple DJ mix.

Suppers Ready - Genesis.

Another vote for Supper's Ready.

Nine minutes isn't a long song, 22 minutes 54 seconds is a proper effort!

Same.

When I was younger it was Grendel by Marillion and Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden.

Pink Floyd - Echoes
GnR - Coma

At opposites ends of the spectrum but quality songs

Also quite liked The Crown when growing up and knew all the words!

Ha the Tull! I was raised on that stuff. Bourée being a firm favourite, but does not cut the 9 min mark by a long shot.

Good shout on the decline, and lateralus, mentioned that too.

Caravan's 'Nine Feet Underground' @ 22 minutes.

An absolute prog classic

[anonymous-user]

Best Roxy track ever, this is the live version for John Peel in 72, the technology Eno was using was real bleeding edge stuff to try live, so goes a bit mental, but stick with it.

If you prefer the cleaned up studio version, not 9 minutes https://youtu.be/ZHnT1qAmZgE

[Siggy61]

Not sure if it qualifies but I nominate CCR's version of Heard it through the grapevine.
If that doesn't count anything by Tangerine dream will.

You like guitar ... well guitars are better .
Outlaws .
Green grass and high tides .

Tricky question. The two which jump out at me are:

"Ghost Love Score" - Nightwish

https://open.spotify.com/track/1HZIsoTmyAv6tEWq5iP...

If you've never heard this song, then give it a listen. It's symphonic metal at its best.

Very good, but only the Floor Jansen version and specifically either Wacken 2013 or Tampera

However, I think The Greatest Show On Earth tops GLS, especially Tampera Floor Jansen version. It is close though.
