Songs that go on too long
Discussion
This thread was inspired by hearing the Beatles - Hey Jude on R2 earlier.
The 'play out' at the end goes on far too long and is far too repetitive.
I can think of some other bands guilty of the same thing (but can't remember the songs) but the Stones and Meat Loaf spring to mind.
What songs seem to go on forever and irk you?

I wonder if anyone has ever listened to that all the way through to catch the loop edits.

I've got a couple of Gary Moore live tracks in the car, and I think that some of the bits in the guitar solos go on a bit too long. There's one where he holds a note for just too long, and another where there's a break before he starts up again, again too long. It comes across as him waiting for adulation, which is a bit distasteful.
Parisienne Walkways.I seem to recall that 'back in the day', sustaining a note for that long was quite an achievement.

I think it might be this version you're referring to?

I'm amazed I've never heard of Caravan, given that I'm a fan of Yes, Floyd, Camel etc....

...for the last couple of weeks as my younger daughter has been dissecting it as part of her Music GCSE; the outro is guttural and full of frustrated anger, hence the repetition but Kurt’s tone becomes more desperate; prescient. Hindsight maybe, but still a fine song.
An interesting GCSE project. I'm sure he was angry, however I still think it went on for too long, and the producer (assuming it wasn't him) should have edited it down.But hey ho, we all have differing opinions (not a bad thing!).
