Hello community! I'm curious about what y'all favorite long tracks are? By long I mean 10+ minutes (that is at least long to me with short attention span normally). For me it's The Past Is A Grotesque Animal by Of Montreal (linked)

Edit: Thanks for the responses!!! looks like I have a lot to listen to these next few days

Excellent pick with the Of Montreal track.

One song that immediately came to mind for me is 2112 by Rush which runs about 20 minutes.

Also when I think of long songs I often think of post-rock music and Godspeed You! Black Emperor is one of my favorite post-rock groups. Their album Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress is technically 4 tracks running about 40 minutes but before those tracks existed on an album they existed as 1 song that they would play live called Behemoth. So I often consider that album to be 1 song.
