[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Atom Heart Mother Suite - The Pink Floyd - 23:48

Hmmm... mine is 23:44... which is the longest piece of music. I have one track that's longer: A career in indierock (bonus) by Turbonegro at 24:36, but that's unchecked because it's not really music.

The longest tracks I listen to regularly are Rime of the Ancient Mariner from Powerslave by Iron Maiden and Welcome to the Pleasure Dome by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, both at 13:39.
