iPod What's your longest song?

I only have classical music, musicals, and audiobooks in iTunes. Not counting audiobooks or multi-movement compositions ripped as one track then it would be...

Morton Feldman, String Quartet No. 2 (in one unbroken movement), 6:07:07

Second is Feldman's Piano and String Quartet recorded by the Kronos Quartet, 1:19:38 (also is one unbroken movement)

There's a disc 2? I only have a one disc version of this album :( Is it a remixes disc?

Well I have several mix albums, loads by DJ Tiesto and some Hed Kandi and other stuff which all appear as one long album, well over 1hr 15mins long. ok you're saying that doesn't count.

But I have one track which itself is just over an hour long:
Goldie - Mother (Saturnzreturn disc 1) 1:00:19

other longish tracks are:
Massive Attack - Antistar (100th Window) 19:38
Goldie - Dragonfly (Saturnzreturn disc 2) 16:04
The Orb - Slug Dub (Orbus Terrarum) 15:49
The Sabres of Paradise - Clock Factory (Sabresonic II) 14:43
...and plenty more similar stuff around the 14min mark...
 
I have one mix that is 1 hour and five minutes long. but that is a mix by the way. i have two other songs by jean marie bryce that are each 33 minutes long. i have 57 other songs that are between 30 and 10 minutes apiece, i dunno i guess im just a fan of the longer stuff.

Actually my 30:02 song (3D Thunderstorm Environment by Darwin Chamber) was a single $0.99 song. Not sure why as all the other Darwin Chamber stuff was Album only, but this one wasn't (plus I got it as a free Pepsi song :D). Doesn't seem to be available anymore, though.

There was a time when you could get this entire album for $0.99, but has since increased to $11.99 (possibly because I linked to the low-priced album during the 500 million countdown in July).
 
My longest is Arlo Guthrie's re-recording of Alice's Restaurant (the one with the lyrics about a copy of Alice's Restaurant being in Nixon's record library and the gap in the tape that was exactly 18 minutes and 20 seconds long), which weighs in at 22:18.
 
My top three are from A Live One by Phish:

Gold: Tweezer (30:55)
Silver: You Enjoy Myself (20:57)
Bronze: Harry Hood (15:11)

3700+ songs, and Phish owns the medal podium...
 
My longest song is Lately by British Sea Power, which clocks in at an impressive 13 minutes and 59 seconds. There are eight tracks in my collection that actually last for longer though – although thanks to the fad a couple of years ago for 'secret tracks' most of these mainly consist of silence. The longest of these is These Dreams by Robbie Williams, which lasts for 31 minutes and 24 seconds and belongs to my girlfriend, before anyone asks. ;)
