I don't think creating a very long song (and more precisely a song-album) is very different to composing more normal songs... After all most long song are like many sorter ones put together with certain themes being repeated throughout the song. And don't forget that long songs are not something new in rock scene. Remember all those 70's prog rock bands which always composed really long songs (i still remember Yes' "Tales From The Topographic Oceans", a double lp containing 4 songs)....

That's a great album. A friend of mine sent me an edited version of it that sounds excellent. I would like to see Yes sometime soon. I hope they tour near me.

The first "long ass" song I heard was Manowar's "Achilles, Agony and Ecstacy in 8 parts" (28 min). Then My Dying Bride's "The Cry of Mankind" (13 min). Then "Black Rose Immortal." THen Edge of Sanity's "Crimson" (40 min), and finally LoD, DoD.
All of them are well done.
Well, for me, the Manowar, EoS and Green Carnation all tell a story. But I think the main reason those songs kick ass is because they can properly develop all the musical lines (riffs, whatnot).

Carmina Burana, by Carl Orff. It's approximately 65 minutes.
i'm such a smart ass... you didn't say it had to be a metal song!
Well, crap, you might as well say Wagner's Ring Cycle, which I think is about 20 hours. but I've never listened to it (thank god).

Some album that just had running water and rain for about 2 hours straight. I sat there amazed. I couldn't believe what a waste of my fucking time it was.

dammit Triste got it before i did. yes the doom metal band sleep has a one-song album called jerusalem and it's VERY boring...but i guess we might find many underground dooms bands that do a lot of long songs...it's just that it's very hard for a doom metal band to be doomy and not boring at the same...bands like cathedral, MDB, solitude aeturnus manage that perfectly...

this long songs most of the times suck because if you just like a small part of it then you'll have to wait and wait and wait...

60 min cd/tracks have got to be fucking tiring... i am amazed that they can be creative enough to hold someones interest for the whole fucking hour

Not so my friend. at least not for me... i have a program called goldwave, and with this magical device i can disect any track and even take a part of one song and put it with another piece of another song. I am cool.

Well, that wouldn't be a problem if the songs were actually interesting.
Regardless of their ability, sitting through and hour long song of a band with a particular 'style' is no doubt going to get on anyone's nerves.

This is the longest song I've ever heard... but yeah, it's structure is very incoherant, and it's almost not a song..
But I can't wait to hear some DEVIL DOLL!! hehe...
