One of the things about music that people often ignore is the length of a song. Music longer than 5 minutes is often (especially today) doomed from making it big because nobody wants to put it on the radio. In fact, I will go on record as to suggest that the 1970's was the decade of the 'long song'.But there were some great long songs eh? Including, but not limited to:
- Hey Jude - The Beatles
- Bela Lugosi's Dead - Bauhaus
- Layla - Derik and the Dominoes
- The Message - Grandmaster Flash
- In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida - Iron Butterfly
- Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
- Autobahn - Kraftwerk
- Purple Rain - Prince
- Svefn-g-englar - Sigur Ros
- Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
- Dogs - Pink Floyd
- Voodoo Chile - Jimi Hendrix
