Haha, I think the longer songs have improved my attention span so you never know what they might do for you

Depends of a lot of things. The versatility of the song, if it keeps you paying attention all the time, the lyrics helps a lot too!!. Maybe a long song would be better if it's a short song. And besides can happen too. But I still prefer the long songs

I voted 3:30 - 5:50, but truth is I prefer good songs, don't really care how long they are as long as I like them

I like it when most of the songs on a album are 3:30 - 5:30. But it is nice to have one or two songs which are longer.

That is right, if the song is good everything is fine. When the song rocks but it is less than 2:30 it is a little bit annyoing though

I like to listen to long songs but if you want a radio to play it, you have to make something no longer than 4:30.

Does the 35m+ option include the likes of John Cage's ASLSP?

that 30 min option just reminded me of Cure's "Carnage visors", 27 min, I guess it's the longest song I've heard

I think it really depends on the song, but for songs with one basic idea in them, 5 minutes is tops. Multiple ideas should really just split up into multiple songs. However, Long songs are ok as long as you keep them interesting. Dragonforce commented on how they're having a hard time making radio versions of their songs just because their songs have a lot of parts to them (and also epic guitar solos.)

Look at the topic for my guitar... Finished Guitar Build Gear: Homemade strat (You still need to look at its topic!) Squier strat (probably going to get rid of it and get another guitar instead) :) Line 6 spider amp (not actually used for anything, just acts as a speaker) Digitech Gnx2 (kind of old, but cheap, and sounds amazing!) |

There aren't that many very long songs in modern music, but I would say "The End" from the Doors is definitely one great song and it is long, and so is Offspring's "Killboy Powerhead" that is aroun 1.30 so it's the quality not the quantity
