(lets say min. 15:00 of length, if you don't find 10, you can put shorter ones in aswell) I just love those longer tracks that keep your attention up, tell some story and leave you with that "oh that didn't even feel close to half an hour" feeling. my list (without any kind of sorting): Rush - 2112 Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick Phideaux - Chupacabras Emmerson, Lake & Palmer - Tarkus Van der Graaf Generator - A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers Transatlantic - All of the Above Liquid Tension Experiment - When the Water breaks Disillusion - Back to times of Splendor Dream Theater - A change of seasons Museo Rosenbach - Zarathustra You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Most music I know of that is longer than 15mins starts turning into classical music and I only know a few names of pieces and even then it's only parts of it that are really my fave bits. QUOTE (Slavenko Erazer @ Oct 10 2012, 08:53 AM) SYmphony X - Odyssey lasts 23 mins Manowar - Achilles, Agony and Ecstasy - lasts about half an hour Just like these.. they both have epic bits, especially the ending sections.. but there's also a few places which aren't quite as awesome. Although, I really should listen to The Odyssey again, maybe I'm getting confused and it's all awesome... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It really builds up pretty nicely, really like it, especially after the 6 min. It's more of a softer epic, than that epic epic. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

In no particular order; Dream Theater - The Count of Tuscany - 19 mins Meshuggah - I - 21 mins Manowar - Achilles, Agony and Ecstacy in Eight Parts - 28 mins Crotchduster - Crotchopus - 14 mins (just 'cause it's the funniest thing I've ever heard) The Devin Townsend Project - The Mighty Masturbator - 16 mins Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner - 13 mins Opeth - Blackwater Park - 12 mins Heathen - No Stone Unturned - 11 mins Yes - Close to the Edge - 18 mins and of course, Rush - 2112 - 20 mins Edit: I also forgot about The End by The Doors, only lasts about 11 minutes but always been one of my favorites!

It's actually a very complex piece of music, it just happens to have some pretty funny lyrics As for the Crotchduster one, unless you're a fan of very immature humor and can't stand foul language it probably isn't for you, lol!
