I hate it when a song is perfect, except you just want it to go maybe a minute longer. What songs are like that for you?

Elvis Costello - Welcome to the Working Week (1:23)
Elvis Costello - Mystery Dance (1:38)
Angry Samoans - Right Side of My Mind (2:09)
They Might Be Giants - Dig My Grave (1:08)

I'd love for Kyuss - Whitewater to be longer, but 8 minutes is perfect

Ulver - Operator maybe

I immediately thought of Elvis Costello when I saw this thread. So many of his songs could be longer.

most of their songs are just as long as they need to be, but i think "Brazil" is really great and it could use another section to it.

also, just found this out:

Scratch Acid - Monsters

its like the best song and its only 1:19! in fact, so far it seems like all their best songs are under two and a half minutes.
