| 5 Great Songs Longer Than 10 Minutes
Of the many musical epics exceeding the 10 minute duration, these are some of my favorites. | | 1 | Godspeed You! Black Emperor
The Dead Flag Blues
A truly dark masterpiece, making the idea of the apocalypse everything but farfetched. This is ominous, frightening art exceeding any genre, or even the generalization music. | | 2 | Kayo Dot
The Manifold Curiosity
The Manifold Curiosity, in all its sonical perfection takes the listener through the most primordial of human emotions, on a wild ride that by the end unleashes the monster of beauty created by the road to get there. | | 3 | Sigur Ros
Vi?rar Vel Til Loft?r?sa
Stunning, depressing, uplifting. Encompassing all at once, this makes good weather for an airstrike. With its build-ups and huge soundscapes this is one of the Icelandic post-rock quartet's finest moments. | | 4 | Explosions in the Sky
The Only Moment We Were Alone
This is Explosions in the Sky trying to portray their view of love, regardless of context. Just pure love. And with their ever lush, incredibly powerful soundscapes and melodies, their portrayal is a breathtaking one. | | 5 | The Cinematic Orchestra
All Things to All Men
The Cinematic Orchestra, here collaborating with the rapper Roots Manuva, is treading new ground with this song. A truly fantastic collaboration, this song mixes jazz with hip hop-rhythms and the gritty realism of Manuva's brilliantly crafted lyrics. | |

10.12.09 | LOL...my 10-minute list would be way more generic; stuff like "Octavarium," "Untitled 8," "Anesthetize," "Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus," "...Crazy Diamond"
...And then stuff like NOFX's "The Decline," Norma Jean's "Disconnecktie," Weird Al's "Albuquerque," Enigma's "Principles of Lust"...stuff like that.
