Blame Hey Jude, but there have been some very long songs that have made the radio. For the purposes of this page, please stick to songs with lyrics (no 25 minute instrumentals, like Pink Floyd's "Echoes").
Latest Entries
The 20 most recent entries are listed below. There are 563 Super Long Pop Songs entries on the site.
"Any Time, Any Place," Janet Jackson Length:7:08
Appearing on the album janet., this is her longest song to date.
Redsimba
"Back For More (EP Version)," Ratt Length:5:16
This song would also appear in a different, shorter form on the band's full-length debut album, "Out Of The Cellar".
GlamRockNinjaLord
"Bluebird," The James Gang Length:6:02
The Buffalo Springfield/Stephen Stills homage to Stills' then girlfriend Judy Collins rocked out by Joe Walsh and company.
GB
"Stop," The James Gang Length:12:04
Joe Walsh plays multiple guitars and piano on this classic rocker.
GB
"Are You Ready," Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) Length:5:47
Arguably the first Christian rock song.
GB
"Time Has Come Today," The Chambers Brothers Length:11:06
For anyone needing "more cowbell", this should do the trick. Considered by many the ultimate psychedelic rock song it was released in three edited versions on 45.
GB
"Get Ready," Rare Earth Length:21:30
The album version was released in two edited versions on 7 inch vinyl: a 3:14 version which reached #3 on Billboard and an extended version of 7:07 for FM radio play.
GB
"Refried Boogie (Parts 1&2)," Canned Heat Length:41:00
This version of Canned Heat's boogie was recorded live at The Kaliedoscope in Los Angeles. It filled two sides of the double album "Living the Blues". On the CD it is listed as tracks 3 and 4, but on the vinyl LP it was printed as tracks 2 and 4 so it could be listened to without the need of turning over the record.
GB
"Will You Be There," Michael Jackson Length:7:40
This must have been his longest released song.
redsimba
"The Raven," Bryan Cherry Band Length:9:13
None of the songs from this Jimi Hendrix sound-alike blues rocker are short, and longer songs clearly exist. But the marathon jam session at the end of this one could make you think the song is their "Kashmir."
The Skuz
"What Would You Have Me Do?," Local H Length:25:15
Technically, the song only lasts for 15 minutes, with the last 10 being random street noises, but even then it's still a long track.
S.O.S
"Fool's Overture," Supertramp Length:10:52
Most of the lyrics are in the end, but there is even a Winston Churchill recording in the song
rad
"Tales From Topographic Oceans," Yes Length:81:04
This double LP is technically just one song broken up into four parts. If you do accept that it is actually one song, then it is very likely the longest song in the history of rock. And I have heard all of it (except for the excruciatingly awful third side) played on the radio at various times.
Jeffrey
"A Light In The Black," Rainbow Length:Around 8 Minutes
The closing track on the band's second album.
G
"European Son," Velvet Underground Length:7:46
A pretty long song for the days when most songs were a little more than 3 minutes.
Robert Ballinger
"Heroin," Velvet Underground Length:7:12
A pretty long song for the days when most songs were a little more than 3 minutes.
Robert Ballinger
"Take Your Time (Coming Home)," Fun Length:7:51
The final song on Fun's debut album was almost eight minutes long.
