"Beyond This Life," Dream Theater Lenght:11:22
The song is from the album Scenes From a Memory, and this song seems to be about a man who would rather himself die than lose the love of his life.
TBuck
"Bitter Sweet Symphony," The Verve Lenght:5:58
Despite its being just shy of six minutes long—a very long time for mainstream radio in 1998—it managed to hit #12 on the Billboard charts, and eventually became a very well-known song due to its use in a Nike commercial and the movie "Cruel Intentions."
Cat
"Bittersweet," Big Head Todd & The Monsters Lenght:6:18
Lead singer's voice sounds like Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen as the Secretary of State.
Mickey D.
"Black Magic Woman," Santana Lenght:5:24
The ending of this Fleetwood Mac song contains "Gypsy Queen" as well.
Paul Warren
"Black Metallic," Catherine Wheel Lenght:7:18
The version featured in the video was cut down to less than five minutes. I prefer the full-length version.
Brian Kelly
"Black Rose Immortal," Opeth Lenght:20:15
Longest song on an album where every track exceeds 10 minutes.
James Pony
"Blinded By The Light," Manfred Mann's Earth Band Lenght:7:07
Although this was another edited tune (one reworked by Manfred Mann's Band that was written by Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen) for original single airplay at top 40 stations back in 1976 - 77 (to 3:45), the 7:07 album ("The Roaring Silence") cut was played a great deal on many radio stations (including AM top 40 stations, but especially many of the by then more prominent FM stations) and continues to be the more prominent version played by most radio stations. (The edit for the single by Mann is painfully way to obvious by most listeners).
Peter
"Blood on Blood," Bon Jovi Lenght:6:16

"Blue Room," The Orb Lenght:38:58
This is the longest song to make it to the charts, two seconds off the 40:00 album mark.

"Bohemian Rhapsody," Queen Lenght:5:55
A true rhapsody, consisting of classical, a cappella, hard rock and unisono parts.

"Boogie Woogie Waltz," Weather Report Lenght:13:06
Our first style in music is the "jazzy" waltz!
Mickey D.
"Brainstorm," Hawkwind Lenght:11:06
The studio version. Hawkwind usually plays "only" 8 minute version on gigs.
Susanna Viljanen
"Breakaway," Kelly Clarkson Lenght:10:00
This is the actual length of the full version of the song, although the album contains a considerably shorter edit that is only 3:57 in length. Kelly says she plans to release a re-issue of the album that will contain the full-length version. Seriously, folks.
