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, that are intended for radio play (singles).
Entries Beginning with H
"He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot," Grandaddy Lenght:8:53
Seems like several songs seamlessly melded together.
Ra'akone
"Heart of the Sunrise," Yes Lenght:10:34
The last track off of "Fragile."
Mickey D.
"Hemispheres," Rush Lenght:19 minutes and 7 seconds
A great song and album. Rush is one of those bands I have always liked, I don't play them much, but when I do it is a good thing.
Wade Brock
This song is on the album "Midian."
TBuck
The best known long pop song, and perhaps the first to break the 7 minute mark and still hit number one at a time when a three minute single was still considered the standard.
ChuckyG
"Hocus Pocus," Focus Lenght:6:41
A shorter version (a little over 3 minutes) is what's normally used on the radio. This song is best known for all its yodelling
Ra'akone
This was the second track from Winwood's "Roll With It" album.
harderman
"Home By The Sea," Genesis Lenght:11:21
The first and the second ones put together in one track.
Mickey D.
I don't care how good of a song is, it should not go past 6 or 5 minuets. plus, this song is so boring, it would bore a person to death.
Amanda Day
Green Day's second longest song from the album American Idiot
Michael M
The second longest song off of Grand Funk's "Closer To Home" album, released in 1970.
Rock Maninoff
Full title being "The Hopeless Opus or the Great Battle of the Unfriendly Ridiculous". Lyrics are only in the later half. Dont know if indie pop counts.
Misanthroptk
You can come in, but you can't get out

Said to be 3 minutes on the album so radios would play it (=
