....and many more long songs, a lot of them from the same bands as the songs I listed above (tried to keep it at one per band)
"What I Say?" Miles Davis. 21:13
For short songs, just about every great beatles song. For long songs, there are quite a few Zeppelin songs that I would nominate. Kashmir and Stairway are the two obvious ones, but I would put Ten Years Gone and a few others above these. I'm also a big fan of Backstreets by the Boss. Although classic rock tends to get the most attention, Blue Monk would be just one example of a great long song in Jazz (there are many more, but I don't really have enough knowledge of the genre to list them). Just about every great classical piece would also fall into the long song catagory. As I write this I'm realizing that I could probably go on forever with a list of great long songs. There are just too many to list.
Heard it through the grape vine (CCR)
The Jack (ac/dc)
War Pigs (Ozzy)
Train, Train (blackfoot)
Hotel California (eagles)
one bourbon, one scotch, one beer (thorogood)

Do you feel like we do (Frampton) 16:31
Purple Rain (prince)
A lot of early Who in the short songs, and alot of later Who in the long songs...
What about some punk classics? Notorious for short songs, but I'm not much of a punk guy so I don't know which ones are the best.
Songs under 2.5 minutes

Beastie Boys- Girls
CCR- Fortunate son

If there is a better long love song, or love song, period, than "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands," I'd love to hear it.
This was written for the future Sara Dylan, and was recorded in ONE TAKE by session musicians who had no idea how long it was going to be...
Here are the first 8+ mins (It's about 11 minutes in total)...
Jesse, Sara, Bob:
Yeah, 3/4 of all Ramones songs fit this, along with a couple good Clash numbers like White Riot and I'm so Bored with the USA.
Long - Close to the Edge? Or how about the live Diminuendo in Blue/Crescendo in Blue by Duke Ellington, the one with the sax solo in between that just builds and builds as the crowd goes nuts. I'm also a big fan of the live Highway Star.
