Your favorite "long" songs.

It's funny how many songs by most artists are 5 minutes or less (usually less). I guess it has something to do with radio stations being able to play them or maybe it has to do with short attention spans. I don't know what it is, but my favorite songs have tended to be longer than the typical "radio" songs you hear everyday (not always, of course). They are usually 8 minutes or more (usually more).
I think with a song that lasts longer you can really develop the mood and feel you are trying to convey. You can establish a theme and then play on that theme with subtle differences throughout the song with timing changes and adding or subtracting instruments or vocals. I think the thing I like most about long songs is that they can usually build and build until they reach a climax. Some of my favorites are:
1. Lateralus - Tool (9:24)
2. The Patient - Tool (7:14) - has probably my favorite non-classical music climax of any song ever.
3. Three days - Jane's Addiction (10:48)
4. Then she did - Jane's Addiction (8:18)
5. Hafsól - Sigur Ros (9:50)
6. Mílanó - Sigur Ros (10:25)
These are just a few that I love. I was wondering if any of you were like this and, if so, what are the songs and artist? I'm always up for listening to something I have never heard before.

Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - 6:29

Dream Theater - Octavarium (24:00)
Most Opeth songs... they average around 10 minutes.
Progressive Metal/Rock in general.
The majority of classical/romantic music is lengthy. I'd say that I don't often find shorter songs that memorable. There are of course examples of songs that are concise but pack a heavy punch.

1.) "Is it a Crime?"--Sade (6:21)
2.) "American Pie"--Don McClean (8:35)
3.) "Alice's Restaurant"*--Arlo Guthrie (18:37)
*anytime you hear the long version of "Alice's Restaurant" on the radio, it is universally known that the DJ is taking a shite.
