Interestingly, in my experience, most long songs don't even start off nicely (whether I'm aware of their length or not). It is like the artist assumes the listener is patiently going to wait for a pay-off.
I've heard the Pulp song before. It's okay - interesting lyrically, musically okay, but it doesn't resonate with me emotionally. I wasn't aware of a longer version of it, but there's no reason for me to seek it out.
Also, VEGANGELICA, thanks for mentioning the attacks on my name aren't okay. Guys, maybe I chose the name because 1) I use it elsewhere and 2) in general I'm a smart person? I actually think my taste in music is good and that people ought to share my opinions, though in my opinion music isn't important enough to try to convert the resistant. Also, I am very knowledgeable about popular 80's music - but I don't claim "wisdom" about all genres, the technical side of music, etc.
