I constantly talk about a band called Sleep, and their song/album Dopesmoker. I say 'song/album' because the one track is an hour long. There is only one other song on the album, and it's just five minutes. Anyway, when they recorded this legendary piece of stoner metal, their record company wasn't happy with it. But Sleep refused to edit it at all, or give their permission for it to be released in any edited form. They ended up disbanding rather than sacrificing their creative vision. I think that's pretty cool.
