Pointlessly long songs? (techno, drum, bass, pop, track)

coffeeshop · 06-25-2006, 07:23 AM

I was just listening to The Diamond Sea by Sonic Youth and the song is like 3 minutes long but then it goes on for about 17 minutes more with just 'noise'. I say if bands want to make long songs there has to be a point to them being long like The Trilogy last track on Daydream Nation.

Any other examples of bands just going several minutes too far?

Theres a point to noise. Its just a different style of music... and no music is pointless.

Any song you have to go through silence to find the hidden track. What a bitch that is.

Anything by The Darkness. They should all last 0 seconds. Anything above that is way to much Darkness to listen to.

Devil Sold His Soul: Like it's your last. Brilliant song. But it basically ends after 6 minutes, then had a 2 minute fade out...Pointless...

There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
