Pointlessly long songs? (instrumental, rock, favorite song, solo, track)

jazzfromhell · 06-27-2006, 07:09 PM

Vocals aren't usually a problem for me, but if they are, they can make or break a band. I used to be unable to listen to Pearl Jam because I hated Eddie Vedder's voice (gotten used to it, now). The worst is with metal, there are a ton of metal bands who I just don't like because of the vocals.

As for instrumental music...not liking a certain Mars Volta song is one thing, but not liking instrumental music at all? WTF?

Some of Sigur Ros' songs are pretty long.
But it's so worth it.

WTF... Manzareks keyboard and organ solos are my favorite parts from The Doors songs.

Then again i am a keyboardist, and Manzarek is probably my favorite after Wakeman and Emerson... I like the whole instrumental section from Light My Fire, though i liked Kriegers guitar solo more than the keyboard part.

Autobahn. Though it's meant to be pointlessly long. :')

I remember a prog fan calling Autobahn crap simply because it was a very long song, a prog fan.

I laughed for like 10 minutes.

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.
