Prog Rockers everywhere just picked up their 12 strings

kaiprice.bsky.social•5 days ago

This amazing, almost 8-minute song recently came to my attention. I'm thinking that most would find it more accessible than the lengthy jam band, shoegazer, and psychedelic rock songs that I usually listen to.

But use discretion as there is a slight risk of pregnancy just in giving it a listen. 😂

Wouldn't you rather watch Trump swaying to Ave Maria for 30 minutes?

LOL. You'd have to be to vote for that bullshit.

How do you feel about Desert rock/Stoner metal because have I got treats for you!

nwanu.be•5 days ago

I'll try (almost) anything at least once

johnnyatomic.bsky.social•5 days ago

Here is a 30 min banger for you. ;)

Aye thank you for this! Just listened to the whole thing and loved it

johnnyatomic.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oh WAY COOL!. If you are into nerdy type things, check out Howling Giant - Glass Future is my current favorite album.

feistywiddershins.bsky.social•5 days ago

I'm a Phish fan. Many/most of their songs, especially when played live, are well over 8-11 minutes. Great stuff.

jvsylvester.bsky.social•5 days ago

Light My Fire with that idea.

prismatic-tiger.bsky.social•5 days ago

noemiie.bsky.social•5 days ago

if you haven’t heard &ME & Black Coffee’s The Rapture Pt. III, i definitely recommend. 7 mins long as a sweet start haha. i’m obsessed with that song

noemiie.bsky.social•5 days ago

the children yearn for prog metal

h2opolosf.bsky.social•5 days ago

Listen to Tool.

therealjohnconnor.bsky.social•5 days ago

Check out Gaga’s music videos, or trance electronic music. Both can have 7+ minute songs.

therealjohnconnor.bsky.social•5 days ago

If you want a few suggestions for Gaga‘s videos, watch Marry the Night, Telephone, Alejandro, then Abracadabra.

wessoman.bsky.social•5 days ago

As a Psych/Progrock/Krautrock fan, 8-11 minutes for a song seems kind of average.

You must not listen to music to say something like that.

NOFX The Decline. 18 minute masterpiece

phoenician.bsky.social•5 days ago

My favorite 10-minute song. Floydicus Pinkus, with ~arguably~ one of the greatest guitar solos ever recorded.

briansingh.bsky.social•5 days ago

Seriously! I want to go on a journey!

Have you not heard of the dear hunter, the contortionist, sleep token? Avenged sevenfold? You under a rock?

Is that with or without a 2/3 minute drum solo?

nwanu.be•5 days ago

yes

Innagaddadavida Baby!

phoenician.bsky.social•5 days ago

The DJ’s friend! Time enough for a ciggie, a joint, a quick dump, a BJ (Hey! DJing was a tough gig!)

virgil500.bsky.social•5 days ago

Or jazz sides that go the full max.

javajunkymonkey.bsky.social•5 days ago

Dream Theater for one does that. I love them. I went to see them Feb 15. An out of this world experience.

mr-rusty.bsky.social•5 days ago

Dive into the Ren rabbit hole.....plenty of longer songs there. I might recommend the "tale of Jenny And Screech" trilogy. Language advisory required.

libradoodle.bsky.social•5 days ago

Have you not heard of Taylor Swift? 😁

nwanu.be•5 days ago

I've admittedly never done a deep dive to know she has multiple 8-10 minute songs?!

libradoodle.bsky.social•3 days ago

She has a lot of angst. 😅 There are no great lengthy tracks being put out like there used to be tho, for sure.

How about 7:31? This was the soundtrack for "A Not So Still Life" a film about Ginny Ruffner who overcame a near fatal car accident and re-established her worldwide reputation as an amazing artist.

Depends on what you listen to:
"Antonín Dvořák's Symphony No. 9, From the New World is typically around 40 minutes long."

elpebe.bsky.social•5 days ago

Sounds like escapism at that point. "yes, yes, I just need to finish listening to that song!"

quityourbs.bsky.social•5 days ago

Metallica would like to have a word.

skirri.bsky.social•5 days ago

Another Canadian classic.

Canadian Railroad Trilogy by Gordon Lightfoot

Canadian classic.

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot

I will always "Heart" and upvote The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

ipbookreviews.bsky.social•5 days ago

Hmm...All I can think of is the classics for that time period...Here's the overture...we need the good guys back! William Tell Overture (the lone ranger) of course this might also get you movin'! https://youtu.be/YIbYCOiETx0?si=sS_W1gJvqgf3DFR4

shadowselfca.bsky.social•5 days ago

They never left. You just need to listen to music other than pop.

chrisswinglis.bsky.social•5 days ago

Dream Theater just released a new album

maniacalz.bsky.social•5 days ago

And the closer is 19 minutes lmao
