    I guess everyone has their own favourite 7 minueter, but just how many of them are there?
    Anyway here's my list (in no particular order as it depends on the mood) with the usual suspects of course included.

    Bohemian Rhapsody Queen
    The hurricane Dylan
    Alices restauraunt Guthrie
    Catfish Taste
    Freebird Lynadrd skynard
    Thriller Jackson

    What am I missing?

    pulled this from wikianswers

    The longest recorded piece of music is by a noise band called Bull of Heaven, "The Chosen Priest and Apostle of Infinite Space." It's more than 2 months long. They also have other works that are multiple weeks long. http://bullofheaven.com

    2 months long eh! who has some spare time to listen to it

    Just what I came in to post when I saw the thread title! :D

    Also, Paradise By The Dashboard Light.

    Rocket Man by Elton John is definitely up there. Although it's only 4 mins on the album, it's the greatest 13 mins in a live show you will ever come witness!

    Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding by Elton John.

    Sigur Ros - Untitled #1

    If you like the genre, most post-rock stuff tends to hit in about the 7 minutes to allow for several quiet to loud sections.
