Favorite musical epics?

[nobody]

I tend not to like many long songs, especially in a rock mode. Anyone know who sang that tune that went something like...

I like short songs!
I like short songs!
I like short songs!

for about 20 seconds or so?

I'm guessing classical stuff doesn't count, but I do like a few longer electronic things. Stuff like The Orb's A Huge Ever-Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules rom the Centre of the Ultraworld, which has a ridiculously long title to match is nice. When it comes to electronic stuff, especially things with a more ambient or laid back bent, I can handle much longer songs than rock stuff.

Dead Kennedys

What do I win?

My undying respect and gratitude. Or a beer if you're ever in Lansing before I get the hell out of this town.

When you moving?

Well, to answer the original question, you nailed two of my favourites: "Dogs" and "Starless". And I don't mean to be an old fogey, but "Free Bird" still rocks.

Here's one that's a little off the beaten path: Synergy, "Sequence 14" -- it definitely captures an epicness in my book (might be short, not sure of its length).

When you moving?

Not sure yet. Been doing the job interview thing and one seems like it should pan out. Hoping to hear any day now. If all goes well, I'll be moving at the end of this month or the first of July.

Then again, you never know until the call comes, so I may still end up looking around.

Long- Suppers Ready, Awaken, Shine on you Crazy Diamond, the Sky Moves Sideways

Short- The suite of 10 to 30 second songs called "Fingertips" on They Might Be Giants "Apollo 18". "Please Pass the Milk, Please", "Come on and Wreck My Car", "Everything is catching on Fire", "What's that BLUE thing Doing Here?". Bent, to say the least.
