Thread in which to post your fave 3 minute, 16 second song.

Shouldn't be too many prog songs, I would think.

GO!

Spanticles.


CONFIRMED!!

On a lark, I sorted my iTunes library by song length and counted no fewer than 18 GOOD songs that are exactly 3:16. The best? Very, very hard to say. "Sweet Jane" by the Velvet Underground and "Jonathon Fisk" by Spoon would probably beat the rest of them...but narrowly.

I gotcher prog right here:

Up to Me- Jethro Tull 3:16

I have to admit, the first thing I thought of when I read the original post was "Wot Gorilla?" by Genesis. It's about the proggiest prog that ever progged down prog lane...but it just missed the time requirement (clocking in at 3:20).

Good thinking... From a field of 53 candidates, today's choice is

Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town by Pearl Jam (Vs.)

Very smart. I have 19 to choose from but there's no contest that the best of the best is Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie. Honourable mention to She Goes On by Crowded House.

Nice!

I have 25 to choose from, and if I had to go prog, it would be King Crimson - Dig Me off of Three of a Perfect Pair. My favorite of all the 3:16s I have is Alvin Lee & Mylon LeFevre - Rockin' Till The Sun Goes Down. I wish Alvin and Mylon had stuck together longer than they did.

Great idea btw. We could do a month of these.

I smell a comp coming on...

Oh, and FA is right. Ziggy deserves a very, very honorable mention.

Nope. I'm still wondering why you singled out 3 minutes and 16 seconds.

[Ex Lion Tamer]

I Found that Essence Rare - Gang of Four, I too used the Mr. Midfi method and with only 8 contenders, the choice was pretty easy. Other contenders...Holland,1945 - Neutral Milk Hotel and Night Versus Day - The Sound.

The Animals - "We Gotta Get Out of This Place"

De La Soul - "The Magic Number"
