"The Way You Are," Tears For Fears Length:7:43
This is probably the longest running song on The Hurting I have ever heard.
Celeste
"The Breaks," Kurtis Blow Length:7:44
Raphael
"Working Man," Rush Length:7:12
While not intended as a single, it is the strongest song from Rush's first and self-titled album. The song and album received heavy airplay from DJ Donna Halper on WMMS-FM in Cleveland, an "album oriented radio" station, giving Rush some greatly needed exposure south of the border.
P Smith
"I Will Possess Your Heart," Death Cab For Cutie Length:8:35 (album version)
This latest stalking song has an almost 5 minute instrumental intro.
Judas Kiss
"Who Killed Tangerine," Tears For Fears Length:5:33
This song is sort of nonsensical and takes too long for me to explain about. "Who killed Tangerine the prettiest girl I've ever seen."
Celeste
"How Many More Times," Led Zeppelin Length:8:29
Said to be 3 minutes on the album so radios would play it (=

"Rock Bottom," UFO Length:11:02
The version from their 1978 live album 'Strangers In The Night' contains one of the most mind- boggling, face- melting guitar solos ever- Michael Schenker at his hyperkinetic best. There just haven't been too many axe- slingers who can pull off a six- minute- plus solo without getting boring or repetitive, and this album is about as good as '70s hard rock ever got.
Kieran from Nevada
"Not So Tough Found Out," Copeland Length:10:29
Alex
"The Prophet's Song," Queen Length:8:21
It's a song about "The Great Flood" and "Noah's Ark".
Rocky Mak
"A," Cartel Length:9:45
The epic follow-up to the preceding song on the album, "Q", it answers all of the songs on Chroma.
Alex
"Sick Puppy," Lemon Demon Length:9:40
This song, originally conceived as a bonus track, starts as an instrumental, morphs into very quiet noise, and back into an actual song with lyrics toward the end.
Incompetentia
"The Day That Never Comes," Metallica Length:7:56
Jessiicah
"I am the Resurrection," Stone Roses Length:8:12
Driving Madchester tune stretched out with an extended freaky instrumental outro.

"Caves," Jack's Mannequin Length:8:19

"It Never Rains," Dire Straits Length:7:59
"It Never Rains" is a track for the 1982 album Love over Gold by the Blues-rock band Dire Straits. The song is the final song on the album. The song displays two distinct sections: the first section which is blues based, and the second second is more progressive. This blends the two major styles present during the album.

"Love Over Gold," Dire Straits Length:6:16
"Love over Gold" is the title track for the 1982 album Love over Gold by the blues rock band Dire Straits. The song is the closest song to reveal any blues characteristics on a relatively progressive album; it is also jazz-tinged in that it prominently features a vibraphone part played by Mike Mainieri.
Mickey D.
"Industrial Disease," Dire Straits Length:5:52
The song takes a look at decline of the British manufacturing industry in the early 1980s, focusing on strikes, depression and dysfunctionality. For example, the absurdity of media-driven maladies is laid out in a segment of the song describing the narrator's visit to a doctor's office for treatment of his "Industrial Disease". The reference to "Brewer's Droop" as a medical condition is an in-joke, referring both to the effect of alcohol on libido and to the band of the same name that Mark Knopfler played in prior to Dire Straits.
