I think what he was trying to say is: "I don't like soundscapes"
You see, he's trying to pass of his opinion as a fact.

Probably so, but I'd still like to hear his explanation, it might be interesting in a Treasure Moment-sort of way...
I do agree that Track 13 is not a *song*. Song = Lied, Lied = classical concept of a vocal melody accompanied by instruments and/or other voices. Also, it was never officially identified as a composition (hence the name, or lack thereof), and so it definitely should not be listed in the top 10, but it is worth mentioning. And it's certainly not bad as a soundscape.

Not according to my iTunes or any other machine I've played it on....and it doesn't make much difference to the list anyway :)
And Brenski, yes, you did make a few valid suggestions lol
Does anyone else's top 10 differ from mine?
Fucking itunes! I'm going from what it says on my vinyl.

LOL - not just iTunes, but every other machine I've played it on, remember :)
Your vinyl is probably 5.52 because it skips hehehe
Seriously, though - I know that iTunes could be a little out, but it doesn't really make a difference to the list!!!

One Year Of Love is a pretty long time.

Son and Daughter (7.08) from Queen at the BBC (it's not a demo, nor a remix)

Some people may be making tight clinchers on their lists, but it depends on the mix. The video version of Bo Rhap where the gong fades out in a flash is 5:49, where the Absolute Greatest Remaster is 6:01. Twelve seconds makes a difference, doesn't it, hmm? I can understand why some people are starting to split hairs about lengths of songs.

and don't forget the complete version in Deep Cuts of The March Of The Black Queen, 6:39!

"It's A Beautiful Day (Reprise)" is something of an anomaly any way you look at it.
1) It's a Reprise of the opening track, so not *really* a song unto itself, unlike, say, "In The Lap Of The Gods...Revisited," which *is* its own song, separate from "In The Lap Of The Gods."
2) It's a version of a song mastered into three tracks. It's not really three distinct songs. None of the tracks are numbered the sleeve and the last song listed tells us, in my interpretation, that "It's A Beautiful (Reprise)" is one song, unconventionally mastered. "Track 13" is not an individual piece in the context of the album, it's really "It's A Beautiful Day (Reprise) - Part 3". I view the splitting up of one song into three tracks as a gag by the band, rather than a statement that there are 13 songs on the album instead of 11.
It could be argued either way that this 25 minute and 37 second epic is or isn't their longest "song". The 22 minute and 32 second third part of IABDr is, no contest, the longest "track" on a Queen studio album.
Personally, I think the spirit of the "longest song" criteria excludes extraneous *versions* (remixes, live, demos and re-records). There are 12 minute long live versions of "Brighton Rock," for example. If we stick to the studio albums and maybe the non-Album A-side and B-side studio tracks,
Here are the longest songs as they appear on the CDs I own. Give or take a second or two for mastering differences on different releases:
Q1 - Liar (6:25)
Q2 - The March Of The Black Queen (6:38)
For MOTBQ, I accounted for the vocal overlap with FHLI, as those closing vocals are still part of the song.
SHA - Brighton Rock (5:11)
ANATO - The Prophet's Song (8:21)
ADATR - You Take My Breath Away (5:08)
And no, the closing Fanfare on "Teo Torriate" is not technically part of the song, it's an album outro. It's two pieces on one track.
NOTW - It's Late (6:27)
Jazz - More Of That Jazz (4:20)
The clips of other songs get a pass here because the song title and their use is a play on words: "more of that JAZZ" as in the album, Jazz. If you disagree, "If You Can't Beat Them" at 4:15 is the runner up.
TG - Don't Try Suicide & Save Me (3:52)
FG - The Hero (3:36)
HS - Back Chat (4:36)
TW - Radio Ga Ga (5:48)
AKOM - Who Wants The Live Forever (5:16)
TM - Was It All Worth It (5:45)
Innuendo - Innuendo (6:31)
MIH - Heaven For Everyone (5:35)
TCR - We Believe (6:06)
Longest non-album studio track: Runaway (5:28)
Runner Up: A Dozen Red Roses For My Darling (4:44)

No, but it's still a "such like"...i.e alternative. My list was, as explained, done using the album versions....if we start adding alternates into it, then we're just getting plain silly - the list would end up being full of Bohemian Rhapsodies :)

Yeah, but folk should learn not to complicate things just for the sake of being a pedant. When the guys put their final takes to print, they weren't to know that 20 odd years down the line there would be an "absolute greatest" or "deep cuts" or whatever. So the original is the original, and that's where we should be taking the times from. Seemples!
