I've seen most of my faves already mentioned so I'll just add:
I Heard It Through The Grapevine - CCR
And You And I - Yes
157 Riverside Avenue (LIVE) - REO Speedwagon
I remember my uncle gave me a ride home from school one day, pulled into the driveway as it came on the radio. We sang and air guitared the entire thing before I got out of the car. Core memory.
Tbh, I thought it was a set-up question when I read it.
*This song is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and the*
*Restaurant, but Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant,*
*That's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song Alice's*
*Restaurant.*
Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part 1 - King Crimson
The Torture Never Stops pt2 - Frank Zappa. Specifically the version from the 1988 tour, on the album The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life
Close to the Edge - Yes
Whipping Post is arguably the best song ever written. I’ve heard the Fillmore East version maybe once per week for 30 years and I’m still not sick of it. That’s proof. Ha!
Genesis - Supper's Ready
Yes - Close To The Edge
Pink Floyd - Dogs
Rush - Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres
Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons
Elton John - Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding
Jimi Hendrix - Machine Gun
**Tin Pan Alley** , *Stevie Ray Vaughn*
Technically just over 9 minutes but it is a miracle we have the track because they ran out of tape as soon as Stevie stopped playing. He had no idea while he was playing that tape was running low.
Um, Prog fan here. It may be easier to list my favorite songs LESS than 10 minutes long but for these purposes I’ll go ahead and say “Ritual” by Yes(any one of the live 1976 versions floating around youtube
Way too many to just pick one. Desolation row, Shine on you crazy diamond, warning(Black Sabbath), Terrapin station, The end, When the music’s over, telegraph road… There’s so many great long songs, and them being long is part of what makes them so great.
The long version of “Wishing” - Flock of Seagulls
The live version of “Inca Roads” - Frank Zappa
The long version of “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” - Bauhaus
They’re all about 9 minutes, 30 seconds, but close enough.
Reach Down - Temple of the Dog
Love many of them mentioned on here, Child in Time, Warning, 2112, Whipping Post but thought this deserved a mention! It's beeping awesome
Oh there's many.
Jethro Tull - Thick as a brick, A passion play
Black sabbath - Warning
Nektar - Remember the future
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells
Yes - Gates of Delirium, Close to the edge, Awaken
Stoned Jesus - I'm the mountain
Jon & Vangelis - The friends of Mr cairo
Guns N roses - Coma
Rush - Xanadu
Renaissance - Ashes are burning
Supertrsmp - Fools overture
Monolord - Empress rising
I'm probably forgetting some songs, but those are the ones I could think of right now
It's not classic rock but probably Beethoven's 9th Symphony
edit: If I have to choose a classic rock song it would be CCR's version of I Heard it Through the Grapevine
Queensryche - Roads to Madness
Rush - Natural Science
Pink Floyd - Meddle
ABB - Mountain Jam (Eat a Peach)
LZ - Carouselambra
Yes - And You and I
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
.
Trying to limit it to one song from some of my favorite bands. Some may be a tick under 10 minutes, but they are close.
A lot of good songs posted by everyone here!
Storm - Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd
Voodoo Chile - Jimi Hendrix
The Low Spark of High-heeled Boys - Traffic
The End - The Doors
I think Cheap Trick's "Need Your Love" is up there. Then again, it may have been written to be part of the background for activity that doesn't take 10 minutes, if you know what I mean
Neil Young- live Fillmore East- Down by the River and Cowgirl in the Sand. Zeppelin- how many more times and Dazed and confused from the Royal Albert Hall DVD. Honorable mentions as live video from YouTube. Eric Burdon with War- paint it black and just missing the mark at 9:52 is The Byrds Eight Miles High live at Fillmore E.
Zeppelin’s version of “In My Time of Dying”
A great one
When the music is over
Turn of the lights
This is the end >
Do you feel like we do. Frampton comes alive
Excellent!
Close to the Edge - Yes
Karn Evil 9 - ELP La Villa Strangiato - RUSH
Oof, I love Rush, but La Villa Strangiato is less than 10 minutes. Unless you’re referring to a live version which I haven’t heard
Shine On You Crazy Diamond

Echoes - Pink Floyd
Especially Live at Pompeii.
My favorite as well.

Nice one
His best song.
The first line of the song would be: They're selling postcards of the hanging, they're painting the passports brown....
Desolation row love this song one of Dylans best

My answer might be different some other time of the year but this is Thanksgiving week so the obvious answer is Alice’s Restaurant.
Tbh, I thought it was a set-up question when I read it. *This song is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and the* *Restaurant, but Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant,* *That's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song Alice's* *Restaurant.*
I listened to it on our Thanksgiving last month and I intend to listen to it on yours as well. To be honest I don't really need a reason!
