Just a few songs that go over 10 minutes. Enjoy! Smile

Funnily enough, turns out there are exactly 10 songs that are longer than 10 minutes...

I'm mainly stuck between Sky Moves Sideways and Anesthetize.

It's not on the list, but the full studio version of Even Less (14+ minutes) is a personal fave. It's in the "Recordings" collection (2001)

Arriving Somewhere is historically my favorite here, but I admit I didn't like it nearly as much when I revisited it recently.  I voted for a relative underdog, Russia on Ice, instead.  Something about that song's lyrics really resonates with me.  If it's really about what I think it's about, anyway.  I'm happy to remain in the dark about that answer.

Agreed. So many good choices here, but ultimately have to go with "Anesthetize." 

By the way, on the most recent Steven Wilson tour, "Radioactive Toy" was an encore song. At least in Boulder, where I saw the show, the version done by the current band was fantastic. I don't know if any of the shows were recorded, but I would love to put may hands on a live recording if for nothing more the version of this tune done by this band.

"Moonloop". Beautiful light parts and eventually a really kicking riff.

I did try out "Even Less" based on Neu!mann's recommendation, and it's fantastic, too.

The Sky Moves Sideways on its Coma Divine version is my favorite one.

Russia on Ice has always been one of my favorites.
Buying New Soul is another fantastic song, though omitted here.

Difficult choice between Radioactive Toy and The Sky Moves Sideways (Coma Divine versions, which are the ones I know). And with a close 3rd slot for Russia on Ice (Warzawa Version). I guess I'll go with The Sky Moves Sideways today, since I'm in a Pink Floyd mood (waiting to get my hands on their new album).
