Nothing here says they have to be, Awaken isn't either.
I know. It was a joke based on a discussion that in that other suite-thing that "gave birth" to this thread.

That's true. I think it was only James Baldwin who said they had to be side-long songs. Smile

keep our sand-castle virtues

Hi,

I want to add one ... can I ... maybe 2 if I find the other! They might not come up to 20 but they are both special in their way. The vocals in CB are way beyond what we normally hear.

Capability Brown - Voice ..... "Circumstances (In Love, Past, Present, Future Meet)"
Byzantium - Season's Changing ..... "Something You Said - A Trilogy" (three parts)
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Actually they are. They have several titles/movements but just one song.

^ it's murky sometimes. I guess my criteria is that they either have to be listed as one track or a suite with several movements. Many albums flow well together as concept albums but that doesn't make it a unified suite. I have to draw the line somewhere! Thanks for the suggestions though :)

I'm not convinced that any epic track is always a 'suite'.

ELP - Tarkus
Rush - 2112
Genesis - Suppers Ready
Yes - Close To The Edge
VDGG - A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers
Renaissance - Song Of Scheherazade
Kate Bush - The Ninth Wave
Mike Oldfield - Crisis
Dream Theater - A Change Of Seasons
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Echoes version)
IQ - Harvest Of Souls

I think the difference is that you have to have several sections that can be isolated as 'Songs'. Something like Gates Of Delirium only has one easily isolated section 'Soon', the rest is just fluid with no obvious bridges.

Me neither, but then again, short songs can sometimes be considered suites too, just like the song below. Wink

The Queens - Menopause Rhapsody
