Longest Prog Song Titles

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Criteria:
☑The title must be in English
☑The title must not contain all subsections of the song listed

Here's my examples:

Flower Kings - The Unorthodox Dancing Lesson
Tangent - The Cantrebury Sequence Volume 2 Ethanol Hat Nail

but the longest song title that takes the highest trophy is...

Eela Craig - Remove another hat of glass and you could easily find assorted kinds of Cheese

	Long song titles (or long filenames in general) can create problems in computer file systems. I sometimes wonder if that is why some artists use long song titles... as a very simple defense against copyright violation.

Da dove il suo sguardo scruta l'orrizonte per l'eternità sino al dorato si sibari" from the excellent one shot Divae's CD Determination from 1995 English translation : Gargantua blasphemes God and is transformed into a giant of stone placed to guard the den of the dragon of Altomonte... from where his gaze scrutinizes the horizon for eternity until the golden sea of Sibari Edited by mellotronwave - January 02 2024 at 17:35
