I notice several people have already noted "Garden Of Dreams" by The Flower Kings, which is an amazing epic clocking in at nearly an hour.
Also of notability, Neal Morse's ?, Drem Theater's "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence", the aforementioned Thick As A Brick, Part I of Neal Morse's Testimony (since the album as a whole is really five seperate parts, the first being about 40 minutes), and once it comes out, Porcupine Tree's "Fear Of A Blank Planet" which is supposed to run seamlessly as if it were one song.

-Marc.
I know what I like and I like what I know. I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose free will. If I die tomorrow, I`d be alright because I believe that after we`re gone, the spirit carries on.

Echolyn - "Mei" (49:33)

The only song in "Mei" album. And it's really great. I'm really suprised that nobody mentioned it before .

I'm quite sure there's a song by sludge gods Moss that's three hours long and comes on a pair of 45 minute tapes. of course that's nothing to do with prog...

the lone track from Fantomas' Delirium Cordia is 73 minutes long and it's a lovely horrific soundscape and I'm sure all the reviews will stress.

A rather interesting story that might be of interest: John Cage "As Slow as Possible"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_Slow_As_Possible

"It was originally a 20-minute piece for piano, but a group of musicians and philosophers decided to take the title literally and work out how long the longest possible piece of music could last.

They settled on 639 years because the Halberstadt organ was 639 years old in the year 2000."

Mind you, there have been some VERY long pauses in the music.  Now if only it could be done on a mellotron. LOL

Not considering songs that have been cuted because of Lp-sides (thick as a brick for example), but featured entirely as one song on a CD:
 
The ones I remember:
 
57 Min: My favourite things - John Coltrane (live in Japan)
+50 min: Xhol Caravan - Freedom Opera (altena 69)
44 Min: Allman Brothers - Mountain Jam (live at ludlow garage)
35 Min: Deep Purple - Wring That Neck (Scandinavian Nights)
30 Min:  Grobschnitt - Symphony Live
33 Min: Pyramid - Dawn Defender
35 Min: Miles Davis - Call it anything (isle of wight)
 
Nothing to do with prog or rock, (arabic):
 
Oum kolthom - almost all is +50 minutes ;-)
57 Min:  Abdel halim hafez - Kariat el fingan live
33 Min: Ziad Rahbani - Bil Afrah
