Ultimate Classic Rock website names "The 40 Long Songs": https://ultimateclassicrock.com/long-rock-songs/ Can't believe that the late Isaac Hayes "Walk On By" (late 1969) & "Do Your Thing" (from the "Shaft" 1971 movie soundtrack) did not make the cut.

I'm sure that DJs love these tracks, especially those from the "Free Form" "Underground" days circa 1969. The long singles were enough for bathroom breaks. Who knows what went on during those whole album sides? Didn't some movie or TV crime drama episode have a story about a DJ who murdered somebody while playing a long album side as an alibi?
