Are There any long songs that people are especially fond of? I don't want To Put To many rules around this
but I guess a cutoff point could be roughly seven minutes.

A Couple Of Mine:

Jessica / Allman Brothers
Marque Moon / Televison. (The guitar jam in it is as hard as anything I've ever heard. I always thought it deserved more AOR play but it was not to be.)

"Whaling Stories" - Procol Harum, off the album Home, memorably performed on Live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra
"Time Has Come Today" - The Chambers Brothers (The long version, obviously)
"Cortez the Killer" - Neil Young & Crazy Horse, off the album Zuma. Marvelously covered by the Aussie band The Church off the album A Box of Birds

"I'd Do Anything for Love" by Meat Loaf (the 12 minute version). Basically Meat Loaf's entire catalog could qualify.

Meatloaf (the dish) takes a long time to cook just like Meat Loaf (the singer) takes a long time to get through a song.

"Dogs" and "Low Spark..." are great choices. The Doors had a few worth noting, including "The End" and "When The Music's Over".
