This really hits home when you realize you've picked one of these to sing at kareoke. Most egregious offender: Moster Magnet - Space Lord. I got bored AND hoarse. David Bowie - Cat People (yes it's been so long so long so long and I've been putting out fire over and over and over and over.) Elvis Costello - watching the Detectives ends just in time. You would think with 18 na na nana na na nana na na na na nanas at the end that Everlast - Black Jesus would get old, but I haven't found it so, and, as long as I carry intensity though it to the end, folks really seem to enjoy it.
irseg - I disagree. I can see that it is a matter of taste, though, so lets leave it there.
MPower, I think you're missing something in Sympathy; Keith is doing some really nifty guitar work behind all the woo wooing.
DJTestudo (the turtle moves!) & FoolThemAll, Hey Jude's like that too, only it's a crescendo going on with more layers of music for each of the 23 or so repetitions, and the same deal with Journey - Lovin', Touchin' Squeezin'. Another one that goes on superficially far too long, but which the repeated lyric is over some really awesome interplay between the bassist and guitarist is The Stone Roses - Love Spreads, which also has a sweet intro, very similar to Evenflow.
Freebirds is a jam. Live it could ideally go on forever, just switching out musicians. Not my favorite jamming song, but passable. Innagaddadavida is like that too, not very good, but passable. For the extra long jams, though, Phish and the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers are really where it's at. They go on and on and on and usually hold my attention.
