I tend to like long songs. Way back when I remember loving November Rain, then all of Metallica's 8:00 epics. So song length usually doesn't bother me. On of my favorite songs is Mother Sky by Can, and that's 14:28 (but you know a song's good when it's 14 minutes and most peoples summaries of it have nothing to do with its length).
At any rate. Songs that were too long for their own good...
I Feel So Alive (or whatever) by POD. The chorus just kept repeating for what felt like forever. Ugh.
Dark Star by the Grateful Dead. Maybe I've been spoiled by super-catchy long guitar songs (Maggot Brain, Machine Gun, Mother Sky, etc why do these songs all start with M?) but this song just went on for 23 minutes and never did anything particularly worth of that much time.
Well I can't think of any more glaring examples. Like I said, I usually like songs to be really lengthy. If it was a bad song at 3:00, it's a bad song at any length, in my opinion.
