The Necks - Abillera

Here's my 20:

Alice Coltrane - Los Caballos
Vladislav Delay - Anima
MFSB featuring The Three Degrees - Love Is the Message (Tom Moulton Mix)
Herbie Hancock - Hornets
Roberta Flack - I Can See the Sun in Late December
Elektronik (Pete Namlook & Material Object) - Planular
Constance Demby - Radiance
Joe Henderson featuring Alice Coltrane - Fire
Wechselspannung - 220 V
Delia Gonzalez & Gavin Russom - Relevée (Carl Graig Remix)
Jon & Vangelis - The Friends of Mr. Cairo
Shades of Orion - Biotrip
Air Liquide - Space Brothers
Marilyn Mazur's Future Song - First Dream
Gas - Königsforst 5
Tetsu Inoue - Bionic Commune
Nina Simone - My Sweet Lord / Today Is a Killer
Kébekélektrik - Bolero
Psychic Warriors ov Gaia - Obsidian (Deconstructure)
K-Hand - You and Me

The Nina Simone song is not a medley, despite the name, it combines the George Harrison song and her own composition into one whole.

Isn't that the definition of a medley?

Against the 80s,

Miles Davis - Shhh/Peaceful
John Coltrane - Africa

were already nominated upthread.

Sorry, the penultimate entry has a typo, it should read:

Psychick Warriors ov Gaia - Obsidian (Deconstructure)

(x-post)

Hallogallo has also already been nominated.

Isn't that the definition of a medley?

I dunno, in my opinion a medley goes like this: Tune A -> segue -> Tube B -> segue -> Tune C -> etc. The different tunes in the medley are mostly separate entitities, they just segue from one to another. "My Sweet Lord / Today Is a Killer", on the other hand, is basically the George Harrison tune with the Nina Simone composition (which I don't think has ever been recorded as a separate song) inserted as a short C part, after which she goes back to "My Sweet Lord" for the rest of the performance. If you're not familiar with the George Harrison's original, you wouldn't even notice the insertion, you'd think it's all one song.

Joni Mitchell, "Paprika Plains"
Fela Kuti, "Shakara"
Primal Scream, "Trainspotting"
John Coltrane, "My Favorite Things"
Ani DiFranco, "Pulse"
Spiritualized, "Won't Get To Heaven (The State I'm In)"
Beth Orton, "Galaxy of Emptiness"

Ah, very sorry - I misread the rules. There are a few more I repeated, I'm afraid :-(

I think this is the full set of duplicates to be removed from my list:

Yo La Tengo - Blue Line Swinger
Of Montreal - The Past is a Grotesque Animal
Neu! - Hallogallo
Neil Young - Cowgirl in the Sand
Television - Marquee Moon
Miles Davis - Shhh/Peaceful
John Coltrane - Africa

Personally I'd say that "classical" is a piece of music with a score that could, theoretically, be played on "standard" instrumentation. So Arvo Part = classical, Alvin Lucier's I Am Sitting In A Room doesn't.

I totally agree with this, I don't think the Pärt piece should count. "Spiegel Im Spiegel" doesn't have any a definite length in minutes, it depends on the performance, plus it has different arrangements by Pärt too. I have one recording of it arranged for cello and piano that only lasts 9 minutes.

Rush - 2112
Bob Dylan - Brownsville Girl

10/20

Where does Steve Reich fit in the 'classical' debate ? If he's allowed I'll swap two of my duplicates for 'Music for a large Ensemble' and 'Octet' ...

Can are so going to suffer from vote-splitting.

Temple Of The Dog - Reach Down
Smashing Pumpkins - Starla
Donna Summer - Try Me I Know We Can Make It
Pram - In Dreams You Too Can Fly

4/20

I'm looking for a 10+ min version of YLT's Blue Line Swinger but haven't come up with anything. Studio version is 9:18.

only "Halleluwah" & maaaaybe "Yoo Doo Right" should get any votes imo (xpost)

I'm thinking carefull about my noms, maybe overthinking, so what the hell, here's one more: Inter Arma's 45-minute single-song Cavern EP from last year, which is probably not better than the best tracks on Sky Burial, but gets the nod for being, did we mention, 45 MINUTES LONG and EFFIN' SWEET THRUOUT

Lou Reed & Metallica - Junior Dad

well i'm voting in this poll now

It's funny to see Steve Reich mentioned since he seems (along with some of the other big-name minimalists, & distinct from John Cage) to have reacted in a unique way to the advent of the "recorded music era", which is of course the inescapable horizon of this thread premise -- in other words, his work looks incomplete when viewed from here. But I love about 4 or 5 discs of that ginormous boxset I picked up for cheap based on ILM buzz, so I'm happy whatever we decide about his eventual eligibility for our silly little poll :P

For a second I misread the OP as Rules: song must be hard & fast & I was like, does Bathory's "Blood Fire Death" count? because it's not very fast by modern standards~

Can are so going to suffer from vote-splitting.

so then vote for more than 1 can song.

Somehow forgot:

It's epictastically epic.

Not sure how disco will fare in this poll, but also:
