Oasis: "Married With Children". Should have added a little bit of bass, a couple more details in the arrangement and some backing vocals as well to make it really good.

i don't get why 'i'm in love with a girl' should be longer. it's a perfect, concise length for such a simple tune.

Songs I often think I'd like to be longer, and then second guess that maybe they really are as long as they need to be:

"Lazy Day" - Boo Radleys
"Extra Kings" - Avanlanches
"I'm So Tired" - Fugazi

Pretty much ever one of those short little Boards of Canada sketches. Then again there's probably a reason why they're short.

Pink Floyd - The live version of "Astronomy Domine" on Ummagumma, specifically Rick Wright's solo organ section.

Hideous Lump, Saturday, 19 October 2013 23:15 (ten years ago) link

I could listen to the coda of Portishead's Machine Gun for twenty times as long as it actually is.

Eddie Kendricks' 'Walking in the Rain' should be longer - ideally about 10 minutes longer.

otis redding - "try a little tenderness"

sean gramophone, Friday, 10 February 2017 09:44 (seven years ago) link

been listening to Talk Talk's 'The Colour of Spring' a lot recently. The closing track 'Time It's Time' could go on a lot longer in my opinion.

miley cyrus - 4x4

I mentioned this in the other thread, but IMO it's ridiculous that Minnie Riperton's "Les Fleur" has one of the best, most gloriously beautiful choruses in all of Western pop music, yet it's played only twice in the entire song before the it fades out!

I also remember being disappointed to learn that there's no extended version of Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman", which at 4 minutes is way too short for such a disco epic. There is a long house remix from the '80s, but that doesn't satisfy the same need, I'm surprised no one has made a proper old-school disco edit of it.

It was sampled on Dubtribe's 10m+ 'Do It Now' though (in turn inspiring The Juan Maclean's 'Happy House') - someone has probably put all three in a mix at some point.

"Strawberry skies" by Games is way too short. Needs at least one other rep of the"you can give me everything you got" part (or whatever it is she sings)

Current 93 - "Bind Your Tortoise Mouth"
Robert Pollard - "To The Path"
Robert Pollard - "Cats Love A Parade"

Both the Pollard songs end on a quieter note than I would have liked.

Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 10 February 2017 16:30 (seven years ago) link

That entire Games EP for sure

nashwan, Friday, 10 February 2017 16:33 (seven years ago) link

Bowie - 'Chant of the Ever-Circling Skeletal Family'. Always drives me nuts how great a groove that is and how short a time it's actually sustained.

Prince - New Position

two proper old-school disco edits.
