I'd have to echo that, though I think what you mean is that songs that are VERY short (less than two minutes, maybe?) don't appeal to you. However, you are seriously restricting yourself by placing these, frankly ridiculous limits on what you listen to, and pre-judging a song if it's over six minutes. Do you look at playing times, and decide on that flawed basis whether to listen to the song or not?
Incidentally, "Belfast child" is based on an old traditional melody, which you probably won't like either, called "She moved through the fair" (or sometimes "She moves through the fair") --- this is All About Eve's version of it, so you can see how cleverly Simple Minds adapted it. It's only five minutes long, so you have no excuse not to give it a chance.
Incidentally, may I ask if you bother with any classical music, much of which can run to the tens or higher minutes?
And sorry, but I have to say this: based on your judgement shown in this thread, your username doesn't seem very appropriate...
