Default Pointlessly long songs?

I was just listening to The Diamond Sea by Sonic Youth and the song is like 3 minutes long but then it goes on for about 17 minutes more with just 'noise'. I say if bands want to make long songs there has to be a point to them being long like The Trilogy last track on Daydream Nation.

Any other examples of bands just going several minutes too far?
