Pointlessly long songs? (jazz, album, doors, offspring, solo)

This isnt a song But on Coheed and Cambria's In keeping secrets of a secret earth:3 album they have 11 songs called A Lot Of Nothing and then marked I through XI...they each average about 5 or 6 seconds long...

NIN has a CD with 99 tracks and tracks 7-98 are total silence

Tool did a similar thing on Undertow but it isn't really pointless they wanted the record to be 69:11.

Poison - Guitar Solo

Music this bad technically shouldn't exist in the first place...to paraphrase Guitar World, "It's like listening to your friend keep screwing up while trying to play Eruption, except in this case he's got a stadium full of idiots cheering him on."

And for the record, I've never heard any Sonic Youth noise that I don't like at least some. Diamond Sea is a great song, noise and all.

/\ LOL I've never heard it before but thats ****ing awesome.

Sound Devastation · 06-26-2006, 04:16 PM

loads of bands use piano..

and quite a few have 40 min + songs!

one of my favourite songs actually, 'Cusp' by everlovely lightningheart is 41 mins. Moss' The Gate is the longest i own, at 44 mins, but is unlistenable most of the time :P
but never pointless.

And how many of them are as good as dream theatre or have achieved the same level of success as dream theatre.

how 'good' depends on your personal definition of the word :P

and success should never be a way to judge music.
