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?

Theres a point to noise. Its just a different style of music... and no music is pointless.

I can't listen to any of their albums without falling a sleep. I actually saw them live a while ago with a friend. They're actually really amazing live. I didn't feel tired at all.

One of the first thigns that intrigued me abuot the band is that hey have a pianist. They use the piano. Usually when you think or rock bands you don't think of pianos. But they have a piano. And Jordan Rudess rocks. Him and John Petrucci are two of my favorite musicians of all time. I still can't believe how long their songs are sometimes. 42 minutes!

Any song you have to go through silence to find the hidden track. What a bitch that is.
