Anyone Else Dislike Most Long Songs?

One thing I concluded from this thread is that you would never survive as a music major!

I think length doesn't matter, it depends on the songs lyric. Nobody concentrate on length of a music but they must concentrate of its moral thing.

The only way I see where time is relevant would be listening to a whole song before you can appreciate it fully as a piece.

If you need patience to listen to a song then obviously it's just endurance to the ear. Why waste time listening to song you find unpleasant or unenjoyable to begin with? In that regard it's the grip of the song rather than the length of the song that's the issue.

Usually when listening to a song I enjoy the whole way through, I'm not even aware of the time it takes.

Tbh this subject is the most trivial reason to like or dislike a song.

^ Usually it's just space to manoeuvre around when it's convenient. I agree.

with prog and jazz fusion, it's the longer the better, for me, actually

Then maybe there is a prog formula (that doesn't appeal to most people). There probably is a format for classical, but classical is sort of out of the context of this thread.

Why's that? Classical is as good of a genre as any. You're talking about music and all genres are involved.

Oh for the love of the great good God! How can you seriously make a claim like that? Do you know how many fans the genre has? How popular it is? How dare you assume you know what "most people" like, or don't! How arrogant!

Why? Classical and all of its many sub genres are not out of context in any music discussion, in my opinion.

I'm still waiting to be convinced that the length of the song is a deciding factor, because regardless of the debate i'm in with wisdom and vegangelica, I have still been given no proof to believe that it has anything to do with how one listens to music. If it's just personal preference, I can understand that. But i'm not seeing any proof.
