Why do I suspect Vanilla has been editing my posts.

I'm pretty sure it was Burning Down.

We both know that isn't true, don't we Jessica.

Hehe I don't kiss and tell.

Dio vocals do make songs feel longer to me. I think anyone would have that perception when the singing voice is unpleasant to the listener's ear. (I would also argue that many Dio songs are lyrically and musically repetitive.)

For what it's worth, I like keyboards. In fact, the few Dio songs I don't mind have keyboards

A long song can be a masterpiece. Too often it's self-indulgence instead.

Also, I've been listening to music for a few decades. I'm not some loudmouth teenager.

I was wrong about Richard Marx!

He does have at least one long song, "Keep Coming Back." I'm very used to the radio version and unfortunately I lost my copy of the CD, so I forgot all about that. Even the radio version is too long. The full version's intro drags a bit, and its end goes on and on like a jazz medley. Radio programmers knew how to handle that.

Also, I just noticed that "Wherever I May Roam," by Metallica, is over 6 minutes, and I've always slightly liked it. Would like more if shorter and less repetitive, yes

That depends on a song, Tortoise - Djed - 20 min long, feels like breeze.

There is an easy way for you to enjoy long songs and that is after 6 mins to just press stop and move onto the next song, end of problem.
