Anyone Else Dislike Most Long Songs?

Is that like 40 minutes of "One Minute"
or 25 minutes of "Two Minutes" or
are you just saying that life is boring?

Oh, yes! I'm quite familiar with this work, but the length is determinate.

Says John Cage, maker of boring music.

Who DO you like out of curiosity?

Pop-rock, pop, rock, alternative. From Ozzy to Depeche Mode. Of the artists I like, only a few have a reputation for length - Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Yes, Pink Floyd- and I dislike most of their long stuff and barely own any of it.

Which is pretty much 85% to 90% of their entire catalog.

Hardly. Boring if you're not into more avant-garde music, but Cage had a lot of interesting, sometimes innovating concepts in his compositions.

The thing that surprises me is that you'd think his bite-sized prepared piano Sonatas and Interludes would be perfect for someone who hates long songs.

I think I confused John Cage with some gravelly-voiced singer-songwriter. Although I doubt I'd like Cage.

I like much of Pink Floyd's material from The Wall to the end (although The Final Cut is mediocre). Some of those songs run slightly long and to me drag a bit, but.... I don't think Gilmour-era material was intentionally long like a psychedelic jam.
