Such open-ended statements.  I suppose you'll get out your
sympathetic hearings for:

Pink Floyd - "Echoes", 23.31  minutes
Arlo Guthrie - "Alice's Resteraunt", about 20 minutes,
M. Python  - "I like traffic lights", about 15 minutes before I shot the thing


//// (actually, "Echoes" is my favorite Floyd song, so maybe you have something
      there... they also had "Dogs" and "Atom Heart Mother", both at about 17 m)
