10 Classic Rock Songs That Push The 7-Minute Mark

2. Station To Station - David Bowie

http://youtu.be/ZY77zDzNmYw Bowie€™s damn lucky to be on this list, as the title track from his cocaine-induced album takes a whole minute to actually start, and another two minutes for Bowie to open his mouth. Beginning with an alarmingly processed sound of a steam train zooming by at full speed, the song creeps in and barely struggles to make it for the full ten minutes €“ it€™s almost as if Bowie and the band were both trying to play their instrument while snorting a toot or two at the same time throughout. But it remains a chilling masterpiece in dragged out/drugged up rock and roll, proof that Bowie could not only survive the post-glam music scene, but dominate it, just like he did with a fair chunk of musical styles in the 1970€™s.
