Favorite song longer than 10 minutes
I normally don't like songs that are this long. But lately I found a few that I do enjoy. Yes, they're all from Vektor's album Black Future, which might just be my favorite metal album at this point (I have listened to it basically every day for several days in a row now and just can't get enough). Accelerating Universe, which clocks in at around 13 minutes, is an absolute masterpiece. There are enough ideas to fill that space, and they are all executed perfectly, and the pacing is just right, so it still feels like a coherent track.
What are some of your favorite 10+ minute songs? I assume there will be a lot of Theocracy answers, lol.

Listening to Vektor’s Accelerating universe, finding it kind of hard to take seriously the way he sometimes squeals like a little girl who saw a spider. I do like their song Recharging the Void though

If Prince were merely just a guitar player, he would still be famous and one of the most influential of the 80's. Probably up there with The Edge.

Re: Favorite song longer than 10 minutes
immediately thought of my favorite jam "The Further Adventures Of..."
by Phil Keaggy, featuring Glass Harp drummer John Sferra. from my
understanding it was "start recording and jam" live in the studio...
incredible
Phil Keaggy - The Further Adventures Of... (album version - 12:44)
https://pk-deluxestudiovocalalbums.bandcamp.com/track/the-further-adventures-of-2
and here's the unedited (and I would say even better) version that I didn't even
realize I had on a download "bonus disc"

Re: Favorite song longer than 10 minutes
For Christian musc, I think mine would be THEOCRACY I AM. For mainstream, DREAM THEATER has several songs that are good. Generally, 10 minute singa are too long. If a band writes a song longer than 7 minutes, trim it diwn and take out the unnecessary parts - trim off the fat.
