Rooster Circles And Satellites Rarity

— Epic Rocking is the phenomenon where bands release really long songs that either seem to twist and change gears a million times before ending, or just manage to sustain themselves for their prolonged duration. More common in the '60s / rock era and in the '70s period.

Also quite common in many forms of, particularly in the realm of,, and, as well as most forms of music (seriously, in the metal genre—apart from,, and — long tracks are easily more the rule than the exception). This trope is the polar opposite of: Instead of a short song with lyrics and catchy beat that anybody can play, these bands focus on deliberately complex songs where playing is a matter of superior technical skill and everything else is secondary to the instrumental showmanship and considerations of the sound itself, even lyrics. Note There are exceptions, however; were notorious for building epic-length songs on as little as a single chord.. When there are lyrics, expect an to precede them. Songs featuring this trope also often feature, since changing time signatures helps maintain the listener's attention in a longer composition, and (which is the same thing, but for key signatures). Done right, they maintain the listener's attention and sound really cool, sometimes.

Done poorly, they just ramble, cause yawning, and suffer chronic. Put Epic Rocking in a and you have an instant.

This trope also has the subtrope 'Epic Jamming', which is. Only studio versions are included, since live examples would bloat the list to hell. Many of those songs have a for everyone's sake. And for clarity's sake: This is a trope about long songs. Not about awesome songs. Please don't add a short song here because it's awesome (we have for that) or delete a long one because it's not awesome. The trope doesn't apply to compositions either, as any work involving an orchestra can be expected to last from ten minutes up to several hours with very little 'rocking,' although it certainly may be epic.

Also, this trope only applies to songs 6 minutes or more, anything less is too short to qualify. •: 'A Quick One, While He's Away', 'Underture', 'We're Not Gonna Take It', 'Won't Get Fooled Again', 'Who Are You', 'Eminence Front', 'I've Known No War'. • 'The Song is Over' deserves special mention. It's the one song that Pete Townshend has sworn he'll never play at concert, because it would simply be impossible for four people to play all the parts it requires. • The Live At Leeds versions of 'My Generation' and 'Magic Bus' clock in at 15:47 and 7:48, despite being 3 minute songs originally. In live performance, 'My Generation' is regularly extended by incorporating quotations from other songs in their catalogue.

•: As far back as, there was 'Rocket Queen'. I and II had several more, including 'November Rain', 'Estranged', 'Locomotive', and 'Coma'. • 'Paradise City' from Appetite is a possible example, considering it clocks at nearly 7 minutes and gets faster and faster as it goes. • From Chinese Democracy, we have 'There Was A Time', which clocks in at just above 6:30, and two other 6 minute tracks, 'Sorry', and album closer 'Prostitute', which is pretty epic in the same way as 'Paradise City'. Among the fans that actually like Chinese Democracy, 'There Was A Time' is widely considered the most epic song, and during at least one of the concerts found on Youtube (from the LA Forum, December 21, 2011), you can hear the audience shout 'THERE WAS A TIME' at several times, more and more frequently as the concert progresses. •: 'Dahlia,' 'Silent Jealousy,' 'Forever Love,' 'I.V.' , 'The Last Song,' 'Tears', 'Rose of Pain'.

• And then there's 'Art of Life'. 30 minutes studio version, 33 minutes performed live. • 's overblown, symphonic style of rock includes lots of examples: 'Bat Out of Hell', 'I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)', 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light', and so on.

Jim Steinman, Meat Loaf's principal songwriter, coined the term 'Wagnerian Rock' to describe this style, and is at least partly responsible for its epic excess. Witness Steinman's productions for artists like Air Supply ( Making Love Out of Nothing at All), Celine Dion ( It's All Coming Back To Me Now, which Meat Loaf would eventually ), and Bonnie Tyler ( Total Eclipse Of The Heart), and 's willing participation, as producer and lead guitarist on Bat Out Of Hell, are both mysteries that will probably never be solved. • Mother Love Bone: 'Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns' •: 'Cortez the Killer', 'Down By The River', 'Pocahontas'. He and Crazy Horse stretched a live version of 'Cinnamon Girl' out to over 12 minutes.

He's been known to do the same with the live versions of 'Sedan Delivery', 'Like a Hurricane', and 'Barstool Blues'. • The studio version of 'Ordinary People' clocks in at 18:13. That's eighteen minutes without extended guitar solos.

• 'Down by the River' has seen both a 19-minute version (with no less) at Farm Aid 1996 and a 26-minute version at the Rock am Ring festival in 2002. The studio recording is already well over nine minutes, but live renditions tend to end up at least twice as long. • Equally 'Like a Hurricane' has been stretched well past the 20-mark, with Neil playing a variety of instruments in the proces. • 'Cowgirl in the Sand', ten minutes of pure Neil Young goodness.

• A rule of thumb: If the album is credited to & Crazy Horse, chances are good that there will be at least one song that falls under this trope. • In general, the genre is built around this trope. Some acts like may use it less frequently by the genre's standards (which is still pretty often). Others, such as, use it almost exclusively. •: The latter half of 2013 saw the band releasing several extremely lengthy neo-prog/jazz-rock pieces such as '299: Self-Traitor, I Do Bring the Spider Love,' which clocks in at just under 2 and a half hours.

Still other pieces were released as lengthy collections such as 'Quasi Una Fantasia,' which is an hour and 45 minutes. •: They have several epic jams like these: 'Suds & Soda', 'Hotellounge' ( ), 'Theme From Turnpike', 'Fell Off the Floor, Man' ( ), 'Instant Street' ( ). •: 'Karn Evil 9', 'Tarkus', 'Memoirs of an Officer and a Gentleman'. 'The Endless Enigma' (incorporating 'Fugue'), 'The Three Fates', 'Take a Pebble' and 'Pirates' are all shorter but over 10 minutes. •: 'Ars Longa Vita Brevis' and 'Five Bridges Suite' (both featuring orchestral accompaniment) •, being a prog rock band, naturally are great at this. • The self titled debut has a 7 minute cover of 'I See You', and the 6 and a half minute 'Survival'.

• Time and a Word has a 6 minute cover of 'Everydays', the 6 minute 'Astral Traveller', and the 6 and a half minute 'The Prophet'. • The Yes Album, their first album after the shift from to, has the 10 minute 'Yours Is No Disgrace', the 9 and a half minute, 3 part 'Starship Trooper', the 7 minute, 2 part 'I've Seen All Good People', and the 9 minute 'Perpetual Change'.

The 18 minute, 4 part title track, the 10 minute, 4 part 'And You and I', and the 9 minute 'Siberian Khatru'. • Tales from Topographic Oceans is a double album with just four songs (you read that right).

'The Revealing Science of God', 'The Remembering', 'The Ancient', and 'Ritual'. All are 20 minutes.

Some critics claim it's best to regard them as a single 83-minute song that had to be split up for vinyl, although each has its own distinct style. • Relayer only has three songs. 'Sound Chaser' is 9 and a half minutes, and 'To Be Over' is 9 minutes, but the real winner is their then-longest song, the 22 minute (only one part!) 'The Gates of Delirium'. • Going for the One has the 8 minute 'Turn of the Century' and 6 minute 'Parallels', but they are eclipsed by the 15 and a half minute 'Awaken'. • Tormato has the 6 minute 'Arriving UFO', the 7 minute 'Future Times/Rejoice' and the 8 minute 'On The Silent Wings Of Freedom'. • Drama has the 10 minute 'Machine Messiah', the 6 and a half minute 'Does It Really Happen?' , and the 8 and a half minute 'Into The Lens'.

'The Calling' is 7 minutes long, 'I Am Waiting' is 7 and a half, 'Real Love' is 9 minutes, and 'Where Will You Be' is 6 minutes, but the real champion is their first multi-part song since Close to the Edge, the 3 part, 16 minute 'Endless Dream'. • Keys to Ascension is a mostly live album, but the two studio tracks are epics. 'Be The One' is 10 minutes long and 3 parts, and 'That, That Is' is even longer, at 7 parts and 19 minutes.

• The follow up, Keys to Ascension 2 is nothing but apart from the 3 and a half minute 'Sign Language'. In order from shortest to longest, 'Children of Light' is 2 parts and 6 minutes, 'Bring Me to the Power' is 7 and a half minutes, 'Foot Prints' is 9 minutes, and 'Mind Drive' is 18 and a half minutes. • Open Your Eyes has 'New State of Mind', 'Universal Garden', and 'Wonderlove', which are 6 minutes. It also features their new record longest song, 'The Solution'. The song itself only lasts 5 minutes, but leads into 2 minutes of silence that follows into 16 minutes of nature sounds and vocal snippets. Overall, it is 24 minutes. • The Ladder has the 9 and a half minute 'Homeworld', the 6 minute 'Finally', and the 9 minute 'New Language'.

• Magnification contains the 7 minute title track, the 6 minute 'Spirit of Survival', the 8 minute 'Give Love Each Day', the 6 and a half minute 'We Agree', the 11 minute 'Dreamtime' and the 10 and a half minute, 4 part 'In The Presence Of'. • After a 10 year hiatus, Fly from Here has the 7 minute 'Into the Storm', but the real winner is Yes's longest song to date, the 24 minute, 6 part title track. • Most recently, Heaven And Earth has the 8 minute 'Believe Again', the 7 minute 'The Game', the 8 minute 'Light of the Ages', and the 9 minute 'Subway Walls'. •: 'One More Red Nightmare', '21st Century Schizoid Man', 'In the Court of the Crimson King', 'Larks' Tongues in Aspic Pt. 2', 'Pictures of a City', 'Epitaph', 'Starless and Bible Black', 'Fracture', 'The Talking Drum', and more.

• Indeed, the entire album (1969) is epic rocking, with the shortest song being six minutes, and the longest being over twelve. Note that many fans feel the latter track ('Moonchild') is way too long even for King Crimson, since it's two minutes of the actual song followed by ten minutes of instrumental noodling. On the remastered edition, about three minutes of this section were removed. • The B-side of the 1970 album 'Lizard' is 23 minutes long and even has Jon Anderson of Yes. • Also, from their later albums: 'The ConstruKction of Light' (2000) - the titular song and 'Larks' Tongues in Aspic (Part Four)' - and 'Level Five', 'EleKtriK' and 'Dangerous Curves' from 'The Power to Believe' (2003) qualify just as well as the earlier compositions. • 'Larks' Tongues in Aspic' is actually an ongoing rock epic, spanning nearly 30 years and featuring segments on the albums Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Three of a Perfect Pair, and The ConstruKction of Light.

• Speaking of Peter Gabriel, 'Down to Earth' from the soundtrack is almost 6 minutes. • Gabriel's album Up consists almost exclusively of this. There's only one song on it shorter than six minutes. Other examples include 'Biko' (7:26), 'Waiting for the Big One' (7:16), and 'The Family and the Fishing Net' (7:08). • Genesis also composed two other twenty-plus-minute epics, but they ended up getting split on the albums for various reasons, including that the band didn't want them compared to 'Supper's Ready'.

One, which goes for about twenty and a half minutes, consists of 'Dancing with the Moonlit Knight', 'The Cinema Show', and 'Aisle of Plenty', and can be found on Selling England by the Pound.
