Basiclly you have to find a song that goes longer than 4-5 mins. Just write the song, how long it goes for and who sung it. Ill start:

American pie eight and a half minutes long, by Don McLean.
Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother - 23 min
Pink Floyd - Dogs - 17 min
Bob Dylan - Highlands - 16 min
Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile - 15 min
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - O'Malley's Bar - 14min
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond - 13min
Supertramp - Try Again - 12min
Kid Rock - Black Chick, White Guy - 12min
The Doors - The End - 11 min
Bob Dylan - Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands - 11min
The Cure - Watching Me Fall - 11min
Temple Of The Dog - Reach Down - 11min

Yeah, songs over 5 minutes long aren't very rare, especially in some genres, like metal. I don't think it's worth mentioning unless it's over 7 minutes.

Here are two more 7+ songs.

The Tempest, by Pendulum 7:28.
War Pigs, by Black Sabbath 7:55.

Long tracks are rather common in ambient music, some neo-classical, some instrumental rock; post-rock; post-metal and drone metal. The latter has the longest, such as Thaumogenesis, which I already mentioned. Nadja's tracks are usually 15-25 minutes long, which is not rare at all for their genre.

If I had access to my music library, I could post lots and lots of such titles.

Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull is long.
The first part is 22 minutes about, and the second part is 21 minutes. I believe the break is there because that is where the record flip is supposed to happen.

I can name two at the moment:

23 by Jimmy Eat World

Goodbye Sky Harbor by Jimmy Eat World

23 is 7:23 long, and Goodbye Sky Harbor is 16 minutes.

They're both pretty awesome, in my opinion

Um, quite a few come to mind:

2112 by Rush
Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull
Octavarium by Dream Theater
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence by Dream Theater
Supper's Ready by Genesis
The Whirlwind by Transatlantic (the longest one I know... it lasts around 70 minutes I believe)

...and a lot others I can't remember atm. They all tick above 20 minutes.
