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:

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.

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.
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.
