Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion or not but there is literally no reason for any song to be longer than like 5-6 minutes (edit: I think my hard cutoff point is 6 minutes, as people have pointed out, bohemian rhapsody is over 5 mins and that’s a great song). Maybe only excluding a game soundtrack or something because then it’s long for a purpose. Like you can’t play it at a social event or on the aux or something cause then everyone’s just stuck listening to the same song for nearly 10 mins almost. Even if it’s a song I personally like (for example, dance yrself clean or stairway to heaven) I still listen to them and think fucking hell this is going on a bit, and end up skipping parts (sometimes). I have a really strong appreciation for music, but man, idk why any artist feels the need to make such long songs. And 9/10 times there’s absolutely no reason for them to be that long, they just replay the same parts like 500 times with the same amount of payoff that could have been in a 3-4 min song. Most of the time it doesn’t feel like they had so much inspiration for a particular song that they had to fit it into that much time, since most of the time it’s just the same parts repeated way too many times. (Also thanks for the song suggestions guys will lowkey listen and see if they change my mind- also (this is *not* a Reddit award/ karma speech edit btw lmao) I appreciate everyone being open to discussion and suggestions instead of just insulting me or something- I am very open to changing my mind so feel free to drop songs you enjoy! This is simply based on songs that I have heard, obviously, so perhaps I’ll find new songs that change my mind in this thread).
