A few years ago there was a Godspeed You Black Emperor
session track that was around half an hour long, if my

"O Superman" from 1981/2 is over 8 mins long.
By the American female singer Laurie Anderson.
Surprisingly for such an avant-garde, minimalist
song, it got to number 2 in the main UK chart as
well as the FF.
