More to the point, how's this for a roll of honour:

Vatican Broadside - Half Man Half Biscuit, 2001                    30 seconds
Dr Dre Buys a Pint of Milk (AKA The Minute) - Grandmaster Gareth, 2003    1 minute
Go to Rhino Records - Wild Man Fischer, 1976                    1m 03s
Open Field - Maher Shalal Hash Baz, 2003                          1m 23s
All Nighter - Elastica, 1995                                                 1m 33s
Bob Wilson Anchorman - HMHB, 2001                                1m 36s
Rebel Without a Pause - Evolution Control Committee, 1998    1m 38s

Or, to paraphrase the Lester Bangs character in 'Almost Famous', How can Half Man Half Biscuit achieve in 30 seconds what it takes Pink Floyd 23 minutes and 32 seconds NOT TO ACHIEVE...?

best wishes all :-)
