Great albums over 70 minutes in length
Mansun - Six
Cardiacs - Sing To God (probably my favourite album ever)
Soft Machine - Third
there's more. but I'll sportingly declare at 3. oh, except I'm pre-emptively obliged to state that 'yanqui uxo' is GYBE's masterpiece, so there. and yes, 'david comes to life' is really good
please try to select albums that manage to sustain the brilliance for all 70+

The Magnetic Fields
Mansun
Bob Dylan
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Sonic Youth
Sleep - Dopesmoker
Oneida - Rated O
Triple album. The last song alone is about 20 minutes long. I often think the members of Oneida must constantly thank their lucky stars that the rest of the group ALSO want to make batshit art rock triple albums.
Oneida are so fucking underrated
monsterously good band. psych has never sounded so awesome as weaponised by that band.
Kid Millions is right up there in the pantheon of genius stickspeople.
Mansun - Six (seconded)
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie
Tindersticks - I
Tindersticks - II
Eels - Blinking Lights
M83 - Hurry Up... maybe..
This is a curious category - long albums are going to be either dominated by Best Of collections or Double Albums.
I would put Six and Tindersticks I as two of the finest records ever put to tape.
Eels <3
this for...
Tindersticks I+II
disintegration
I agree
as if it's over 70 minutes
I've never noticed and I've listened to it countless times

(even though it would be better with some of the instrumental/interludey tracks cut out)
Trout Mask Replica
Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime
The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads
Elliot Smith-XO
Mercury Rev - Deserter's Songs
Bought them both on the same day - both 44mins and 46seconds long if memory serves. Spooky.
did you read the thread?
Cunning Larks
Just because you bought them on the same day
doesn't make them one album
Godflesh - pure
Soundgarden - superunknown
Sufjan Stevens - illinois
Electric wizard - dope throne
The Cure - Disintegration
71 mins...
The Age of Adz
Illinois
I didn't mean
to 'this' this - i think both of these albums would be improved by being halved to a pre-diabetes inducing level of sugariness.
Hidden World > David Comes to Life
Sigur Ros - ()
and Agaetis Byrjun too.

was waiting for this one (snivilisation)
Alan Moore's Unearthing
Two and a half beautiful hours.
Hip hop
which ones
I'll start: Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein
Pressed reply to early
would've been a rather vague post!
Hip Hop's time to shine
The Cold Vein, College Dropout/Late Registration, Stankonia/Aquemini, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 1 & 2, Funcrusher Plus, Fantastic Damage, Underground Kingz, De La Soul is Dead, All Eyez on Me, Black on Both Sides, Life After Death, Like Water For Chocolate…
Probably many others. Obviously for similar reasons, there's bargain buckets full of albums that could've been great if they didn't have so much filler.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven
im surprise
it took this long to reach this.
Kozelek!
Sun Kil Moon - April
Red House Painters - Red House Painters (Rollercoaster)
Sometimes I think they're great, sometimes I think some songs go on for 10 minutes too long.
ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space
