    "B-Boy Bouillabaisse" by the Beastie Boys off of Paul's Boutique is a classic, its like 5 songs mashed into one. Hello Brooklyn!

    Yep, no doubt. Very valid.

    There is one Dire Straits' epic that I considered, but not Tunnel of Love.
    My choice would be Telegraph Road. To me, that is Knopfler at his best.

    Yeah, "Telegraph Road" is a great song as well - can't go wrong with either one. "Once Upon a Time in the West" is also right up there - the entire "Alchemy" album is fantastic.

    Knopfler is a truly under-appreciated artist - the guy is an excellent songwriter, not only with Dire Straits but with soundtracks (Local Hero, Princess Bride) and is a great guitar player.

    Elton John's "Funeral for a Friend"

    I don't know if this counts but Joe Jackson did a live medley of motown songs which is great and lasts about 15 minutes.

    "Foreplay/Long Time" by Boston is a classic but I don't think it quite gets to 11 minutes.
    Ah Chico, Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding is one of my all-time favorites. The buildup and transition from Funeral into LLB sends chills down my spine. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find anyplace where I can download it.

    Anything by Celine Dion. Wait, those aren't good. But that woman is so painful to listen to that all her songs seem like they last much longer than 11 minutes. It's kind of like watching Keanu Reeves try to act.

    Try the public library if you're in Cincy. They probably have it. If not, maybe the one where you live might have it. Itunes has it but you have to buy the entire album.

    Not sure if it goes 11 minutes but Traffic's "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" is a classic.

    Yep, nick, it qualifies...and is an excellent contribution to the thread, sir!

    Dream Gerrard from When the Eagle Flies and Roll Right Stones from Shootout at the Fantasy Factory are other excellent "Traffic" classics of qualifying length.
