Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit

2 Minutes and 32 seconds? what a fucking travesty. it ends so abruptly. would one more verse have killed them? sometimes 2 and half mins is enough for a song...but this isn't one of them.

    Neil Young - Needle And The Damage Done. Sweet song and way too short, I always end up playing it twice.

    It kills me how short this song is - especially live in concert. I wish this song were 3 times longer.

    yeah but a lot of Beatles tunes fit perfectly with the limited time. I said White Rabbit earlier because it seems that for that song in particular, 2:32 just isn't enough. it could have been an epic, Zeppelin-style song. now as for the Beatles, take a song like Back in the USSR. it's only about 2:40 but they fit everything that needs to be fit into it in that time. same could be said for Yesterday and Eleanor Rigby, both of which run just over 2 minutes. and many of their pre-Rubber Soul songs would have just ended up being repetitive if they ran longer.

    Lukin is perfect the way it is.

    It still pisses me off to this day that the studio Comfortably Numb ends on a fade out. That's just ridiculous.

    agreed.

    Soundgarden's Ty Cobb is the first one my list. There should be another minute of the mandola (or whatever it is) soloing at the end.

    also, the rocking part of Led Zeppelin's Bring It On Home comes to mind.

    This is a perfect example of why I hate fade outs. Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion and Draw The Line are two others. Neil's Cortez The Killer and Cowgirl In The Sand come to mind, as does Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love. There are way too many great Zappa tunes that fade out too.

    Tourette's. I always want one more verse, and I've heard them do it live so I know it's better :)

    bron-yr-aur by led zeppelin off graffiti. i always wish that they made that into a full song with lyrics and everything. to me, that song is an "intro" to "down by the seaside." the two songs blend perfectly, but i would be interested to see that song as a full song.
