You might want to exclude prog rock. Long songs are the norm rather than the exception. Jethro Tull thick as a brick, for instance, or a lot of Yes stuff.

So stuff like Alice's Restaurant, Disco Inferno, Madonna's "Up Down Suite", songs that aren't long just for the sake of being long? I read Wikipedia's entry of prog-rock, and there's no mention of the Alan Parsons Project (Turn of a Friendly Card, Fall of the House of Usher). Albums with long songs are hard to come by where I live. (there's only a handful of stores in my city that sell records, and it took me a while to even find Alice's Restuarant.)
