    +1 for the Stranglers, their version of Walk On By is a belting tune as well.

    Anything by Yngwie Malmsteen is too long. :wink:

    And then you put in the milk.

    Can't believe that no one has mentioned Porcupine Tree, particularly by those referencing Rush, Floyd et al. Too many good ones to single out, but try the Deadwing or In Absentia albums.

    Another Vote for Juanita / Kiteless / to Dream of Love, hard to believe that album is 13 years old.
    There's loads of long Orb mixes of my fave track, but I like the Adam Freeland version of Fluffy Clouds quite alot.

    Adding [The long version of] Fools Gold, and I am the Resurrection - The Stone Roses, to the list.

    Whenever it's played on the radio the full version never seems to be used, though. :(

    No-one appears to have mentioned it yet so I'll add Ride's Leave Them All Behind to the list - superb track!
