G'n'R - Coma, Estranged and November Rain.
Underword - Juanita as mentioned already. Love that tune and that album still stands up. I'd also say Dark and Long (Dark Train), brilliant.

Undoubtedly the the Ramones were masters of the long song. Such classics as "the KKK took my baby away" and "now I wanna sniff some glue" are brilliant examples of songs that seemingly never end. Fantastic stuff.
