What is the longest stretch of road you have spent listening to one song?

One time, I was heading to the Detroit area along I-96. Just as I passed M-6 (Exit 46), the live version of Freebird (14 minutes long) came on the radio. It didn't end until I was near Exit 64.

10 minutes on I-77 in Yadkin County (at 70mph, about 12 miles), listening to "Green Grass and High Tides" by the Outlaws.

Started Genesis' Supper's Ready while on A-40 in Quebec City. I was in Beaupré when it ended.

Hot Rod Hootenanny

22 minutes with Kraftwerk's Autobahn on I-70 east out of Columbus.
Please, don't sue Alex & Andy over what I wrote above

I don't ever repeat songs, so I suppose in my case "2112" by Rush wins by default. I keep that CD in my car, so this has been featured on multiple roadtrips. Just over 20 minutes long.
If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.

Me too, on a trip to Houston TX last year.  A close runner-up would be Iron Maiden's Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, which clocks about 16 or 17 minutes.  These two, along with other lengthy tracks, are often my traveling companions.

Works of classical music are even longer.  On a recent trip to the MS Gulf Coast I listened to Beethoven's 9th Symphony (Ode To Joy), which I think runs close to an hour.

Dream Theatre's Octavarium (24 minutes long) once took me from about Shrewsbury to about the Welsh border on the A5.

I forgot about 2112.  I took a trip from southern Marietta to Lake Alatoona (sp?) and back.  Right about the time I turned on Highway 92 in Acworth, it started and ended as I came back to Marietta.

McMinnville, Oregon to somewhere between Rickreall and Monmouth, OR along OR-99W (~25 miles) while listening to Yes' "The Revealing Science of God".

Classic rock from the 1970s, especially Southern rock, is usually good driving music and quite a few songs from that era approach or exceed 10 minutes in length. I just looked up and listened to Green Grass and High Tides, and it is a very good driving song.

There's an Allman Brothers jam (on Eat A Peach) that lasts 33-and-change minutes.

Mountain Jam, yes, I remember that one.  I love the Allman Brothers, but that song goes on a bit too long. 

Every time I hear the name of that album, for obvious reasons I think about the tragic death of Duane Allman in a motorcycle accident.  One of the greatest at slide guitar, he was.  Died much too young!
