It seems everyone has an opinion about the Calgary radio stations choice to adopt the new QuickHitz editing program, writes G&B writer Vanessa Azzoli.
We certainly cant forget the rock songs we love (and sometimes love to hate) that need to be listened to in their full length in order to be awesome. Ive put together a list of some of my favourites. There are some obvious choices on here I think every person I asked said Stairway to Heaven.
But, there are some on here that I think most of us forgot about. What are your favourite lengthy rock tunes?

Listen to Live At Pompeii and watch the whole documentary. That will blow you away.
Have watched that live at Pompei a bunch..great performance
Would have thought someone would have mentioned Stevie Nicks
by now.
I got it off limewire a few years ago. ;-)
And you are right. It did!
Sweet Wine - Cream - ginger baker
Indeed it is. Somehow I ended up with the session recordings. All 20 songs are pretty impressive.
Cheers
Was their ‘71 Live at The Fillmore the one with “MudShark”? And So Happy Together with the former Turtles? I don’t remember Peaches en Regalia being on that. There is a lot I don’t remember.
Number Nine - John Lennon and somebody
Retrospective - Buffalo Springfield
Sorry, screwed that up. Meant to say Morrison Hotel - The Doors
Eight Miles High---Golden Earing
Who Do You Love---Quicksilver Messenger Service
Hocus Pocus---Focus (the only hard rock band I am aware of with a decent yodeler)
Don't Try to Lay No Boogie-Woogie on the King of Rock and Roll---Long John Baldry
...and as someone else mentioned...a few cuts from The Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East...
Jan Akkerman is one of the greatest guitarists that few have ever heard of.
Yes. Flo and Eddie. Peaches was the second to last song on that record... somewhere in my vinyl collection I have the first pressing of that LP. I often listen to that album and really wish I was there.
Thick as a brick, Tull
I am not a big Stones fan, but that is a good tune.
The Stones and my town have an interesting love affair. They for most of their tours here, and part of their prep is to show up at a club and play a set, usually with only a couple of hours’ notice. Also, Keith Richards credits his heroin bust here for saving his life.
Thunderclap Newman - Something in The Air
Baba O’Riley - The Who
Remember the original long song: Bohemian Rhapsody. Radio stations originally thought it was nuts to play the whole 5:55 minutes of it, without any cuts.
