It's only about 9 minutes... but gotta throw "Bye Bye Miss American Pie" into that one. Pontiac did a pretty good commercial where a guy was sitting in his car waiting for the end of that song (singing along) while his girlfriend was outside waiting for him to get out of the car.

Another one I personally hate that I like is "Alice's Resteraunt".

One that I do like, though technically it's two songs: "Broone's Bane/Trees" by RUSH.

Hehehe... and Technically, Side 1 of 2112 is all one song.

Not quite 10 minutes, but the greatest song of all time is Kashmir by Zeppelin.

The preferred term is "pisstake". as in "I gotta be away from the turntables for a few minutes..."

In order to honor those annoying songs, Dash Rip Rock created "Stairway to Freebird".

Pink Floyd, "Dogs".

...And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye, and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in...

These songs have also been known to cause bartenders to hop over the bar and unplug the jukebox.
