It seems everyone has an opinion about the Calgary radio station’s choice to adopt the new QuickHitz editing program, writes G&B writer Vanessa Azzoli.

We certainly can’t 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. I’ve 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?

I remember when Top 40 DJs played 45 rpm records at 47, to plug in more tunes per hour...

[Dr. Sivana]

Oh, and before I had enough of his pervy-ness, Elton John's Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding.

One that's not on my list, but surprises me for not being mentioned is Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.

I also thought Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Center of the Earth would be a contender.

Blind Faith. The entire album.
Jethro Tull. Thick As A Brick.
King Diamond. Abigail.
So many more...

Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001), Emuir Deodato- although it was butchered for radio the old-fashioned way.

My faves from Wakeman were his King Arther LP, and Six Wives of Henry VIII.
