When I read the title Godspeed came to mind but it appears people are just naming tracks that are both the longest and their favourite on the album... but still...

Artist - Album - Song

Colour Haze - Tempel -Aquamaria
Sleep - Dopesmoker -Dopesmoker (lmfao)
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion - Brother Sport
Big Star - Radio City - O My Soul (Anyone wanna argue September Gurls?)
Beck - Mutations - Nobody's Fault But My Own (barring secret songs)
Beck - Stereopathetic Soulmanure - Tasergun
The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs - Uhh... I have 3 favorite songs, and two of them are the two longest tracks on the album (Sweet-Lovin Man, Papa Was A Rodeo). Then there's You're My Only Home but whatever ignore that.
Meat Puppets - Up On The Sun - Up On The Sun
Melvins - Gluey Porch Treatments - Eye Flys
Melvins - Lysol - Hung Bunny
Radiohead - OK Computer - Paranoid Android (How has this not been said yet?)
Radiohead - In Rainbows - House of Cards
Radiohead - Kid A - How To Disappear Completely
Soundgarden - Louder Than Love - Hands All Over
Sonic Youth - EVOL - Expressway To Yr Skull

It seems a lot of the more eclectic groups that I'm fond of (Mr. Bungle, Ween, Apollo 18-era TMBG, all the other Beck albums) are much better at writing short songs.

The Doors albums...on the self titled and Strange Days, the 11 minute finales might not be my favorite but I'm sure many consider them the best. On The Soft Parade, the long title track is surely my favorite.

Also,

Away From The World by Dave Matthews Band

Drunken Soldier is one of my favorite songs.

Oh and Beatles. Probably A Day in the Life form Sgt. Pepper, and definitely the Abbey Road medley if you just pretend it's one track!

Aw shit. Well then Estranged works for the II xD But yeah, Coma's alright, but it's far from November Rain.

The Doors do some excellent long tracks: "The End," "When the Music's Over," and "The Soft Parade" come to mind. All album-closers as well.
