As a pop tart I've always been drawn to those tracks that slap you in the face and bugger off before you get bored of them. However, just occasionally I don't want a track to end, especially if you're DJing and you want your last track to go on forever... so here's 5 of the best (mixes, 'hidden tracks' with 10 minutes of silence notwithstanding), anyone else care to share...?
If I made a top 5, it would be extremely ridiculous, as all of the tracks would be related to Lou Reed. Yeah, you guessed it, it would contain Sister Ray and the four parts of Metal Machine Music ๐
More seriously, though, Desolation Row might knock off some part of Metal Machine Music. I really can't decide between the four parts. Oh well, maybe I'll just include the first part only.
Actual list (not counting jazz or classical):
1. Desolation Row - Bob Dylan
2. Sister Ray - The Velvet Underground
3. Metal Machine Part 1 - Lou Reed
4. 1. Satz: Ebene - Klaus Schulze
5. Miss Fortune - Faust (or) Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands - Bob Dylan
Runners up: Halleluhwah - Can, Shine on You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd, Krautrock - Faust, Moon in June - Soft Machine, A Saucerful of Secrets - Pink Floyd, Only Skin - Joanna Newsom, Frankie Teardrop - Suicide, Marquee Moon - Television, Hell's Angel's Cracker Factory - The Flaming Lips, Street Hassle - Lou Reed, Rapper's Delight - The Sugarhill Gang, The End - The Doors

Some time ago my list would be an all Pink Floyd one...
Echoes, Atom Heart Mother, Dogs, Shine On (1-5), and let's say.. Sheep.
All are still worthy contenders, but let's say I go with one per artist:
1. Pink Floyd - Echoes
2. Time - Za koji ลพivot treba da se rodim
3. Sigur Rรณs - Viรฐrar vel til loftรกrรกsa
4. Television - Marquee Moon
5. Tool - Reflection
Other great ones (that are in my winamp media library): Sleep, Storm (both by Godspeed You! Black Emperor), Bel Air (Can), Anesthetize (Porcupine Tree), Starless, Moonchild (both by King Crimson), Emily (Joanna Newsom), Svefn-g-englar (Sigur Ros), We Will Fall (The Stooges) and let's say Cop Shoot Cop (Spiritualized)
