pulled this from wikianswers

The longest recorded piece of music is by a noise band called Bull of Heaven, "The Chosen Priest and Apostle of Infinite Space." It's more than 2 months long. They also have other works that are multiple weeks long. http://bullofheaven.com

Mars Bar

Just what I came in to post when I saw the thread title!

Also, Paradise By The Dashboard Light.

Rocket Man by Elton John is definitely up there. Although it's only 4 mins on the album, it's the greatest 13 mins in a live show you will ever come witness!

Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding by Elton John.

One of the finest songs ever written.

If you like the genre, most post-rock stuff tends to hit in about the 7 minutes to allow for several quiet to loud sections.

Station to Station by David Bowie is the first one that springs to mind. It's a little over 10 minutes long I think.

... and um 'I Will Survive' - Gloria Gaynor. It's 7 minutes summat long. Love it.
Edit: Youtube says it's only 3 minutes long. Hmmm must be a particular version of it that I have.

Exclamation Marc

Sinnerman by Nina Simone - 10 minutes, Kashmir by Led Zepplin and Lucid Dreams by Franz Ferdinand would be my faves over 7 minutes

Pigs (three different ones) - Pink Floyd
Sheep - Pink Floyd
Dogs - Pink Floyd
