A band called Porcupine Tree formed by Steven Wilson, released a single called "Voyage 34", which lasts 30 minutes and 4 seconds.
This apparently is the SECOND longest single of all time.
I have been unable to identify the one that is longer.

There is debate about this (do you count live recordings?) But:
Manuel Gottsching - E2-E4 is almost 60 mins (it's divided into track names, but it's all one song)
New Order's "Peter Saville Show Soundtrack" clocks in at 30:13
Spacemen 3 - "Rollercoaster" is over 17:00
And there is an Acid Mothers Temple song that goes for > 60 mins. something Lemonade?

Klaus Schulze- Picasso Geht Spazieren - 154 min.
I must admit that until the list gets to the 40 min. area I had not heard of any of the artists
