Song length doesn't bother me. I'm a fan of Dream Theater, and a long 25 minute song (In the Presence of Enemies) is just perfect.
I love the new Iron maiden. 4 songs over 10 minutes, and others around 7 minutes. It's great.
That said, I do like a solid album with songs all around the 4ish minute mark. Example, the excellent new Tremonti album. Hard Rocking, variable, and only one long 7 minute song. All others are solid 4 minute songs.
See, if a Folk/East Cost sea shanty goes over 3 minutes, forget it. Doesn't work.
But a great Jazz song should be between 6-8 minutes.
It's all relative.
So variety is the key, so that there is a lot available for the different mood.
