Well, Dire Straits, while not of the older "art-rock" era, has cranked out one
or two.  Telegraph Road off of -Love over Gold- is about 14 minutes, telling
a story and not just stringing words together.  Come to think of it, these
guys would fit in quite well in the early 70's - long, overblown and
pretentious (and I love 'em!).
