Best closing tracks

[benji2]

We've got best opening tracks, so wanted to give closing tracks on albums/CDs a shot:

 

[The Passenger]

massive stone roses fan but i am the resurrection has never clicked with me as it has with other fans for whatever reason.

they're a popular target but they still produced some good music, and imo the best king of leon track is arizona which closes because of the times.

 

[HARKER]

 

[BERT]

 

[HARKER]

 

[CLUBMEDhurst]

 

[Roobs321]

First to come to mind is When the Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin.

But there are many that don't instantly come to mind.

 

[JP Sauce]

Mr. November, Tomorrow Never Knows and Won't Get Fooled Again are the first that come to mind (that haven't already been mentioned).

Play Crack The Sky - Brand New from Deja Entendu


The Willing Well IV: The Final Cut - Coheed And Cambria from Good Apollo 1.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Iron Maiden was in the habit of placing a long-running 'epic' at the end of their early albums. Some of their best work:

The Number Of The Beast - Hallowed Be Thy Name
Piece Of Mind - To Tame A Land
Powerslave - Rime Of The Ancient Mariner

Alexander The Great didn't really cut it. Never a favourite of mine, but some would class Fear Of The Dark as an epic.

Letter To Alan, the closer on Circus Animals, is damn near Cold Chisel's finest hour.

 

[Portmanteau]

A very under/not rated one

 

[Silent Alarm]

 

[DEVO]

Not only the best closing song, but the best song of all time. Period. In my opinion at least.

RECOVERY by Curve

 

[hellboy1975]

 

[WALDENPOND]

'Sixteen Straws' from 'Gala Mill' by The Drones

 

[Zarrix]

Pretty much came in here to post this.

 

[Macca19]

Down - Bury Me In Smoke

 

[two up]

Great thread. Always thought the final song was the key element of a great album. A few have already been mentioned i'd agree with (A Certain Romance, Outsiders, Street Spirit), will add in Knights of Cydonia, The Tourist and Amsterdam from A Rush of Blood to the Head.

 

[FalcoX]

You Can't Always Get What You Want

Desolation Row

Brothers in Arms

The End
Riders on the Storm

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI-IX)

Bar Italia - Pulp

Time of the Season - The Zombies
