Greatest album closers of all time.

Love this thread./quote]

Indeed. Well played Rod

[Scotronica]

The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead - Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others

[Mexicola]

Would? - Alice in Chains - Dirt.

Partly because my old band used to do a decent version of it, but it's such a killer track.

War Within A Breath - Rage Against The Machine - The Battle For Los Angeles (although Freedom off their debut runs it close)

I'm in a rock mood today.

I can't believe nobody mentioned Too Long on daft punks discovery.

[OverTheHorizonRadar]

Well Abbey Road has that whole medley leading into The End, which is a pretty good ending. BUT I'm gonna cheat kinda because I think She's So Heavy which ends side 1 of that album is a terrific closer the way it builds into sheer noise and then just cuts off. It's one of my favorite musical moments.

[Konnan]

For me that gotta be Wavy Gravy on Sasha's Airdrawndagger

[WeHadNormality]

Serge Gainsbourg's Cargo CultE from Histoire de Melody Nelson

I was going to post Beck - Ramshackle here actually. Supposedly it was the only remaining track from the version of Odelay that he otherwise completely scrapped before writing all the stuff that eventully went on to appear on the album.

[Meddle]

Still can't believe nobody has put Pink Floyd - Echoes.
