[12thMan]

Cake-prolonging the magic-where would I be
Jack Johnson- brushfire fairytales- it's all understood
Green day-american idiot-whatshername



I don't even know how to think of this question so I went with the CDs I remember playing all the way through and always thinking how good the whole thing was, even the last song. I'm sure there's more.

Also every rap CD I can think I of right now had like an outro or a real shitty song at the end.

 

[Saoliver]

For those who like rap, this one is pretty good.

For those who don’t, just skip it. Hahahaha

Alan Parsons Project - I Robot
Genesis Ch.1 V. 32

My favorite part of CDs was the hidden bonus track.

My favorite part of CDs was the hidden bonus track.

Picking one best closing track is nigh impossible for me, but this is my favorite hidden bonus track of all time, from a relatively obscure one-and-done 90s band:

*edit* Damnit, I just realized it's a tie:

What's an "album" ?

 

[DarPodo]

Purple Rain is the winner here, but since someone already took it I’ll nominate The Stone Roses - I Am The Resurrection.

 

[Perthmike]

I haven't listened to an album in years I don't think.

But the Mars Volta albums are all pretty special and although this wasn't my favourite album it was the best closing track.

 

[mike32]

I gotta go with Abbey Road "The End".

 

[buffalojim]

When the Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin IV

No problems here

My personal favorites are Shine On You Crazy Diamond VI-IX and Eclipse, especially because of the theme of the song and heartbeat coming full circle, just like the intro to Speak to Me.

Jack Johnson- brushfire fairytales- it's all understood

Nice, Brushfire is a great album. Saw him up in Toronto in the early 2000s.

 

[TheBigTater]

Wow, great question, truly super hard to pick but here are 2 of my favorites.

 

[rowlin]

First reaction to a big question that I’ve never considered is

…or Echoes. Or Two Suns in the Sunset if the premise wasn’t so damn cynical.

There may not be only one right answer to this question, but there are definitely wrong ones.

Beautiful choices

“The end”. The Doors-The Doors

tough at first but once I looked at my albums it stood out like a sore thumb.

edit. There are 2 more that are close but not quite.

“Damage Inc”- Master of puppets

“La Villa Strangiato” - Hemispheres-Rush.

 

[Budha]

The Doors - The End

Jethro Tull - Aqualung- Wind Up. Not the best song on the album, but a great closing track to tie the whole thing together.

 

[rowlin]

Beautiful choices

Thanks. I wasn’t trying to fire any shots with that last part, either. Am loving all the suggestions so far.

Iron Maiden (I had to)
Powerslave - Album
"Rime of the Ancient Mariner"

U beat me to it by seconds - lol.

Nope, I get it. It's always been Rog's style. I'll never argue with any Floyd closing track, they're the master of the concept album, so almost any closing track is perfect for the theme they were going for.

Public Enemy
Fear of Black Planet - Album
"Fight the Power"

I was literally typing this out after my Led Zeppelin and both Beatles choices were taken.

I guess I'll just go with "Love Reign O'er Me" from The Who/Quadrophenia since it's an amazing bookend on their best rock opera .

 

[MatB]

Getting my Spotify lined up with all these suggestions.
Haven’t even heard of most.

No love for We're Not Gonna Take It from Tommy?

That’s a great one!!!!

No love for We're Not Gonna Take It from Tommy?

Lot's of love, but I was purposefully controversial there since I'm in the minority that prefers Quadrophenia (musically) over Tommy.

I also abstained from any Pink Floyd because they just have too many to chose from, although I'd ultimately choose Eclipse if I had to choose one.
