Best Closing track ever ? What album ? ( This should be interesting) (1 Viewer)

[buffalojim]

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.

Yeah, I'm in the Tommy camp hehe

 

[Rieguy]

Oh shit, I forgot Voodoo Chile (Slight Return). That will be my final one.

 

[buffalojim]

Gotta throw in the often overplayed but amazing Free Bird from Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd.

 

[Mr Winberg]

Vanilla Ice - To The Extreme - Havin' a Roni

 

[ekricket]

Here’s a gem, wraps the whole album up

 

[Colquhoun]

I thought of another:
Los Endos, from A Trick of the Tail.

 

[raynmanas]

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

this is my favorite answer in the thread so far.

 

[200 Motels]

Strictly Genteel from the album .... 200 Motels by Frank Zappa.

Only In Dreams

Weezer - Blue Album

Last Caress
The Misfits
Beware EP

Only In Dreams

Weezer - Blue Album

The guitar solo is incredible too. I didn't know that Rivers had that in him.

 

[Mongoose]

A couple of classics

The Stones - “You can’t always get what you want” - Let it Bleed

The Who - “Won’t get fooled again” - Who’s Next

Crushed it!

 

[pltrgyst]

The Doors - The End

I'd go with their second album's closer -- When the Music's Over.

 

[pltrgyst]

Oh, and there used to be a guy named Dylan, who had some pretty decent closing tracks. His first seven albums -- pick any one:

See That My Grave Is Kept Clean
I Shall Be Free
Restless Farewell
It Ain't Me Babe
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Desolation Row
Just Like A Woman

 

[Coyote]

 

[buzzmonkey]

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

I was going to post this and then decided to skim the thread to see if anyone else had.

I would also suggest:
Black Sabbath
Master of Reality - Album
"Into the Void"

One of my favorite Sabbath songs.

I gotta go with Abbey Road "The End".

I was gonna say that, but they have a "secret song" called Her Majesty, which is all of 23 seconds. I do think the short song medley at the end of Abbey Road is absolutely brilliant. Sun King, Mean Mr. Mustard, Polythene Pam, She Came in through the Bathroom Window, Golden Slumbers, Carry that weight, The End, Her Majesty. No breaks.

I got back into album rock during covid, some of the albums mentioned here are my favorites. I think Moondance by Van Morrison may be my all time favorite, not a bad track on it.

Great thread!!

 

[joepro]

Yeah, I'm in the Tommy camp hehe

Welcome to the camp, I guess you all know why you're here!

 

[buffalojim]

Welcome to the camp, we all know why you're here!

My name is Tommy and I became aware this year

 

[LotsOfChips]

My name is Tommy and I became aware this year

You know where to put the cork…

 

[jr8719]

This is an incredible close to an incredible album...

... As is this — especially live.

Hoping you'll start up a similar thread for the greatest opening track, too, @legend672?

My Beatles vote is still The End (Her Majesty aside) over A Day in the Life, despite me liking the latter song more in a vacuum. My reasoning is that Let it Be might have been released after Abbey Road, but Abbey Road was recorded last. So basically the culmination of their individual and group talent is at it's peak in Abbey Road, that medley, and is wrapped up in The End. The rotating guitar solos followed by "...and in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make ahh ahhhh" harmony is just perfection. To me The End doesn't just bookend the album, but the Beatles altogether.

To me, it’s unarguable.

Lynyrd Skynrd’s Pronounced ‘Lĕh-‘nérd ‘Skin-‘nérd ends with the iconic Free Bird.
