The best opening songs on an album thread got me thinking about this. What are some albums with memorable closing songs? (Doesn't have to be the best song on the album)
Some of my choices:
The Beatles- A Day in the Life
LCD Soundsystem- New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down
Off the top of my head: Led Zeppelin- When the Levees Break Jimi Hendrix- Voo Doo Child Nirvana - All Apologies Radiohead - Street Spirit (Fade Out) Talking Heads - This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)
Last Edit: Jan 19, 2015 21:49:55 GMT -5 by Deleted - Back to Top
My big list after going back over a couple of albums
Classics: Pink Floyd - Jugband Blues (Saucerful of Secrets) Pink Floyd - Brain Damage > Eclipse (Dark Side of the Moon) The Band - I Shall Be Released (Music From Big Pink) Bob Dylan - It's All Over Now, Baby Blue (Bringing It all Back Home) The Doors - The End (The Doors) Neutral Milk Hotel - Two-Headed Boy Pt. 2 (In the Aeroplane Over the Sea) The Who - See Me, Feel Me (Tommy) Van Morrison - Slim Slow Slider (Astral Weeks) The Rolling Stones - you Can't Always Get What You Want (Let It Bleed)
Modern ones that came to mind: The Raconteurs - Carolina Drama (Consolers of the Lonely) Mumford & Sons - After the Storm (Sigh No More) Portugal. the Man - Sleep Forever (In the Mountain, In the Cloud) Lucius - How Loud Your Heart Gets (Wildewoman) Arcade Fire - In the Backseat (Funeral) -is this a classic yet? Father John Misty - Everyman Needs a Companion (Fear Fun) Dawes - A Little Bit of Everything (Nothing Is Wrong)
Beatles- A Day in the Life Arcade Fire- My Body is a Cage (Sprawl II is kind of a closer also) Radiohead- Life in a Glasshouse & Videotape Nine Inch Nails- Hurt
Tool- Third Eye (my personal favorite)
The Doors- The End, When the Music's Over, & Riders on the Storm (No matter what you think of The Doors, they definitely knew how to close an album).

First off, I love every single one of Radiohead's closers: Blow Out, Street Spirit, The Tourist, Motion Picture Soundtrack, Life in a Glasshouse, A Wolf at the Door, Videotape, Separator. They always seem to end a record the right way.

I know "Her Majesty" is technically snuck onto the end of Abbey Road, but I think "The End" is the real ending. Last song on the last Beatles album with a final message that sums up the whole thing. It's almost like "Well, all that being said, in the end the love you make, is equal to the love you take."
Who makes guacamole happen!?!? Does a tabloid like the University of Oklahoma student paper make guacamole happen or do ME AND YOU make it exist? Just cause they write about it doesn't make guacamole exist - ME AND YOU MAKE IT EXIST!

That's all I got right now.
I came in here to post those Liars and Spiritualized tracks and you already took care of it. Another good closer by Liars is Protection. Thee Oh Sees closed a show I was at with Minotaur, which I thought was an excellent come down way to finish it off. Can's Yoo Doo Right is more than a closer, it's half the album. lol. Great list, man.

Most of my choices were already taken, including A Day In the Life, which doubles as one of the greatest songs of all time overall. I wrote a few of my personal favorites down below that I could think of off the top of my head.
Queens of the Stone Age-I Think I lost My Headache Daft Punk-Contact The Allman Brothers-Whipping Post Arctic Monkeys-A Certain Romance Kanye West-Lost In the World/Who Will Survive In America
As many of you might have noticed, I tend to just jerk off the same few bands in threads like these, but regardless...
Neutral Milk Hotel - Two Headed Boy (Part 2) [In the Aeroplane Over the Sea] - Already said, but it bears repeating. Alt-J - Taro [An Awesome Wave] - One of the strongest songs on the album, and paints a wonderful story while effectively encapsulating the best of what the band has to offer. Kanye West - Last Call [The College Dropout] - Definitely not one of the best, but I love listening to his narrative and I really think it deepened my appreciation for the album when it first dropped. It just leaves me feeling good.
