What are your favorite tracks that finish off CD or LP (side 2)

For me its:

Stones "Cant Always Get What You Want" of Let it Bleed
Hendrix "Bold as Love" off Axis Bold as Love
Dead Kennedys "Holiday in Cambodia" off Fresh Fruit For Rotten Vegtables
Pink Floyd "Echos" off Meddle
Rose Tattoo "Astra Wally" off Rose Tatoo

These are off the top of me head, I was listening to Let it Bleed and it ocured to me what a fantastic way to close with a bang, I'm sure I'll think of more

Cheers
Steve

"Check Out," the last song on side 2 of It's Only a Movie, which was the final album recorded by Family.

Won't Get Fooled Again (Who's Next)
The End/Her Majesty (Abbey Road)
Brain Damage/Eclipse (The Dark...)

all 3 hendrix experience studio albums
the who - tommy - we're not gonna take it
the who - who's next - won't get fooled again.

Pink Floyd "Echos" off Meddle


And what a closer it is!

Gotta vote for

"God"- John Lennon, Plastic Ono Band
"Ambulance Blues-" Neil Young, On the Beach
"Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands"- Dylan, Blonde on Blonde
"In the Court of the Crimson King"- King Crimson, In the Court of the Crimson King
"Islands"- King Crimson, Islands
"Complicated Game"- XTC, Drums and Wires
"Love, Reign o'er Me"- The Who, Quadrophenia

"Love, Reign o'er Me"- The Who, Quadrophenia

forgot about that one. i was scrolling thru my WHO collection and totally forgot about it.

ELP - Trilogy - ABADDON'S BOLERO

Rush - Hemispheres - LA VITA STRANGIATO

The Who - Who's Next - WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN

Great - "Tomorrow Never Knows" off of "Revolver." It's like I never want it to end.

Totally out of place - "Moonlight Mile" off of "Sticky Fingers." I usually pick up the stylus after "Dead Flowers."

Great - "Tomorrow Never Knows" off of "Revolver." It's like I never want it to end.

Yes, an amazing album closer! :thmbsp: I agree it's too short.

"Her Majesty" on Abbey Road. You have this grand, majestic finale of Carry That Weight>The End. But with a touch of irony or perhaps to puncture the effect so as to avoid pretentiousness, they threw that one in after a false ending. Love it.

Also, the last and long lasting chord of "A Day in the Life" on Sgt Pepper is a very ominous ending.

Its all coming up Fab 4 today.

"There's no dark side of the moon, really. As a matter of fact it's all dark."

How could I forget one the most jarring album enders, "Jugband Blues" at the end of Pink Floyd's Saucerful of Secrets.

It's tragic and screwy, yes. But it leaves quite an impact, therefore a favorite.

"Bold as Love" from Axis: Bold As Love


Can't argue with that, definitely one of the best finishers.

Closing Time......Tom Waits
It's the last song on Side 2, of that LP.


Steve

born to run..jungleland

Down By The River - Buddy Miles Live lp

I cant believe I forgot "wont get fooled again"

The one that popped into my mind immediately was "Happy Trails" at the end of Diver Down by Van Halen. Hokey, but a fun finish.

Ray

The end of Abbey Road.

Rush - Hemispheres - LA VITA STRANGIATO


Yes, great one! Closes off the album perfectly and one of the best instrumentals ever. (It's Villa btw).

"Natural Science" off of Permanent Waves is a great closer as well, and I like "Between the Wheels" from Grace Under Pressure too, it sums up the darkness of much of the album and is a very good but under appreciated track.

"Purple Rain" closes Purple Rain well.

"Wind Up" from Aqualung is a good closer.

“Meanwhile Back at the Ranch/Should I Smoke,” from Badfinger’s sorely underappreciated classic Wish You Were Here. The sheer desperation in that song’s fury is spine-tingling. A year later, Pete Ham would be dead by his own hand, and one of the truly great bands of its era essentially finished.

Carly Simon " no secrets"

God Save the Queen. The last song after Bohemian Rhapsody.

"Follow Me" on Blondie's "Autoamerican". A Lerner & Loewe show tune from "Brigadoon".
Tom

The entire last 10 minutes of "Turn of A Friendly Card" - Alan Parsons Project :banana:

AND "Shangri-La" from NEW WORLD RECORD - Electric Light Orchestra :music:

- leaves you euphoric and satisfied.

Year of the Cat - Al Stewart
Nights in White Satin - Days of Future Past, Moody Blues
