Best closing tracks - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

TheWalkinDude · 02-25-2005, 01:57 PM

I did a few searches and couldn't find any threads along the same lines as this.

So what are everyone's favourite album closers, the last track on a record? I feel a really good final track can raise a great album into brilliance, but I'm the type who sits and listens to a CD or record all the way through.

Anyway, here's mine:

Jungleland - Bruce Springsteen, Born to Run
Desolation Row - Bob Dylan, Highway 61 Revisited
Moonlight Mile - Rolling Stones, Sticky Fingers
The Biggest Lie - Elliott Smith, Elliott Smith
Drop - Red House Painters, Ocean Beach
In Metal - Low, Things We Lost in the Fire
CFGF - Tindersticks, Simple Pleasure
Song to New York - Graham Lindsey, Famous Anonymous Wilderness
Ft. Worth Blues - Steve Earle, El Corazon
Donimo - Cocteau Twins, Treasure
Anywhere I Lay My Head - Tom Waits, Rain Dogs

My first choice is obvious:

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon - Eclipse

I hate to ask this but, what about the "Hidden Tracks" that are sometimes 1-20minutes after the official last track?
for example on Greenday's "dookie" album there is the track All by myself at the very end and i feel that closes out the cd fairly well

I think that all of Common's Cd's are closed well but I think that "Resurection" and "One day it'll all make Sense" have teh best album closers (Pop's rap 1 & 2)

Harry Cox · 02-25-2005, 05:27 PM

"How Many More Times" Led Zeppelin I

Val_1 · 02-25-2005, 09:03 PM

Dylan has a few excellent closing tracks
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Desolation Row
Sarah
Bucket's of Rain

Peter Gabriel - Biko
Prince - Purple Rain
The Doors - The End
Bowie - Rock and Roll Suicide

loonatic8her · 02-26-2005, 08:38 AM

How about Outside the Wall from Floyd's The Wall.... short sweet, to the point and most definitely a closing statement.

flstf · 02-26-2005, 10:21 AM

Beatles - A Day in the Life (from the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" CD)

present_future · 02-26-2005, 10:58 AM

On the Beatles Abbey Road album, Her Majesty. The story behind it is that Abbey Road was the last Beatles Album to be recorded, and the previous track was titled "The End." The group didn't want their last recorded song be titled this, so they threw in this little ditty.

zerosk8 · 02-28-2005, 08:16 AM

I am a fan of the "song" Omega by Stone Sour.....it's a good way to end an album

kurtisj · 02-28-2005, 08:19 AM

Theme From a NOFX Album on NOFX - Pump Up The Valuum is a good one, i also like Close Yet Far from CKY - Infiltrate Destroy Rebuild, i brings a nice change of pace to the cd.

hambone · 02-28-2005, 08:45 AM

NOFX - I Heard They Suck Live!

Last song is called "buggly eyes" I think. I think it closes very well.

Krycheck · 03-02-2005, 11:03 PM

"Third Eye" Tool - Aenima

Only song that comes to mind right now, one of their best songs imho.

K-Wise · 03-03-2005, 10:03 AM

Wu-Tang Clan - It's Yourz!
Pink Floyd - Sorrow, Echoes, High Hopes, Two Suns In The Sunset, etc. etc. etc. etc.
Keane - Bedshaped
Los Lonely Boys - La Contestacion
Meat Loaf - For Cryin Out Loud
Supertramp - Don't Leave Me Now
Silverchair - Steam Will Rise, After All These Years
Finger Eleven - Stay And Drown
Nas - It Ain't Hard To Tell

Eh I'm stumped I might think of more though.

Asta!!

Not good at choosing tracks for a specific thing, But thier is one track that sticks in my head that would make a good closing track.

Don't Believe The Hype - Public Enemy
