Great album endings?

(1/20) > >>

The Hammered:
Basically what the title says. I'll list mine.

The Stooges - Fun House - L.A. Blues
I'm sure there are a lot of people who hate this one, but I think it's the perfect ending to Fun House.
Sonic Youth - Bad Moon Rising - Death Valley '69
It's a good song all by itself, but it's mostly impressive as such a contrast to everything before it.
The Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat - Sister Ray
Couldn't go without mentioning this. Damn.
The Velvet Underground - [self-titled] - After Hours
First, I adore Moe Tucker's voice. Second, this is a wonderful little song, and third, it works very well to wind the album down after "The Murder Mystery."
The Ramones - [self-titled] - I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You and Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World
Both kickass songs, and even though it's just a second of feedback, the transition between them seems very satisfying for some reason.
Lightning Bolt - Wonderful Rainbow - Duel in the Deep
It's a weird track (not even a song, really), even compared with the rest of the album, but I like it, probably for that reason. Also, the gradually fading feedback that ends it just seems to work really well. I'm not sure why.
Pixies - Bossanova - Havalina
Very sweet song, and it works really well as a closer.

Zaarin:
Had to be said: "Mother's Lament" on Cream's Disraeli Gears.

Anson:
The Books - The Lemon of Pink - PS

squawk:
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's - A Day in the Life
I guess the Beatle chatter isn't really THAT great but the crazy ascending orchestra and the powerful E chord is a good ender.

Zaarin:
Not to mention the mind-scrambling "never could be any other way".
