Fun Stuff => BAND => Topic started by: The Hammered on 11 Mar 2006, 23:45

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.
-
Had to be said: "Mother's Lament" on Cream's Disraeli Gears.
-
The Books - The Lemon of Pink - PS
-
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.
-
Not to mention the mind-scrambling "never could be any other way".
-
Two Headed Boy Pt 2 (NMH - ITAOTS)
I also think that Judy and the Dream of Horses (B&S - Sinister) and It's all gonna break (BSS - s/t) are two great closers. Also, The Wild Kindness (Silver Jews - American Water) is a great closer.
-
Green Day - Nimrod - Prosthetic Head
Pink Floyd - The Divison Bell - High Hopes
Radiohead - The Bends - Street Spirit
Nick Cave - Let Love In - Do You Love Me? (Part Two)
Nick Cave - The Lyre Of Orpheus - O Children
The Beatles - Revolver - Tomorrow Never Knows
Queen - The Works - Is This The World We Created?
-
Pixies - Doolittle - Gouge Away
The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium - Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt
At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command - Non-Zero Possibility
Björk - Homogenic - All is Full of Love
Bonnie 'prince' Billy - I See a Darkness - Raining In Darling
Low - Things We Lost in the Fire - In Metal
Kaizer's Orchestra - Maestro - På Ditt Skift
Under Byen - Det er Mig der Holder Træerne Sammen - Om Vinteren
Under Byen - Kyst - Kyst
and the closers on Her Majesty and Picaresque are lovely little songs that round up the albums perfectly.
-
Immortal - Damned in Black - Damned in Black
That last riff is just...grim. Fucking grim. I always get this mental image of a lone figure, all cloaked in tattered black and fur, slowly trudging away from me through an aurora-lit blizzard. Indeed, throughout, this song creates some of the most powerful mental images I can think of from music.
Sabbat - History of a Time to Come - The Church Bizarre
"Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Skyclad - Jonah's Ark - It Wasn't Meant to End This Way
"When death is the helmsman who steers "Jonah's Ark"
Tomorrows an iceberg that lurks in the dark.
The band plays our song... it's the Funeral March."
Sol Invictus - Death of the West - In The West
Just a great, epic closer. "The sun is setting in the west..."
...and that's all I can think of for now. I'm off to the pub!
-
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Upon This Tidal Wave Of Young Blood is a good one.
Can't seem to think of any others right now. Must be all the crack I'm doing.
-
Trailer Trash boy Modest Mouse has a very er, modest ending
-
The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium - Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt
Fuck, yes. That's so seconded.
Shellac - At Action Park - Il Porno Star
Shellac - Terraform - Copper
Shellac - 1000 Hurts - Watch Song
All Shellac albums have, for some reason, great closing tracks, though I would think that Copper is the most exceptional because it's by far the poppiest song Shellac have ever written.
XBXRX - Sixth In Senses - In Memory Of Our Lives
Descent into total chaos. Horrible and fascinating.
Mínus - Jesus Christ Bobby - Bonus Track
All songs of the album mashed into one, played backwards and looped. Weird.
Botch - We Are The Romans - Man The Ramparts
I like to ignore the bonus track here, I don't like it much. Plus Man The Ramparts is just one killer end for that album.
-
"Leif Erikson" - Interpol
"Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt" - The Mars Volta (I SO agree with this one)
"Butterfly" - Weezer
"Night Light" - Sleater-Kinney
"All Apologies" - Nirvana
"Road To Joy" - Bright Eyes
There's my list.
-
Arcade Fire - Funeral - In the Bck Seat (seconded)
Belle and Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress - Stay Loose .
Echo and the Bunnymen - Ocean Rain - Ocean Rain
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless - Soon
Radiohead - OK Computer - The Tourist
-
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless - Soon
Instantly what I thought of when I read the topic.
-
Weirdly enough, the first album that comes to mind is, of all things, Barenaked Ladies - Maroon with both the surreal "Tonight is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel" and the hidden track "Hidden Sun" which runs even softer and a little bit more hopeful. Yeah I know, it's mainstream pop. It's still damn good mainstream pop. I'm saddened that their latest album sucked so much.
On the opposite side of the spectrum, "Back and Forth" from Dismemberment Plan's Emergency and I is just freaking genius and I love it to bits.
-
Pixies - Doolittle - Gouge Away
Björk - Homogenic - All is Full of Love
A bajillion times, yes!
Badly Drawn Boy - Hour of the Bewilderbeast - Epitaph
Jeff Buckley - Grace - Dream Brother
Roots Manuva - Run Come Save Me - Dreamy Days
Ladytron - Witching Hour - All The Way
The Go! Team - Thunder, Lightning, Strike - Everyone's A VIP To Someone
-
Sol Invictus - The Hill of Crosses
Has an fairly good ending, thats all I can think of right now.
-
VNV Nation - Matter & Form - Perpetual
-
I think it's great that a thread about endings is thread number 9999.
-
+ The hidden track after "Coattails Of A Dead Man" on Primus' "Antipop".
+ The Bad Plus - Give - "Iron Man"
DECONSTRUCTIONOWN'D.
+ Tin Hat Trio - Book Of Silk - "Empire Of Light"
Goddam can Carla Kihlstedt sing.
+ Mr. Bungle - California - "Goodbye Sober Day"
+ Emerson, Lake, And Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery - "Karn Evil 9: 3rd Impression"
+ Oingo Boingo - Only A Lad - "Nasty Habits"
The part around 1:55. OH MAN.
+ 801 - Live - "Third Uncle"
BAAASSSSSSSS.
+ Eels - Electro Shock Blues - "P.S. You Rock My World"
+ General Patton VS. The X-ecutioners - Joint Special Operations Task Force - "Battle Damage Assessment And Repair/White Flag Surrender/"Wake Me Up In Heaven""
Oh Mike Patton.
MORE!
-
"In The Backseat" from The Arcade Fire's Funeral..FLAWLESS. Tell me if any of you do this..if you get a new album,do you ever flip through the lyric booklet to the last song and read the last few lyrics..to see if they are good album-closing lyrics? I do that..yes I do.
-
Oh..Opeth-Damnation-Weakness
-
Yeah, I know some of these have been said, but I'll say them again anyway.
This Heart's On Fire - Apologies to the Queen Mary - Wolf Parade
Soon - Loveless - My Bloody Valentine
It's Hard to Be a Saint in the City - Greetings From Asbury Park, New Jersey - Bruce Springsteen
Darkness on the Edge of Town - Darkness on the Edge of Town - Bruce Springsteen
It's All Gonna Break - Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene
Desolation Row - Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan
Judy and the Dream of Horses - If You're Feeling Sinister - Belle and Sebastian
I Shall Be Released - Music From Big Pink - The Band
Riders on the Storm - LA Woman - The Doors
The End - The Doors - The Doors (Of course...)
A Wolf at the Door - Hail to the Theif - Radiohead
Calender Girl - Set Yourself on Fire - Stars
Only in Dreams - Weezer - Weezer
Butterfly - Pinkerton - Weezer
All the Beatles ones that have been mentioned, plus Her Majesty - Abbey Road
That about covers it.
And worst album closer ever: A Long Day - The Beginning Stages Of... - The Polyphonic Spree
-
I forgot a couple, so let me add:
~ Burmese - Men - Just Say Cunt
I mean, Burmese in general is just noise and not really music, but this ... the last 30 seconds of this album are worse than everything before. It feels like you got raped.
~ Coheed & Cambria - In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3 - 2113
I like the track and it makes for a pretty good end.
~ mclusky - mclusky Do Dallas - Whoyouknow + hidden track
...And things end with a couple of great lines, a different production and pretty pissed off. Thanks.
~ Slint - Spiderland - Good Morning, Captain
uNf. Just uNf.
And a total classic:
~ Tenacious D - Tenacious D - City Hall
Oh my, yes.
-
Slowdive-Souvlaki-Dagger
Skullflower-Obsidian Shaking Codex-Smoke Jaguar
Wire-Pink Flag-12XU
The Fire Show-Saint the Fire Show-You are my Sunshine
Can-Tago Mago-Bring Me Coffee or Tea
The Soft Boys-Underwater Moonlight-Underwater Moonlight
Flipper-Generic Flipper-Sex Bomb
Spiritualized-Ladies and Gentlemen we are Floating in Space-Cop Shoot Cop
-
Weezer - Weezer - Only In Dreams
Weezer - Pinkerton - Butterfly
-
Placebo - Without You I'm Nothing - Evil Dildo
I'd totally forgotten this. Fucking brilliance in bonus track form.
-
First one that springs to mind has to be "Mogwai Fear Satan" from Young Team.
-
Best album OPENER?
Yes! I am a long way from home.
God damn awesome song.
-
Mogwai Fear Satan is awesome but for Mogwai closers I'd take Stop Coming to My House. Or My Father My King.
-
+ The Bad Plus - Give - "Iron Man"
DECONSTRUCTIONOWN'D.
That major key section is badass.
-
This is easy.
AC/DC, Back in Black. Song in quetion: Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution, which is my favorite AC/DC song ever (and I like the band.)
*scans over playlist to see what else might qualify on a lesser level*
Remember, I cound these in alphabetical order, not in order I like most:
Aquabats - Fury of the Aquabats: Theme Song! ([/i]And we sail across the ocean in a hollowed-out log[/i])
Creed - My Own Prison: One. (It's probably Creed's best song.)
Metallica - ...And Justice For All: Dyer's Eve (Omfg, yes. My favorite Metallica song.)
Stephen Lynch - The Craig Machine: D&D (Okay, I'm not sure if this technically counts because he's a stand up singing comedian, but man, this song is the funniest thing ever.)
-
Led Zeppelin - Bring It On Home.
I mean, seriously.
-
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath - The Warning. My favorite Sabbath track ever.
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality - Into The Void. My second favorite Sabbath track ever.
Blue Cheer - Vincebus Eruptum - Second Time Around. The song plays, right? Then ... drum solo! Fade-in to guitar insanity! Fade-in to more guitar insanity! OK, now it's over. Listen to it, you'll understand.
earthlings? - earthlings? - Triumphant March of the Buffoons. It's like if you took the word "haunting" and made it into a song, which is of course the perfect way to end this album.
Kyuss - ...and the Circus Leaves Town - Spaceship Landing. This song is the biggest fucking slab of awesome the 90's ever produced, and a fitting coda to Kyuss's last full album.
Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley - Whitewater. Possibly the best song they ever wrote. Probably the one that explains them best. A perfect ending to their best album.
QOTSA - Rated R - I Think I Lost My Headache. One of the more gratingly cacophanous endings to an album I've ever heard, and somehow the best way this album could've ended.
-
Champagne Supernova at the end of Oasis's (What's The Story) Morning Glory album; it is fine memoir of the days when they were good.
-
The ending of Delerium Cordia clearly wins this. 20 minutes of near silence, then all of a sudden Patton yells "One, two, three four!" followed by an unpleasant scratching noise.
Other amazing endings would include Glassjaws' secret song on Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence, and Sigur Rós' Heysátan.
-
Radiohead - The Bends - Street Spirit
Good call.
-
All the Beatles ones that have been mentioned, plus Her Majesty - Abbey Road
Her Majesty pissed me off. Felt like a pathetic end to an illustrious career to me.
-
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality - Into The Void. My second favorite Sabbath track ever.
Oh, fuck yes. You're like the only other person ever who has a love for that song.
Also:
Tenacious D - City Hall. It's fucking epic, man.
-
It took me a while to get my head around Her Majesty, I eventually figured that it was possibly the least produced track released by the Beatles and they were making some kind of point about how they were still "just a bunch of guys y'know."
-
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality - Into The Void. My second favorite Sabbath track ever.
Oh, fuck yes. You're like the only other person ever who has a love for that song.
You can't be serious. It's distilled Black Sabbath. It's everythiing good about their best work put into a single song. How can anyone calling themself a Black Sabbath song not love it?
My personal preference for The Warning isn't even a very strong one. I just like the bluesiness and the lyrics slightly more (Also, Kyuss's cover of Into The Void is actually better than the original, which lessens the impact of it some). I mean, Into The Void. Jeez.
-
It took me a while to get my head around Her Majesty, I eventually figured that it was possibly the least produced track released by the Beatles and they were making some kind of point about how they were still "just a bunch of guys y'know."
Well, that may be, but unfortunately a track having a point doesn't redeem it. Just because the point We Are All On Drugs by Weezer is making is blackly funny doesn't make the song any less shit.
I'm afraid that I think it should've ended with - appropriately enough - The End; be a much more fitting close to their career, I reckon.
-
I have this feeling that I should probably know why Kyuss are. BUt I don't.
Also: I've met some people who have denounced the entire Masters of Reality album, which I find simply mind boggling. CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE, PEOPLE.
-
David Bowie - The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust - Rock 'N' Roll Suicide
The Decemberists - Picaresque - Of angels and angles
Dinosaur Jr. - You're living all over me - Just like Heaven
Eels - Daisies of the Galaxy - Mr. E's beautiful blues
M83 - Dead cities, red seas & lost ghosts - Beauties can die
Spoon - Kill the moonlight - Vittorio E
BSS - BSS - It's all gonna break
Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas - Frou-Frou foxes in midsummer fires
Arcade Fire - Funeral - In the back seat
Mmm that's some good endings.
-
Acid Bath - When The Kite String Pops - Cassie Eats Cockroaches
This song almost rocks illegally hard. For me, most of the history of alternative metal in America since this point has been a vain attempt to emulate this and the miserable failure thereof.
Acid Bath - Paegan Terrorism Tactics - Unnamed Track (aka Ode of the Paegan, The Beautiful Downgrade, Agents of Oblivion etc.)
"Fingered slowly, like the first time you came,
the agents of oblivion descend upon the sane..."
-
Stop Coming to My House is a great closing track.
I'm partial to Untitled #8 from Sigur Ros' ( ) album, even though I'm not overly fond of the rest of the album.
-
I love Into the Void.
And Acid Bath.
-
Modey Lemon, Self Titled- secret song after Jesus Christ (for dinner).
sweet harmonica cool bluesy guitar. weird ending to a weird album. perfect
-
Acid Bath - When The Kite String Pops - Cassie Eats Cockroaches
" Cassie likes it in her hand, Cassie's dead inside
I came to fuck the open wound, so hold it open wide
Cassie loves to swallow, this bleeding will not stop
I left cassie hollow, cut you with my cock"
<3 <3 <3
-
built to spill - there's nothing wrong with love - preview bonus track
it is fucking hilarious! "look for the record with me on the cover!"
-
I don't know about album endings, the the beginning of Tsjuder's "Kill for Satan" rules.
"DO I LOOK LIKE SOMEONE WHO CARES WHAT GOD THINKS?" *face-smooshing unholy metal*
-
It took me a while to get my head around Her Majesty, I eventually figured that it was possibly the least produced track released by the Beatles and they were making some kind of point about how they were still "just a bunch of guys y'know."
That would have been nice. However Her Majesty is only there because of a mistake made by an engineer.
-
I Was A Teenage Hand Model from QOTSA's debut was great. Homme's voice is ze zex, and the song is just awesome . It also ends the album in a great way, since the song is very different from the rest of the album.
Also,
Kyuss - ...and the Circus Leaves Town - Spaceship Landing.
Yay.
-
Phantom Power by the Tragically Hip, the last track Emperor Penguin fuxing ownzors.
-
"Hey Hey My My (Into the Black)" by Neil Young, from Rust Never Sleeps
"Outside the Wall" by Pink Floyd, from The Wall
"Silver and Gold" by Joe Strummer, from Streetcore
"Eclipse" by Pink Floyd, from Dark Side of the Moon
"Closing Time" by Tom Waits, from Closing Time
-
Dream Theater - Images and Words - Learning to Live
After seeing them play this live, it's quickly becoming one of my favorite songs.
-
Mogwai Fear Satan is awesome but for Mogwai closers I'd take Stop Coming to My House.
Hells yes.
I'm going to take issue with "This Heart's On Fire." It works right up until the last like fifteen seconds of it, which piss me off every time. JUST FUCKING END IT HUGE, ASSHOLES.
I can't believe I didn't include Metric's "Love Is A Place" from Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? What an ending.
-
I am sure I have seen this topic before, and I'm sure I mentioned
Oceansize - Everyone Into Position - Ornament/Last Wrongs
Animals On Wheels - Designs and Mistakes - Stan's Soluble Fish
Boards Of Canada - MHTRTC - Happy Cycling
Reuben - Very Fast Very Dangerous - Return Of The Jedi + Boy
-
"Outside the Wall" by Pink Floyd, from The Wall
I always found that track to be boring and insubstantial after The Trial, but I guess it's conceptually essential.
-
"Outside the Wall" by Pink Floyd, from The Wall
I always found that track to be boring and insubstantial after The Trial, but I guess it's conceptually essential.
The best thing about Outside the Wall, is the "This is where" at the very end, Floyd's ability to connect the ends of albums is so good.
-
I have this feeling that I should probably know why Kyuss are. BUt I don't.
That's just sad :( everyone must know and love Kyuss.
Get the "Welcome To Sky Valley" CD. "Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop" is one of the most rockin' songs in the entire universe.
Also consider picking up "Wretch", their first CD, solely for the blistering 2-minute rifftastic intro track. Josh Homme was a badass rock guitarist way before he even thought of forming a band called QOTSA. :)
-
"Outside the Wall" by Pink Floyd, from The Wall
I always found that track to be boring and insubstantial after The Trial, but I guess it's conceptually essential.
The best thing about Outside the Wall, is the "This is where" at the very end, Floyd's ability to connect the ends of albums is so good.
But that connects to the start of the Wall...during the opening, there's a "where we came in?"
-
Van Der Graaf Generator - A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers from the album Pawn Hearts.
Nothing like an epic 23 minutes of mindless prog' rock.
-
Mogwai - Young Team - Mogwai Fear Satan --- Seconded
Oasis - (what's the story) Morning Glory - Champagne Supernova --- Seconded
The Wrens - The Meadowlands - This is Not What You Had Planned --- Surprised nobody has mentioned this one yet.
-
"Eclipse" by Pink Floyd, from Dark Side of the Moon
YES. But you have to listen to that together with Brain Damage. That heartbeat... And that quote at the end:
"There is no dark side of the moon. As a matter of fact, it's all dark."
WHAT DOES THAT SHIT MEAN??? Will somebody please get high and think about it and then tell us?
-
It means that the moon produces no light of its own, and just reflects the light of the sun instead.
-
"Outside the Wall" by Pink Floyd, from The Wall
I always found that track to be boring and insubstantial after The Trial, but I guess it's conceptually essential.
The best thing about Outside the Wall, is the "This is where" at the very end, Floyd's ability to connect the ends of albums is so good.

exactly
-
It means that the moon produces no light of its own, and just reflects the light of the sun instead.
33 years on, and the stoners' work is done.
-
The Album Leaf - In A Safe Place - Bonus Track: I'm not sure if the track actually counts as part of "Moss Mountain Town" or not. All I know is that the first time i heard this I didn't get it. Finally I cranked up the volume on my speakers and heard quite possibly the best ending song ever.
B. Fleischmann - The Humbucking Coil - Aldebaran Waltz - More than ending song, B. Fleischmann managed to keep the appropriate tone and feel for every song on this album. One of the first great releases of 2006.
That's all I got for now.
-
In Remote Part / Scottish Fiction - Idlewild
All time best album closer ever.
-
The Wrens - The Meadowlands - This is Not What You Had Planned --- Surprised nobody has mentioned this one yet.
I didn't mention it because it just doesn't fit in with the rest of the album. I also think Everyone Chooses Sides should have been the last track.
Erm...more light from more light by J Mascis and the Fog.
Have we said 'The good times are killing me' by modest mouse yet?
ACK! Can't believe I forgot this one...it's my favourite ending ever.
CURSIVE: THE UGLY ORGAN-STAYING ALIVE.
Hell fucking yes.
Also, probably my favorite album closer is Source Tags and Codes by And You Will Know us By the Trail of Dead. It's a beautiful song, working in the melody created through the transition through Relative Ways was a great touch, especially after the transcendence of that wordless chorus. To top it all off, there's a pause, and then some chilling violins.
What a beautiful album. The last three songs together are the best part.
-
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon - Eclipse
Pink Floyd - The Wall - Outside the Wall
AC/DC - Back in Black - Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution
-
The song "Staying Alive" off of "The Ugly Organ" by Cursive... one of the coolest endings ever.
-
It means that the moon produces no light of its own, and just reflects the light of the sun instead.
33 years on, and the stoners' work is done.
That... that makes so much sense. Wow.
What are you, some kind of professor of music?
-
"Love, Reign O'er Me" by the Who is a pretty damned awesome closer to a pretty damned awesome concept album. Pete Townshend probably never wrote a finer song.
Quadrophenia is without a doubt the greatest album they produced; screw Who's Next.
-
Paramore- All We Know Is Falling- My Heart
The screaming at the end is cliched, but it's still a great song by itself, and although the entire album doesn't seem to have any concept of any kind, it still makes the whole thing feel complete. Stopping on 'Franklin' always made the whole cd sound stupid.
Boys Night Out- Trainwreck- Dying
Just perfect. The whole 'doctor-talking-into-his-little-tape-recorder' angle was great. A wonderful way to complete a great concept album.
-
In Remote Part / Scottish Fiction - Idlewild
All time best album closer ever.
Oh crapfuck, I can't believe I forgot that one!
Also, The Decemberists - Castaways and Cutouts - California One / Youth and Beauty Brigade
-
"Love, Reign O'er Me" by the Who is a pretty damned awesome closer to a pretty damned awesome concept album. Pete Townshend probably never wrote a finer song.
Quadrophenia is without a doubt the greatest album they produced; screw Who's Next.
I'd argue Tommy is better, but I love both.
Quadrophenia is the better movie.
-
I guess I have a lot of favorite ones...so ill just get to the ones i remember right now, lets see:
sonic youth - washing machine: the diamond sea
I think this was the best way to end this crazy experimental album, with a 19 minutes song that gets to the heart.
kashmir - zitilites: zitilites
not a very original album, but it has some prety good songs... and this song adds a little something to the end.
radiohead - pablo honey: blow out
many people doesnt like this album, I found it to be one of the best from radiohead...and this song happens to be my favorite radiohead song.
matts gustafson & sonic youth with friends : hidros 3
the hole album is a 64 minutes song, recorded live and it was an inprovisation with lyrics by kim gordon......from begining to end the music is all confusing with some amazing changes trough the song, and that´s pretty much it..... altough, it´s ´retty hard to enjoy this record.
guess that would be about it :)
-
Not to mention the mind-scrambling "never could be any other way".
my mom thought the cd was skipping when we heard that years ago. because apparently neither of us ever heard the album in full until cd's came out.
....?
-
I'd have to say:
The Who- Who's Next- Won't Get Fooled Again
Radiohead- The Bends- Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Radiohead- Amnesiac- Life in a Glasshouse
Weezer- Weezer (Blue)- Only in Dreams
AFI- Sing the Sorrow- ...But Home is Nowhere (Hidden Track in particular)
Alkaline Trio- Good Mourning- Blue in the Face
Boston- Boston- Let Me Take You Home Tonight
Queen- Innuendo- The Show Must Go On
Queen- Hot Space- Under Pressure
And Radiohead's other albums have good enders too, but those just stick out in my mind. As for "Under Pressure," it shall be summed up this way:
Queen + Bowie = Awsome
-
Love Reign O'er Me. YES.
Won't Get Fooled Again is good, but Love Reign O'er Me is just fucking insane after listening to the rest of Quadrophenia (which I haven't done in a while, because for some reason it depresses me).
-
Dunno if these have been mentioned, but:
-The Streets- A Grand Don't Come for Free- Empty Cans
-Animal Collective- Feels- Turn Into Something
-Arcade Fire- Funeral- In the Backseat
-Belle and Sebastian- If You're Feeling Sinister- Judy and the Dream of Horses
Worst album ending- Neutral Milk Hotel- On Avery Island- Pree-Sisters Swallowing A Donkey's Eye.
Seriously. What is this?
-
Opeth - Blackwater Park - Blackwater Park
Twelve minutes of GRAAAAAAAH AWESOME.
Also, I second Animal Collective's Turn Into Something. Great closer.
-
Sorry if someone's mentioned this already, but I didn't read the whole thread.
Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica - "What People are Made Of"
Just a great way to end the album, with the last line, "THEY AIN'T MADE OUT OF NOTHING BUT WATER AND SHIT! ALRIIIIIIIGHT!" And an awesome album comes to an end.
-
Very good track. I loved how different it was from the rest of the album.
What I thought was a very very cool ending was Styrofoam Boots/It's All Nice On Ice" on Lonesome Crowded West. I was very moved by that track, actually.
-
the endings to:
neutral milk hotel - in the aeroplane over the sea
the getup kids - something to write home about
the mars volta - deloused in the comatorium
were really good.
-
broken social scene - its all gonna break from broken social scene
the horns make for such a huge finale
kyuss - whitewater from sky valley
one of my favourite 5 songs... just the moment when that huge rolling riff kicks in near the start of the song WOW
corrosion of conformity - in the arms of god from in the arms of god
the riff heavy riffs after peppers scream near the end, perfect.
far - waiting for sunday from water & solutions
a beautiful way to drift away at the end of the album. its also possibly my single favourite album.
sigur ros - popplagið from ( )
brilliant tense coiling build up before it finally lets loose. the last 5 minutes are better than pretty much the rest of the album.
metallica - damage inc from master of puppets
easily one of their best songs in my opinon
jeff buckley - dream brother from grace
beautiful
emperor - inno a satana from in the nightside eclipse
im not sure why but i know it works
-
now that i think about it 'relationship of command' was a pretty great end to a career.
-
Soap, I thought that that song, damage inc, was an abomination on the face of that album. It was just utterly worthy of desposition.
-
Two Headed Boy Pt 2...wait...I already posted that...errr...ha...ha....ha
DSOTM again.
-
Guster's "Rainy Day" at the end of "Lost And Gone Forever" would have to be my favorite.
-
Pearl Jam - Vitalogy - "Immortality"
What's that? The song after Immortality? I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. No, there is no...
THERE IS NO SONG AFTER IMMORTALITY!
-
Sonic Youth - s/t - The Good and the Bad
Awesome song, and the song itself has an awesome ending too.
And I'm not sure if I posted this already, but: Ramones - Road to Ruin - It's a Long Way Back to Germany
And not really an album (unless you have the soundtrack, which I ought to get some time), but I must list it: Katamari Damacy - Katamari of Love. FUCKING AWESOME.

Placebo - Without You I'm Nothing - Evil Dildo
I'd totally forgotten this. Fucking brilliance in bonus track form.
i thought i was tripping very very hard when i heard that voice saying all that shit about fucking someone in the asshole or some shit. i'm straight edge too. haha.

Mr. Bungle- Goodbye Sober Day [California]
The most outright insane song they ever did. Death Metal, calypso and Balinese monk chants. Oh my oh my.
Fugazi- KYEO [Steady Diet Of Nothing]
An album of slow grinders until this track. Like the theme song to some giant japanese robot battle.
Bob Dylan- Desolation Row [Highway 61 Revisted]
A ten-minute Ginsberg adventure- just one man with a guitar and harmonica.
Shellac- Watch Song [1000 Hurts]
In which Steve Albini finally loses it and challenges you to fisticuffs.
And the obvious 'uns.
The Who- Won't Get Fooled Again- Who's Next?
Jimi Hendrix- Voodoo Child (Slight Return)- Electric Ladyland
Velvet Underground- Sister Ray- White Light/White Heat
Curtis Mayfield- Superfly- Superfly
The Pixies- Gouge Away- Doolittle
Too long for a first post I know. Pleased to meet ya.

For dumbass comedy value, theres a track at the end of either 'welcome to sky valley' or 'blues for the red sun' by kyuss (don't have em with me, can't remember which one) where they do a kind of lounge tune with 'i know that you can and will lick my doo-wah' as the main lyric. After an hour of stoner rock sludgery, its something of a shock.
