Best Closing Track on an Album

[Tray73]

Some personal favourites:

Knights of Cydonia (Black Holes & Revelations) - Muse
The Call of Ktulu (Ride The Lightning) - Metallica
The Outlaw Torn (Load) - Metallica
Street Spirit (Fade Out) (The Bends) - Radiohead
Eyes of A Stranger (Operation: Mindcrime) - Queensryche
Long Slow Goodbye (Lullabies to Paralyze) - Queens of the Stone Age

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

Heh, kinda funny. Cosmic and I have a lot in common some days and other days, we are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Today, we are in sync completely. The first song that came to mind, without even thinking about it, or reading anyone else's posts was Prince - Purple Rain. What a great song!

My other top choice would be Kiss - Black Diamond (from their self titled debut)


Love Reign O'er Me is one of my top fave tunes by the Who. I didn't even remember that it's the last song on Quad as I never listen to that album, just specific songs off of it. Great choice there as well Cosmic.



A couple others off the top of my head:

Kiss - Strange Ways (from Hotter Than Hell)
Kiss - War Machine (from Creatures of the Night)
Kiss - And On the 8th Day (from Lick It Up)
Metallica - The Call of Ktulu (from Ride the Lightning)
Scorpions - Still Loving You (from Love at First Sting)
Scorpions - Holiday (from Lovedrive)
Scorpions - Believe in Love (from Savage Amusement)
Scorpions - Send Me An Angel (from Crazy World)
AC/DC - Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution (from Back in Black)

Yeah, it's funny how that works Lynch. "Black Diamond" also came to mind and "Holiday" and "Still Loving You" are great songs too.

I think Northumberland is also on the ball because "The Show Must Go On" is my favorite song. For whatever reason it just didn't jump out to me for this thread.

great tune for sure

 

[Hardnecker]

La Villa Strangiato from Rush's Hemispheres album. Totally blew my mind the first time I heard it. Best instrumental I ever heard to this day. In one word, dynamic.
