Post here examples of songs with great and original endings.
Personally I often find it boring if a song just fades out, I think a great ending makes a song even more unique. :D

I think Angel of Death by Slayer ends on a cool note, the guitars play a regular power chord but the bass note is something weird and makes it sound really cool and HEAVY.

Also the studio version of War Pigs has a cool ending when the recording speeds up. Apparently the studio engineer made that up and not the band but it's a neat effect nonetheless.

Then 2112 by Rush. It ends with the band going full frenzy after the epic outro, and then a "transmitted" voice signal from a spaceship, declaring "Attention all planets of the Solar Federation. We have assumed control." A great climax to the epic.

Tell me your thoughts ;)

This one is a double whammy. An awesome beginning as well as an awesome ending.

This is a hell of a song right from the word go.
One of the most unique rock endings ever!!

Robert plant says Cough when one of the band member coughs and the producer says that's gonna be the one.

My favorite ending to a song has to be "The Party" by Max Webster. I just love the sound of Kim Mitchell's guitar at the very very end (he may drag it out for a few seconds prior to the end)
