Top 25 Greatest Album Closing Tracks

[@TheManInMeOfficial]

The audio for “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” got the video blocked, so the sound at that part has been extracted.

[@Archive222]

This track on Nevermind is very unknown and it is called “Endless, Nameless”. That is the real closing track for that album.

This list is quite accurate! Some others that came to mind: - The Court of the Crimson King - I Am the Resurrection [The Stone Roses] - Time of the Season [Odessey and Oracle] - We're Not Gonna Take It [Tommy] - Love Reign O'er Me [Quadrophenia] - Would? [Dirt]

I’d probably pick “The End” by The Beatles as well. Not only is it the end of the album, it’s also the end of the 18-minute Abbey Road Medley, and most consider it the end of the Beatles, since it’s the last song in the last album they recorded; also it’s a banger and each member get their moment to shine.

[@johnnyboy55]

I thought that this should have been #1 as well. Overall this list is a bit lame. C+ at best

[@germaintet7648]

But The end is not really the end of Abbey Road. It's Her majesty, which we should listen to, these days.

[@Netaroxis]

@@germaintet7648 yeah well, no. Actually Her Majesty was an accident, since the engineers didn’t mean to leave the track on the album. That’s why Her Majesty doesn’t appear on the track list in the back cover, and it’s considered a hidden track more than anything, that’s why The End is actually the end of Abbey Road.

[@Litro740]

Hard agree, it's such a perfect ending also, each member gets their own solos and then it ends with such a great lyric "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." It was my high school yearbook quote.

Listening to an album (pre-Spotify!) used to be about going on a journey, and what makes these songs great last tracks is not only that most are timeless tracks in their own right, but also the way they culminated or otherwise put a full stop on the journey of each of their respective albums. Good stuff!

[@MilkySkyShake]

@@fkaparkppl Yes, but it's not the common way to consume them. The music is given to the consumer in a way that it's easier to consume them by song instead of the whole album. Spotify is the one called out because they are part of the rise of the playlists. There are still some albums that take the listener on a journey, but they are not sold to the general public in a way that takes advantage of that.

Starless / from red (king crimson), 1974.

[@anthonieschaap1625]

Let it Bleed is such a nice album

[@Rockergamer3210]

I agree with a majority of this list. These are album closers that I personally love: Supergrass - Time to Go (I Should Coco) Klaatu - Little Neutrino (3:47 EST) Yes - Siberian Khatru (Close to the Edge) Greta Van Fleet - Black Smoke Rising (From the Fires)

[@nolanreyes9712]

The songs featured in these albums are all killer, no filler. Not just the closing tracks. But it's still mind blowing to finish these albums with tracks that leave you wanting more. Most albums these days only have 1 or 2 good songs.

[@kevinfarrell3121]

A lot of good picks! In my mind “Brothers In Arms” is #3 and “The End” is in the trash can along with Nirvana. But the rest are great pick’s

[@larrytoons6220]

Where's the most obvious one The End- Abbey Road Its not just the closing track to Abbey Road, but the chronological end to the Beatles as a band. That makes The End such a perfect summary of the Beatles, featuring every Beatle on an instrument, Fast energy, a slower ending arranged by George Martin, and harmonies lined within. So basically its kinda disappointing that Sgt. Pepper was on here instead.

[@emilywilkins5124]

Not the closing track lmao. Her majesty is technically after. And as much as I love the end, A Day In The Life is better in my opinion

[@larrytoons6220]

@@emilywilkins5124 Technically, but Her Majesty was supposed to be in the middle of the Medley, bridging the gap between Mean Mr. Mustard, and Polythene Pam. It was cut out and tacked onto the end for some odd reason. But opinions are opinions anyway, if you like Day in The Life more, you like it more.

[@emilywilkins5124]

@@larrytoons6220 Yeah, I know where it was meant to be, but that doesn't change the fact that it is at the end of the album, meaning the end is not the closer, even thouggh it was meant to be

[@EduardoMckay-o4n]

Some of my favourites Rocket queen (apetite for destruction) Champagne supernova(whats the story) Tommorow never knows (revolver) Street spirit (the bends) Anerysm (intesticide) All apolgies (in utero) Hallowed by thy name (number of the beast) You cant always get what you want (let it bleed) Riders on the storm (L.A. Woman) When the levee breaks (led zeppelin IV) The Oceon (houses of the holy) The end (the doors) Eclipse (dark side of the moon) A day in the life (sgt peppers lonely hearts club band) The show must go on (innuendo) Gold dust woman (rumours) Coma (use your illusion 1) All you need is love (magical mystery tour) When a blind man cries (machine head) 505 (favorite worst nightmare) When the musics over (strange days) Gimme,gimme,gimme (voulez-vouz)

[@arnemente6346]

No Arctic Monkeys? I mean they had "505" and "a certain romance" at the end of their first two lps

[@Noah-je2xj]

i love hurt so much, because the whole album feels like a rapid descent through hell, and then hurt, the last song, feels like you've finally reached the bottom and then just look up, through all of the layers, reflecting on how you got here

[@mrthunderwonder2410]

I love the ending of Breakfast in America, maybe is not happy at all, but that piano and sax solo in Child of Vision is wonderful. For me the best and longest piano solo in Pop Rock music (Even that I consider that as Jazz Rock or Art Rock)

[@henryburke2158]

Some others that I think deserve to be add Call of ktulu-Metallica Famous last words-MCR The show must go on-Queen The outlaw torn-Metallica Lions-Dire straits A wolf at the door-Radiohead Vital signs-Rush Death of a martian-RHCP Under pressure-Queen

[@adamjrosenbaum]

Another for consideration: “Find the River” by R.E.M. (last track of Automatic For the People)

[@ZacLavender]

Only in dreams - weezer blue Josie - steely Dan Aja Third world man - steely Dan gaucho Back seat of my car - Paul McCartney Ram

[@donald60s14]

I thought this list was to show the best endings to an album, half seam like favorites instead Jimi Hendrix’s Bold As Love is by far the best way to close in album in my mind, and amazing song too! Metallica’s Damage Inc. and Dyer’s Eve are great 1 2 punches to end great albums. The end of an era for Metallica for sure. The Beatles cover Twist And Shout was a great way to end their debut too. Also, you can’t deny A Day In The Life as an amazing way to end an album, even if such album and song aren’t my favorites. Also Beatles The End would be my favorite ending if Her Majesty wasn’t placed 40 seconds after it lol

[@thirdhandlv4231]

Music revolves around taste and opinions and not facts, there is no definitive best album or song or artist, everyone has their own list.

[@brenetssss]

I knew this had to be his favorites when this dude had the nerve to put a Radiohead song over Purple Rain

[@thirdhandlv4231]

@@brenetssss How dare he have his own opinion.

[@pimposki6232]

@@brenetssss radiohead songs are remarkably taut and tightly wound, there's no excess.. they're very like the beatles that way and i personally value that really highly in songwriting as a sign of skill, so i'd probably place every radiohead album closer aside from maybe separator and true love waits above any prince song.

[@faustinoperez9007]

This list is well done, but in mi opinion the best album closing track is Contact from Daft Punk. Nice video

[@benji274]

I Am The Resurrection by The Stone Roses is one of my faves

[@tomleather135]

The two final songs on Joe’s Garage by Frank Zappa are masterpieces, but I think if Watermelon In Easter Hay was the actual finisher it would definitely deserve a spot on this list

[@linus5171]

Love that solo.

[@tomleather135]

@@linus5171 who in their right mind doesn’t

[@linus5171]

@@tomleather135 Even though Zappa is as great as he is. People seem to see him as a joke. Most start the first three songs of Joes garage and give up. Kind of sad.

[@andrewhoag6167]

Keep Me In Your Heart For A While (The Wind) - Warren Zevon

[@teemusid]

I've listened to that song only a handful of times, but that's enough. It is burned into my soul.

[@LizzyVonBloom]

Isn’t it crazy how rock is the only genre of music to ever exist? You would think they’d make other ones by now

[@RenegadeShepard69]

Also how only people from the USA and the UK are capable of making music. With rare exceptions from Australia/NZ/Canada/Ireland etc. but nobody cares about those.

[@NJGuy1973]

What are your favorite non-rock closing tracks?

[@SeabassGoose]

Don't forget Outside the Wall and This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)!!
