Best Album Closer (soundtrack, classic, Beatles, song)

[Drover]

Inspired by this thread, but looking at the other end.

"A Day in the Life" on Sgt. Pepper is an obvious one, so let's get that one out of the way right now.

I always thought Riders On The Storm at the end of The Doors' L.A. Woman was very good. It was The last piece of new music you'd hear from Morrison. The medley at the end of Abbey road was the same deal.

[Drover]

Except Abbey Road wasn't the last we heard from the Beatles... Let it Be was released after even if recorded before.

That's quite correct.

[Six Foot Three]

Beautiful Girls - Van Halen II

Rev on the Red Line - Foreigner Head Games

Also, The End from the Doors first album.

You Can't Always Get What You Want from the Stone's Let It Bleed.

Cowgirl in the Sand from Neil Young's Everyone Knows This Is Nowhere.

Absolute favorite:
Goin' Home from Mark Knopfler's Local Hero soundtrack.

[TheJickler]

Street Spirit (Fade Out) from Radiohead's 'The Bends' is one of my favorites.

Judy & The Dream of Horses from Belle & Sebastian's 'If You're Feeling Sinister'

Good topic - I'll think of more!

[Avengerfire]

Rocket Queen
Guns N' Roses
Appetite for Destruction

Her majesty's a pretty nice girl but she doesn't have a lot to say.
Her majesty's a pretty nice girl but she changes from day to day.
I wanna tell her that I love her a lot but I gotta get a belly full of wine.
Her majesty's a pretty nice girl someday I'm gonna make her mine, oh yeah,
someday I'm gonna make her mine.

Abbey Road, of course

Ok - I'll go ahead and be the one to say:

Something in the Way by Nirvana - final song on Nevermind.

It's a perfectly dreary closer of a classic, self-consciously uncomfortable rock album.
