Radio 4 on Metal Box.

as cliche as it sounds, Day in the life on Sgt Peppers.

Radio 4 ain't the last.

Scratch that, my labels must be fucked.
It's the best song on that whole record.

the answer is Sister Ray

All Apologies - Niravan (In Utero).

Yes, there is a secret song on the Australian release, but this in the final listed track.

Or maybe it's by Nirvana..

Haven't given this much thought, but the first thing that sprang to mind was either Motion Picture Soundtrack off Kid A or Glasshouse off Amnesiac.

I'm not even that big of a Radiohead fan, they're just great last songs I think.

Radiohead are boring. Unless the final tracks on their albums are not played by them and are not their songs etc, they should have no inclusion in this discussion.

Anything with a few minutes' silence and a wacky secret track.

A Comet Appears - Wincing The Night Away ~ The Shins.

Soon - Loveless - MBV
Good morning captain - Spiderland - Slint

I love a good closer!

I'd also say Day in the Life and Comet Appears. Also think Two Headed Boy part 2 by Neutral Milk Hotel is a fantastic end to the album.

Jane Doe - Jane Doe ~ Converge.

Epic.

''How Much Is Enough'' on Hi-Fi Way by You Am I, killer.

Sixteen Straws by the Drones is pretty killer too.

Serge Gainsbourg- Cargo Culte- Histoire de Melody Nelson

I think you just won.

The Last Night Of Not Knowing You, ''Hello Stranger'' by Darren Hanlon, just beautiful.

We're Not Gonna Take It - Tommy

This was especially the case watching them perform Tommy on the Live at Leeds DVD.

I'm going to take a controversial vote and say ''The Wanderer'' (ft. Johnny Cash) by U2 on Zooropa

Not the best but certainly underrated. The best track off the best U2 album.

I have a prank I like to play to people. I tell them that it's Brian Eno producing Johnny Cash and play them the tune. They love it. It's good and it ticks the ''it's cool to like this'' boxes. Then I offer to lend them the album and pass them the cover. The look on their face when they realise it's U2 is priceless.

Gets them every time.

Cop Shoot Cop.

^ - You are so fucken right.

And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda - The Pogues (Rum, Sodomy and the Lash)

Awesome choice.
So much love here for Augie March I might actually have to listen to them.

Can - Spoon
Yo La Tengo - Blue Line Swinger

Vittorio E.

wilco - reservations

(especially because of the half-speed outro)

dude's on the money. this also wins the prize for only excusable encore at a punk show.

yeah cause punk rock is all about rules eh?

Extra Kings - The Avalanches off Since I Left You

Love Spreads - The Stone Roses off Second Coming

Lucy - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds off The Good Son - sent chills down my spine the first time I listened to that record. Was always kinda pissed that it ended with a fade out though.

Tom Waits has got some great album closer's in his catalogue. Train Song from Frank's Wild Years is absolutely fucking perfect.

Desolation Row- Highway 61 Revisited

Blue Valentine - Tom Waits

Yeah, Blue Valentine's a great finish. Really like Fawn from Alice as a closer (but I'd probably get some argument there.) That Feel from Bone Machine and Come On Up to the House from Mule Variations too.

King Harvest (has surely come) - the Band

Is This Music? - the instrumental closer off Teenage Fanclub's Bandwagonesque...this track just...soars....

'a little bleeding' by crooked fingers of first self titled record

Desolation Row- Highway 61 Revisited

That's the one

Another vote for Desolation Row here.
