October 8, 200916 yr listening Foreground by Grizzly Bear made me realise that sooo many of the great albums end with incredible songs. here are my album of year selections recently 2009 - Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear - ends with Foreground 2008- S/T Fleet Foxes - ends with Oliver James 2007 - In Rainbows by Radiohead - ends with videotape 2006- Whatever People Say... by Arctic Monkeys - ends with A Certain Romance 2005- S/T Wolfmother - ends with Vagabond others include Take It or Leave It by The Strokes and Amsterdam by Coldplay. all of the songs i've mentioned are some of my faves of all times. brings truth to the saying, Saving the best for last.
October 8, 200916 yr Good question. Amsterdam is an amazing final track. My favourite 'album closer' is actually a track that is 2nd last on the Editor's record, 'An End Has A Start'... 'Spiders'.... I just get the feeling that something is coming to an end when I hear that. It's a great playlist closer.
October 8, 200916 yr Death And All Of His Friends/The Escapist...awesome The Tourist (OK Computer-Radiohead) Motion Picture Soundtrack (Kid A-Radiohead) Shadow Of Your Man (I'll Be Lightning-Liam Finn) Poor Cow (Writers Block-Peter Bjorn And John) and yeah Videotape (In Rainbows-Radiohead)
October 8, 200916 yr I'll think of more later, but my two favorites closer songs from my two favorite bands are Pearl Jam's "Release" and U2's "40".
October 8, 200916 yr uum, a little song. you might have heard of it. its called AMSTERDAM. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwf5iRBbilM]YouTube - Coldplay - Amsterdam (Live 2003)[/ame] :bigcry: its just so.. beautiful! :lol: anyway, here's a few more: "her majesty," from abbey road. "bold as love," from axis: bold as love. "only in dreams," from the blue album. "my first wedding," from tales of love, loss and desparation. "everythings not lost," from parachutes. there's a lot more.. i just cant think of them at the moment:nice:
October 8, 200916 yr Author and my fave album of 2004 is S/T Franz Ferdinand which ends with 40' SOOOO AWESOME!
October 8, 200916 yr wolf parade and sunset rubdown albums definitely have the best closing tracks (over ten minutes long). Sunset Rubdown - Dragon's Lair Wolf Parade - Kissing the Beehive
October 8, 200916 yr Amsterdam for me as well. Doesn't get much better for a closer than that. But I like The Wanderer by U2 featuring Jonny Cash on Zooropa as well.
October 8, 200916 yr My 1st Song ending the Black Album was the a really good closing. :dance: wooot. I love that album :escaping:
October 8, 200916 yr Amsterdam, indeed. But also: A Day in the Life closing Sgt. Pepper's (The Beatles). That last Pianochord - goosebumps. Plus Married with Children and Champagne Supernova by Oasis, closing Definitely Maybe and (What's the Story?) Morning Glory, respectively, aswell as The Shins' The Past and Pending, which is on Oh, Inverted World. All are extraordinary brilliant.
October 8, 200916 yr [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6QnK0yql8s]Resurrection[/ame] at the end of The Stone Roses s/t first album is the. best. album closer ever...fact! ;) Other notable mentions include.. * Comforting Sounds at the end of Frengers (Mew) cos it's just so epic * Happiness at end of West Ryder (kasabian) which is just achingly beautiful * Everything's Not Lost , of course - Amsterdam's good, but ENL is better :) * A Day in The Life from Sgt Pepper's * Bonus at the end of Travis's The Man Who is pretty special too :D
October 8, 200916 yr [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpGizNPuXZQ]YouTube - Sunset Rubdown - Dragon's Lair[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2shLapSNr0U]YouTube - Wolf Parade - Kissing The Beehive [At Mount Zoomer 2008][/ame]
October 8, 200916 yr Honestly all album closers by Beck, and Radiohead are really great! Also... A Day in the Life-Beatles Good Night-Beatles Amsterdam-Coldplay Brain Damage/Eclipse-Pink Floyd Echoes-Pink Floyd ...my mind is blanking, but i'm sure there's more
October 8, 200916 yr Resurrection[/url] at the end of The Stone Roses s/t first album is the. best. album closer ever...fact! ;) How could I've forgotten this song...the outro is epic!
October 8, 200916 yr I think "Megalomania" from Muse's "Origin of Symmetry" is a great closing track, especially with the strong organ at the end. :heart:
October 8, 200916 yr Great thread. Among my favorites are: Motion Picture Soundtrack - Radiohead The Tourist - Radiohead Amsterdam - Coldplay Champagne Supernova - Oasis In The Backseat - Arcade Fire Leif Erikson - Interpol Lower Your Eyes to Die With The Sun - M83 My Weakness - Moby A Day In The Life - The Beatles Goodnight, Travel Well - The Killers Mothers Of The Disappeared - U2 Popplagio - Sigur Ros All Alright - Sigur Ros honourable mentions: The Past & Pending - The Shins I Love - Athlete Take it or Leave It - The Strokes Bedshaped - Keane
October 8, 200916 yr Author ^^ wow cant believe i forgot A Day In The Life. trumps everything else IMO.
October 8, 200916 yr Oh and I forgot about Champagne Supernova. Is there a more famous closer than that?
October 9, 200916 yr Author ^^ interesting. that was my only criticism of the album, that the tracks were a little out of place. otherwise its one of the best albums i've ever heard (Jonny Greenwood says that too, so it must be right) when i get the chance i'll post on the GB appreciation thread what i think the track listing should of been
October 12, 200916 yr Yes, A Day In The Life is epic. That term is overused these days but not on this occasion.
October 12, 200916 yr Bedshaped - Keane Ruled By Secrecy - Muse - I think this is an amazing song yet it seems pretty underrated The Lightning Strike - Snow Patrol Those are the only ones i can think of atm that haven't already been mentioned...
