Brain Damage/Eclipse ... whether you like the Dark Side of the Moon or not, you have to admit that this IS a classic closer.


I don't know, I always felt like Eclipse was one of the weaker tracks on Dark Side. Brain Damage, on the other hand...

I know what you mean, though. Quality of the song by itself aside, it is a classic closer.

Quite possibly among the three best songs on that album. And it's a funny thing about Who's Next, its two most famous tracks are its opener and the closer. ๐Ÿค”

Yeah, Eclipse fits as a closer perfectly. It sounds like an epic conclusion to a journey.

It's also one of my fav Beatles songs and is the perfect ending for Revolver. It was recorded as the first track for the album, in April if I'm correct, but it was put for the last song. It's like they wanted to show the direction: 'psychedelia will rule the next two years.'

As far as I know, The Kinks' See My Friends and The Yardbirds Heart Full of Soul was about a year before Tomorrow Never Knows. That being said, The Beatles did psychedelia slightly better.
