What are some of the best closing tracks? The last track of an album is usually the one that leaves a lasting impression, they can either make or break an album as a whole. I always look forward to the last track of an album, my favourite songs are usually the closer.
A few that come to mind for me:
505 - Favourite Worst Nightmare, Arctic Monkeys
A Day In The Life - Sgt. Peppers, The Beatles
Tea For The Tillerman - Tea For The Tillerman, Cat Stevens
Rock n Roll Suicide - Ziggy Stardust, David Bowie
Hacker - The Money Store, Death Grips
Seize The Day - Self Titled, End of Fashion
Hot Knife - The Idler Wheel..., Fiona Apple
BaBopByeYa - The Archandroid, Janelle Monae
The Repudiated Immortals - The Sunlandic Twins, of Montreal
NYC-25 - Dusk At Cubist Castle, The Olivia Tremor Control
Eclipse - Dark Side of The Moon, Pink Floyd
In The Laps of The Gods... Revisited - Sheer Heart Attack, Queen
I Think I Lost My Headache - Rated R, Queens of The Stone Age
La Villa Strangiato - Hemispheres, Rush
Spinning In Daffodils - Self Titled, Them Crooked Vultures
I Think Ur A Contra - Contra, Vampire Weekend
That was a few more than I thought I would list, but these are just my personal favourites. I love a good closer, please tell me your favourites!
505 and A Day in the Life are also amongst my favourite choices.
