Actually, you are being a snog, but no hard feelings. Its pretty obvious i meant "The Ascension" and I was specifically referring to the song "nicodemus" on the CD not "solid foundation" which is the last on the original vinyl.

Great songs and the end of an album I think are:

Bike - Pink Floyd (Piper at the Gates of Dawn)
Her Majesty - The Beatles (Abbey Road)
Saturday Sun - Nick Drake (Five Leaves Left)
The Kick Inside - Kate Bush (The Kick Inside)
Take it or leave it - The Strokes (Is This It)
Married With Children - Oasis (Definitely Maybe)
Don't Ya Rile 'Em - Frank Black (Frank Black)
Effervescing Elephant - Syd Barrett (Barrett)
Consequence - The Notwist (Neon Golden)
Tomorrow Never Knows - The Beatles (Revolver)
Dream Sequence #1 - dEUS (The Ideal Crash)
The Past and Pending - The Shins (Oh, Inverted World)
Luna - The Smashing Pumpkins (Siamese Dream)
Oh! Sweet Nuthin' - The Velvet Underground (Loaded)
Your Saving Grace - The Steve Millder Band (Your Saving Grace)

Chill, Chill i listed "Nicodemus" as the closing track because i was under the impression that disk 2 was just different mixes. Maybe i was wrong but does it really matter?

1. I Am The Ressurection - The Stone Roses
2. Time of The Season - The Zombies
3. Train In Vain - The Clash
4. Champagne Supernova - Oasis
5. Rip Off - T. Rex

A great closer should be the icing on the cake of any great album. It is the mouth-watering dessert after a great meal. When considering a great album, the closer is as important as the opener. With that in mind, these song are the truly satisfying ends to great albums:

Find the River (Automatic for the People)-R.E.M.
Sweet Nothin' Loaded- The Velvet Underground
Desolation Row- (Highway 61 Revisited) Bob Dylan
It's All Over Now Baby Blue-Bringing it All Back Home-Bob Dylan
The End- The Doors
You Can't Always Get What You Want- ]Let it Bleed-The Rolling Stones
Judy and the Dream of Horses-If You're Feeling Sinister-Belle and Sebastian
Reservations- Yankee Hotel Foxtro Wilco

And the still the greatest closer ever:

A Day in the Life- The Beatles (Tomorrow Never Knows is a close second)

[Lucy]

Pink Floyd- Wish you were here- Shine on you crazy diamond part 2
