Best Album Closing Songs

[Gamebrain]

Well, since theres once that has the first songs of an album, lets think of the best ending songs to albums.


I think my favorite ending to any album Ive heard is a tie between two albums by the same artist, Weezer.

Only In Dreams is a really neat power ballad that ends the Blue Album. Butterfly is a depressing acoustic song that ends Pinkerton.

My runner up would be the last song of Automatic For the People by REM, a song called Find The River (personally my favorite REM song as well)
