Album Enders


Recommended Posts

  • 5 months later...

I admittedly haven't heard like 99% of the songs mentioned herein, but the few that I have (The War, Gone, Clear the Air, Train In Vain, Farewell, Chamberlain Waits, Hampton Roads, among others)...just A+++ tracks.  Good choices!

 

My favorite closing track is probably 1-2-8 by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones (although 737/Shoe Glue and A Pretty Sad Excuse are also great entries to the category by them)

 

Other favs!

 

Avail - Fifth Wheel

Hot Water Music - Giver

Bruce Springsteen - Reason to Believe

The Ducky Boys - Crumbling Heart

Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Willesden to Cricklewood

Social Distortion - Angel's Wings

 

And some recent ones!

 

Restorations - Adventure Tortoise

Hot Water Music - Paid in Full

Classics of Love - We Need A Change

Dave Hause - Benediction

 

OK, I've overstayed my welcome now.

off the top of my head, these have stood out:

 

Built to Spill - Stab (There's Nothing Wrong With Love) - although there is a joke "preview" track after it, Stab is a great, full song to end the album.

 

radiohead - life in a glass house (amnesiac)

 

New Order - Leave me alone (Power, Corruption & Lies)

 

Blu & Exile - The world is… (Below the Heavens)

 

David Bowie - Rock n roll suicide (Ziggy Stardust)

Shocked it took 5 pages for someone to say Bright Eyes - Let's not Shit Ourselves.

 

 

I'd add Cursive - What Have I Done. This song absolutely rips. Lyrics are incredible, structurally it's perfect, I just think it's one of the best things they've ever done and such a good ender song.

Also, to reverse. How about songs that SHOULD have been the ender but weren't? I always thought Young and Happy by Hop Along should have been the last song on Get Disowned! Felt like it wound down everything nicely and had a big, strong finish.
