I personally think that none of those are, because the best ending is the ending of In the Presence of Enemies by Dream Theater.  (so dramatic, makes my spine tingle every time)

I kind of like the ending of Guru Guru's "Mani und seine Freunde". not performed by the band itself; instead they present us with an excerpt of a live recording of Champion Jack Duprey. very original ending indeed

To Be Over for sure. Great song that doesn't get enough recognition.

agreed here too. Hard to imagine a more majestic and emotional ending as this masterpiece, especially from Apocalypse in 9/8 through to the end of As Sure as Eggs is Eggs (Aching Men's Feet). The epitome of a prog climax.

Everything is magnificent about the "Relayer" album, even that mantric chanting on soft percussion, plus the final guitar lines. I voted for the "Relayer" ending, just to make it "official".
 
        Kind regards.

I voted for To Be Over, but would also have included As Sure as Eggs is Eggs and Van der Graaf Generator's Pawn Hearts ending  - spine tingling!

I love the ending of Supper's Ready. Makes me feel like I'm being drawn into the golden light of some heavenly paradise. My favorite ending has to be The End off of the Beatles Abbey Road. Puts an end to the medley and it really was the end of their career, because it was record after Let It Be. I wish they would've kept Her Majesty off though. Usually I just stop the album before it comes on.

I don't know The Flower Kings one, so not voting.

I find Lunar Sea pretty bland, and I like To Be Over, though I don't think it's in the top 10 endings, for me.

These'd be something like:

Vital Signs - Rush
Cygnus X-I - Rush
Islands - King Crimson
Fracture - King Crimson
Crime Of The Century - Supertramp
The Fountain Of Salmacis - Genesis
Supper's Ready - Genesis
Time Machine - Colosseum
Lady Fantasy - Camel
Echoes - Pink Floyd

The ending for Echoes was so strange. I love it. The Shepard Scale at the end makes me feel like I'm being sucked into a void.

"To be Over" is a fantastic track and has such a great ending, superb way to end that album.

My guess is that To Be Over will win as it's the one most people are familiar with. Should people only vote if they know all three albums?
 
And I'd like to throw in a mention for "Starless", closer for KC's "Red"
