 Topic: Best album ending
Posted: December 09 2007 at 09:18 |

these are 3 of my favorite album closers I can think of. Which one do you enjoy more?
Note: Don't vote for your favorite album
Note2: Don't vote for the song, just vote according to that song's climax/ending.

"Life in Motion" is the best song on the list, but for the ending, it's without a doubt "To Be Over".

Hmmm.....Throw Down the Sword (Wishbone Ash) has a pretty monstrous ending.

Happy to see To Be Over in this poll. I think it's one of those songs that don't get talked about often enough (probably because it's on the same album as TGOD). One of my favorite endings for sure- climax written all over it, leaving you thirsty for more.

I havent heard the Flower Kings album, but neither Camel nor Yes comes as incredible endings.... my vote will always go to the ending of In the court of the Crimson King, love it, love it, love it

Lunar Sea by a mile of those listed but Throw Down the Sword is damn close - sad it's not on the list.

Yeah, I agree that Throw Down the Sword has a very very good ending. Probably the only enjoyable couple of minutes in the whole album.
Supper's Ready's last 9 minutes are amazing. I probably should have included it, though that fadeout at the end bothers me.
Yes' To Be Over's ending has a heavenly harmony of vocals and instrumentation that moves me more than almost anything.
Camel's Lunar Sea ends with a very energetic pace, plays one of the best guitar solos I have ever heard (and I don't really dig Camel), changes time signature into an addicting bass/synth interplay, and ends with a fantastic atmospheric synthesizer with one of the best guitar riffs of all times (IMO).
The Flower Kings' Life In Motion, while not their greatest track, ends with a very powerful anthem of peace and love with fantastic singing and keyboard playing.

Nione of the above. I'm going with the "As sure as eggs is eggs" section of Supper's Ready.

Have you heard Steve's acoustic and instrumental version on Natural Timbres? It's a huge improvement over the original. The last I checked he's got samples from that album on his website.

Yea, Three Friends has a really beautiful vocal harmony-based finale. It tends to make me rewind in order to hear it again.

I just reviewed three friends and gave it only 2 stars, but I mentioned that the title track is the best!
I love the end of Renaissance "A Song for All Seasons" or Strawbs' "Ghosts". Full of emotion not to mention heavy organ and/or orchestration.
