I agree as well as the ending to "Lamb lies..." "It" is a great way to tie up that album..

Awaken is a good call. I like the last 23 minutes of Echoes a lot too.

Going to have to add the end of Seconds Out as one of the most epic live endings in the world.

"To Be Over" has one of the best endings in progressive rock, period.

Thanks for mentioning "Starless" from "red" - that would have been my first choice, shortly followed by "Awaken" from "Going for the One" - To be Over is pretty, but it's not Awaken!

I don't know the Flower Kings album, so I didn't vote. Doesn't seem to be any harm in posting my thoughts, though.

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"

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

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.

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

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 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!

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.

Agreed on Supper's Ready but it is not for everyone.

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.

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