Haha, that's what I wrote in a review (not published yet) earlier this week. LOL

My favourite intro is a bit more difficult, having to choose between the piano on Locomotive Breath, the vocal on Dancing with the Moonlit Knight or Script for the Jester's tear, and the guitar and bass on Working Man. Depends on my mood I guess. Gotta go now - Working Man's next on the jukebox Wink

There are too many for me to remember off the top of my head!
 
Supper's Ready obviously comes to mind - its superb climax  can leave you breathless! Clap
Gates Of Delirium is another, such a beautiful ending! Smile
 
Devil's Playground has a tremendous climax, with Gildenlow sounding especially effective! Big%20smile
 
Masters Of Illusion has a wonderful 'epic' guitar solo to end it! Star
 
But there are so many....Confused

For an intro, I can't beat "Watcher of the skies" by Genesis. The first time I heard this was in The Apollo theatre in Glasgow in the early 1970's. I had heard nothing by Genesis before I went to the gig, then Tony Banks played the mellotron intro in the total darkness. Shivers up the spine does not begin to describe the feeling.
 
Ending wise, I'd go for John Mitchell's guitar solo at the end of Arena's album "The visitor". It brings in various themes from the album beautifully.

I agree! The fade out completely kills the end of Suppers Ready for me, cause up to that it's probably the greatest ending ever

I very much like the end of "The Chamber of the 32 Doors" by Genesis. A great outro/end is the end of "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" by VdGG.

Favourite "outro" - La Villa Strangiato. Can't say why, but as a top song in my mind, it just stands out as great ending to a great song.

That's what I said! I made a thread about it, and everyone basically yelled at me. Although I said I didn't like part 7, so that might have been part of it. It should have neded with the return to the Lovers' Leap theme.
 
Gates of Delirium, Echoes, Plague of Lighthouse Keepers, and lots of others I can't  think of.

The best intro has to be Death On Two Legs by Queen.
 
best outro is from Supertramp the final minute from Crime Of  The  Century.

That's the problem when we talk about "vacas sagradas" (I don't know if you use the same expression "sacred cows") like Supper's Ready that seem untouchable.
 
I'm a fan of Genesis and a hardcore one of the 5 men era but I'm not deaf but over all I Know what I Like, Supper's Ready has excellent sections like Apocalypse in 9/8 but if I had to stay with only one track from Foxtrot I would go with Can-Utility and the Coastliners...more complete IMHO.

Great Intros
 
"Return Of The Giant Hogweed" - Genesis; You immediately know you're going on a ride.
 
"Vidrar vel til loftrasa" - Sigur Rós; The piano is just perfect.
 
"Brave" - Marillion; The bagpipes and white-noise create this wonderful texture for the rest of the song to work around.
 
Great Outros
 
"Supper's Ready" - Genesis; Yeah, fadeouts are often lame. I just can't argue with the minutes preceding the fadeout. The singing is out of this world, and Banks just creates this sound that cannot be matched.
 
"The Dead Flag Blues" - Godspeed You! Black Emperor; The last section, entitled "(Outro)", is just pure musical magic.
 
"Pigs On The Wing (Part II)" - Pink Floyd; I'm putting this up there with the others mostly because it's such a great release from all the tension and darkness in the middle three epics.

No question at all -- my all-time favourite ending of a song is that of "My Room" (Van der Graaf Generator, Still Life).
