One that I always loved was the ending of roundabout.
The polyphonic harmony between Anderson, Howe, and Squire, and finish it off with Howe's acoustic.

Those bells near the end of Supper's Ready enchant me. I like the grandiloquent closing of The Musical Box too.
I remember also the vibrant near-ending of A Passion Play: 'break the circle stretch the line call upon the devil..."

The ending of any pop song is good, it means the trash is over

The best way to end a song is to go for random noises or sound effects!

Ummm, Starless anyone??
Also Shine On You Crazy Diamond part II has a great ending, not only for the song but for the entire record
A third one that comes to mind is Ice by Camel; ending the song in a similar way as it began, very nice.

Someone mentioned Siberian Kathru.. I think Howe is incredible at the end of it and keeps me wondering about the richness of Steve' lines and the fact he doesn't leave anything without arrangement no matter the position in the song or the volume..
And I also like very much the power of the ending of Lark's Tongues In Aspic part II which seems to me like the end of the whole album as well..

My vote goes to the very end of "Watcher of the Skies", the abbreviated version they did on the 1976 Tour will B. Bruford. This is on Three Sides Live as most of you know. Love that ending.
A close second would be the final notes of "The Knife", studio.
Love this EDIT button too, gives me a chance to add another one - the closing instrumental on "The Lady Lies", studio version. Phil's really doin' those drums, real hard jazz-like.

I guess the best ending of a song are (at least for me) The musical box again (it was my first choice) and also in the court of the Crimson King, the way it ends and then continuos only to end again with all the instruments "going up"...and then the album just stops!!! Brilliant

"Larks' Tongues in Aspic Part I" has a great ending. It just suddenly goes all spooky, it's brilliant. And I think, not as a song in itself, but as the conclusion of the album, "Eclipse" from DSotM is brilliant. It really manages to close off the album brilliantly. Those last two lines are great.

Gates of delirium - Soon
Shine on... (part IX)
A Saucerful of secrets - celestial voices
Close to the edge
dolcissima maria (pfm)
lady fantasy (camel)
this list is incomplete (of course!), 'cause we always can remember or listen to a tune we didn't put here.

I quite like the endings for "Script for a Jester's Tear" by Marillion and "Masters of Of Illusion" by Pendragon.

I might say "The Musical Box," but I've only listened to it once or twice and can't remember the ending.
