Albums where the BEST song is the LAST song!
Dumb idea for a thread perhaps.....but in my experience most albums are front-loaded with most of the great songs being early in the tracklisting.
Just curious what albums you guys think are out there where the best song on the album is the very LAST one. I always thought this was a great way to end an album and make a statement and leave a strong impression on the listener.
A few off the top of my head.....
Nirvana: In Utero - All Apologies
Radiohead: The Bends - Street Spirit
Sigur Ros: () - Untitled #8
Muse: Black Holes and Revelations - Knights of Cydonia
Weezer: Blue Album - Only in Dreams

stones: let it bleed "you can't always get what you want"

IDK. What's your favorite..."Aluminum", "Expecting", "I'm finding it Harder to be a Gentleman" or are you more the "Dead Leaves Dirty Ground", "Union Forever" type fella? I just love the way that "This Protector" closes out the album. How many people are living out there in West Virgina?
