Albums where the BEST song is the LAST song!

[knytt]

Ben Folds Five - Ben Folds Five - "Boxing"

[Courtney]

Sonic Youth - Washing Machine - "The Diamond Sea"

[TallGuyCM]

Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space - "Cop Shoot Cop..."

[SoulDischarge]

The Trilogy



Cop Shoot Cop



Gouge Away

All of these are debatable since pretty much every song on them are the best. But they're all perfect endings and I always look forward to hearing them as soon as I put on the first track.

[Boourns]

Pulp - We Love Life - "Sunrise"



Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde - "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" (gave up on trying to find a non-cover on youtube)

St. Vincent - Actor - "Just the Same but Brand New"



Sufjan Stevens - Age of Adz - "Impossible Soul"


Gang Gang Dance - Eye Contact - "Thru and Thru"


Blonde Redhead - Penny Sparkle - "Spain"


Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights - "Leif Erikson"

[SoulDischarge]

I'm really, really fond of "Bar Italia" as a closer.

[dorkfish]

The Replacements - Tim - "Here Comes A Regular"

winner.

[Courtney]

Is it cheating to choose a song that takes up over 50% of an album?

Can - Monster Movie - "Yoo Doo Right"

[dorkfish]

Probably. I would go Godspeed's Yanqui U.X.O.'s Motherfucker=Redeemer / Motherfucker = Redeemer (cont), in that case.

[ambient sounds]

Radiohead- Kid A- Motion Picture Soundtrack. Not technically the best song but just laying in bed in the middle of night waiting for the last part just took you somewhere else.

[Spooks]

off the top of my head.....
1) Aphex Twin "Actium" - Selected Ambient Works 85-92
2) Kraftwerk "The Man Machine - The Man Machine
3) Bright Eyes "Let's Not Shit Ourselves" - Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground

[Spooks]

Totally agree. My favorite song off of Ok Computer is The Tourist......

[Miroir Noir]

Someone is probably going to disagree with me on this, but:

The Clash - London Calling - "Train in Vain"

You are right on with Tim and "Here Comes a Regular," but I can think of a good half a dozen songs on London Calling that are better than "Train in Vain."

[dorkfish]

The Doors - Waiting for the Sun - "Five to One"

[kreutz2112]

Not only is this the best song on Seven Swans, It's the best Sufjan song period.

[Miroir Noir]

Bruce Springsteen: Darkness on the Edge of Town - Title Track

Which reminds me, the best "last song of the album is always excellent" band working today: The Hold Steady.
"Killer Parties"
"How a Resurrection Really Feels"
"Southtown Girls"
"Slapped Actress"

A personal favorite would be Johnny Cash: American Recordings - "The Man Who Couldn't Cry (Live)"

[nathanfairchild]

Mew: Frengers - Comforting Sounds

[rskapcat]

Which reminds me, the best "last song of the album is always excellent" band working today: The Hold Steady.
"Killer Parties"
"How a Resurrection Really Feels"
"Southtown Girls"
"Slapped Actress"

Agree 100%.

[GnarVee]

dredg - El Cielo

[FEELS]

Morrissey - Vauxhall And I - "Speedway"
Probably my favorite Morrissey song too next to "Late Night, Maudlin St."

[amyzzz]

Where's the "Albums where the BEST song is the SECOND song" thread?

[I'dDoItAllAgain]

Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights - "Leif Erikson"

Better than "Say Hello to the Angels"?

Fuck no.

[getbetter]

HA!

Someone of you guys have HORRIBLE CHOICES.

I'll agree with these though (note some of the bands you guys have mention I couldn't give a flying fuck about example Beatles):

tool: Ænema "third eye"

Arcade Fire: Neon Bible - My Body is a Cage

Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest - He Would Have Laughed

[hendrixfan143]

Wrong.

agreed. That is probably my least favorite Nirvana song

[Bons222000]

When I read this (which I completely disagree with):

beatles: magical mystery tour "all you need is love"

The first thing I thought of was this (which completely I agree with):

Also, how is this the 13th post and I'm the first person to mention "Tomorrow Never Knows" and "A Day in the Life"?

And this strikes me as an odd thing to say:

(note some of the bands you guys have mention I couldn't give a flying fuck about example Beatles)

Because if you are into modern music at all, you indirectly give a flying fuck about the Beatles. Whatever you listen to was influenced by them. Examples: Arcade Fire and Tool.
