Albums where the BEST song is the LAST song!

[rskapcat]

I will sit in silence for the last hour or so of work if "Good Morning Captain" comes up on shuffle near the end of the day. It's just such a sin to waste that on computer speakers that I will wait until I get in my car to listen.

The Yardbirds - Respectable - Five Live Yardbirds Side One

[bmack86]

I was almost late to my 6pm class because I was listening to Spiderland this afternoon and I couldn't bring myself to leave.

[TallGuyCM]

My absolute favorite "the more you know" fact that I never knew before just recently is that Will Oldham took the Spiderland cover photo.

It's really hard to boil it down to this because it's so chock full of great songs, but:

[HotHamWater]

Did this masturbatory thread already produce a parody thread? Something like "Albums where the BEST song is a song with ONE WORD!" or "Albums where the BEST song has the word SONG in the title!"

[bmack86]

It's really hard to boil it down to this because it's so chock full of great songs, but:

Incorrect. Something I Learned Today, Chartered Trip, Turn on the News, Never Talking to You Again, Pink Turns to Blue and Whatever are all superior in my mind.

[theklein25]

This album has one of the best finishes

[zachyd]

I might say Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland - Born to Run, but I also might say that the first track (Thunder Road) is better. Hard to pick.

Yes, there were several such threads.

EDIT:
Albums with bananas
Albums with songs
Albums without songs

[HotHamWater]

Yes, there were several such threads.

Way to go, board. I'm proud.

[lt.roast.a.botch]

kings of leon - only by the night - cold desert [ok ok but it WAS the best song off that album. flame away]

franz ferdinand - you can have it so much better - outsiders

[isnate]

Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues - This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)
LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening - Home
The National - Alligator - Mr. November
Death Cab for Cutie - We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes - Scientist Studies
Bon Iver - Bon Iver - Beth/Rest

Just kidding on that last one. I hate that song.

[Alchemy]

Regarding The Bends, I prefer "Black Star" over "Street Spirit (Fade Out)." Regarding Ladies and Gentlemen..., I prefer "I Think I'm in Love" over "Cop Shoot Cop..." Regarding London Calling, I prefer "Spanish Bombs" over "Train in Vain."

Oh, and regarding Loveless, I prefer "What You Want" over "Soon."

[bmack86]

I might say Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland - Born to Run, but I also might say that the first track (Thunder Road) is better. Hard to pick.

No, Thunder Road is clearly the better song.

Regarding The Bends, I prefer "Black Star" over "Street Spirit (Fade Out)." Regarding Ladies and Gentlemen..., I prefer "I Think I'm in Love" over "Cop Shoot Cop..." Regarding London Calling, I prefer "Spanish Bombs" over "Train in Vain."

Oh, and regarding Loveless, I prefer "What You Want" over "Soon."

Just and Fake Plastic Trees are both better as well. You are completely correct with Spiritualized and London Calling.

[Mammoth85]

Pink Floyd: Meddle - Echoes

Nice.

[TickleMeElmo]

Portishead's "Dummy" - Glory Box

And Street Spirit is the best song off The Bends. Hell, according to Setlist.fm, it's their most played song tied with Lucky.

[lehorne]

[Mr. Fuzz]

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

The Clash - London Calling - "Train in Vain"

I'm more of a "Brand New Cadillac" type of guy.

[Mr. Fuzz]

Sonic Youth - Washing Machine - "The Diamond Sea"

This is the BEST for sure!

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

And Street Spirit is the best song off The Bends. Hell, according to Setlist.fm, it's their most played song tied with Lucky.

Planet Telex and The Bends itself are my favorites.

[Ray del Mundo]

Leif Erickson

Planet Telex might be my favorite Radiohead song. So incredible.

[TallGuyCM]

Jim O'Rourke - Insignificance

[corbo]

just got back from the hb show and hearing this played live was Kind of Awesome

[nicholasyames]

loving a lot of these for sure.

here are some of mine:

'a day in the life' - sgt. peppers lonely hearts club band - the beatles
'separator' - the king of limbs - radiohead
'past and pending' - oh, inverted world - the shins
'it's all gonna break' - broken social scene - broken social scene
'sleep forever' - in the mountain in the cloud - portugal. the man
'so long you pretty thing' - sweet heart sweet light - spiritualized
'house of jealous lovers' - echos - the rapture
'how deep is your love?' - in the grace of your love - the rapture (tough one!)
'we all belong' - we all belong - dr. dog
'from the morning' - pink moon - nick drake
'brothersport' - merriweather post pavilion - animal collective
'one sunday morning (song for jane smiley's boyfriend)' - the whole love - wilco
'grown ocean' - helplessness blues - fleet foxes
'dondante' - z - my morning jacket

lets talk.

[bmack86]

'from the morning' - pink moon - nick drake

This is an interesting one. I'd say it's the prettiest song on there, and the only one I can think of that I'd say might be better is Parasite, but at the same time From the Morning is the dark ray of sunshine at the end of a bleak masterpiece.

'brothersport' - merriweather post pavilion - animal collective

Summertime Clothes.

[corbo]

difficult to pick the best one out of Pink Moon
my favorite is Place to Be
my favorite Nick Drake song period.

[nyarlathotoats]

I agree with 'a day in the life', but I can't get behind 'dondante'. Its a good song, but not the best on the album.

[stuporfly]

just got back from the hb show and hearing this played live was Kind of Awesome

That album is just incredible from beginning to end. Hard to fault your choice, though "So What" and "All Blues" are probably my favorites on there.
