137881, Albums with a superb closing song. Posted by aesop socks, Tue Dec-08-09 11:29 PM
What last song from an album gave it that perfect ending like a movie or book? Nas on Undying Love from I Am and Radiohead The Tourist from Ok Computer come to mind for me.

137882, Clipse-Hell Hath No Fury-Nightmares Posted by phemom, Tue Dec-08-09 11:32 PM
Perfect ending for such a dark album.

137890, purple rain-- let's go crazy/ purple rain. Posted by Joe Andrews, Thu Feb-11-10 05:38 PM
the entire album is the course of a stormy on again/ off again relationship.
it's bookended perfectly.

137892, Even though ATLiens finished off with "Elevators (ONP 86 Mix)" Posted by zuma1986, Wed Dec-09-09 12:11 AM
I look at it as a bonus track and something on the disc but separate from the album. "13th floor (growing old)" is the true last song and a great song to finish the album. Outkast constantly talked about their personal growth between albums and this song kinda finishes off where they are and where they want to go. And a Big Rube intro doesn't hurt either.

137897, "Last Call" on College Dropout is perfect Posted by zuma1986, Wed Dec-09-09 12:23 AM
Usually those type of songs I listen to once or twice the whole way through and the rest of the time skip once the song part ends. But for some reason this I've listened to so many times, probably b/c Kanye can tell a story that entertaining. It's a shame he doesn't do story-telling raps anymore (IE Apologize, Drive Slow, Home) he wasn't ghostface in terms of skills by any means but defiantly spit some personal shit.
|
137898, ^^^^ Posted by Dr Claw, Wed Dec-09-09 09:26 AM
one of the few songs I really dig on that album... I skipped over it at first but that's one of the great Kanye songs.

137900, "Nights in White Satin" on Days of Future Passed Posted by zuma1986, Wed Dec-09-09 12:31 AM
This is one of those songs that i can't really enjoy if it pops up on the radio b/c of overexposure but if I'm listening to the album it's so amazing. Songs like these are why I prefer to listen to albums over individual songs b/c they take on a whole new feel when put into the album context.

137902, the last 4 or so minutes of "Why You Hate The Game" is amazing. Posted by im_freshhh, Wed Dec-09-09 12:38 AM
not a fan of the rapping from Nas or Game on that song so much. but the beat is insane, Just Blaze did his thing. and the last minutes with Marsha & that choir is just too dope.

especially for the vinyl, which has a locked groove and makes this song go on forever. for real it's still playing right now and and i'm not turing the needle off till i die.

137918, "Pops Rap #2/Fatherhood" off Com's "One Day It'll All Make Sense" Posted by DVS, Wed Dec-09-09 06:50 AM
this is arguably one of Pop's strongest outro's...the words he was speaking hit you in the chest...and the live band feel from "A Black Girl Named Becky" just KILLED it...
|
137919, "Africa" off D'Angelo's "Voodoo" Posted by DVS, Wed Dec-09-09 06:51 AM
what a perfect wind down from a solid album.
|
137920, "Keys of Life" off D.Rose & DJ Cozmos "Taster's Choice" Posted by DVS, Wed Dec-09-09 06:53 AM
the sample is just hypnotic...once again...a hell of a wind down...arguably one of the best songs on the album sending you out the door
|
137921, The DOC w/"The Motherfucking Grand Finale" Posted by DVS, Wed Dec-09-09 06:54 AM

137934, "Maiden Voyage" off "Herbie Hancock's "Cantaloupe Island" Posted by DVS, Wed Dec-09-09 07:07 AM

|
137935, Compilation? Posted by monk hughes, Wed Dec-09-09 09:11 AM
Maiden Voyage is an absolute favourite of mine, but it's from the 1965 album Maiden Voyage.
Cantaloupe Island is a compilation of Herbie's early Blue Note work.

BEAUTIFUL!
|
137941, "Late" off Kanye's "Late Registration" Posted by DVS, Wed Dec-09-09 07:15 AM

137945, "Just To Keep You Satisfied" off Marvin's "Let's Get It On" Posted by DVS, Wed Dec-09-09 07:20 AM

|
137959, "The End" - Abbey Road (The Beatles) Posted by monk hughes, Wed Dec-09-09 09:15 AM
Not sure if you want to count the entire second side Medly as one song, but even if you just include The End itself, with Ringo's drum solo, John, Paul & George all soloing on guitar. The perfect end to their final album.
|
137960, Doesn't it end with "Her Majesty"? Posted by zuma1986, Thu Feb-11-10 08:07 PM
You could say it's a throw-away song but it has been covered by a bunch of artists and therefore making it a legitimate song http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Her_Majesty_%28song%29#Cover_versions

137963, 'Give It All Your Heart', Herbie Hancock, from LITE ME UP! Posted by Dr Claw, Wed Dec-09-09 09:28 AM
an album that could have been an A+ if they let Herbie "sing" the entire album
but out of all the songs he did in this style, this one is second only to "Come Running To Me".
Both he and Patrice Rushen, duetting on a song that could very well have fit on a Quincy Jones-produced album like THRILLER, a killer electric piano solo to close out... great harmonies...
not many people know the song, but I rank it high in his catalog.
|
137964, Gonna have to check for that. Posted by aesop socks, Wed Dec-09-09 08:47 PM

137965, Mr. Lif................ Posted by I. Motion, Wed Dec-09-09 09:37 AM
Dude always has the perfect exit track from each of his LPs.
Hell even his EPs.
from "Arise", "Phantom"
"Post Mortem" (featuring El-P, Jean Grae and Akrobatik)
"For You"
to just this year's "Dawn" .
All these tracks end their respective albums perfectly giving the listener a great over veiw of the entire project.

"True Story pt.2" definitely sounds more like the closer to the album, but since "Don't Nobody Care About Us" isn't listed as a bonus cut, that works as well.

One of my favorite period. It's a shame it's not better recognized or that Talib doesn't delve into storytelling raps more often, I really liked "Happy Home" as well.

138004, I'm pretty sure "Late" is the last song not "gone" Posted by zuma1986, Thu Dec-10-09 12:42 AM
Both a great songs btw
|
138005, I thought about that Posted by Eric B Is Prez, Thu Dec-10-09 01:46 PM
But I'm pretty sure "Late" was a bonus track. I think "Gone" was intended to be the last track of the album proper...

Starting with their 2nd LP
"The Meaning of the Name"
Stay Tune" from Daily Operation (that album by the way is what really let me know Premo was some other shit!)
and the Momnet of Truth's "In Momery of..."
was beyond execellent

138025, It's Your World - Common off "Be" Posted by espresso0, Thu Dec-10-09 01:20 PM
Such a great way to end his returning album. Plus, it proved (to me) that J.Dilla + Common + Bilal = win.
|
138026, I'd agree but I hate the fuckig hi hat pattern on that shit Posted by Garhart Poppwell, Thu Dec-10-09 01:21 PM
it gets on my nerves so bad it keeps me from enjoying the song
|
138027, really? that's what makes it fly to me. Posted by mathmagic, Thu Dec-10-09 02:21 PM
i remember that hi hat wasn't on the track on the bootleg version
|
138028, that shit is too far in front of the mix and the pitch of it is too close Posted by Garhart Poppwell, Thu Dec-10-09 06:45 PM
to the pitch of the snare in fact it's actually sharper it just grates my nerves, along with the extra hit hits at the end of the loop

another 1997 classic-very parallel to the other 1997 classic "The Tourist" (OK Comp/Radiohead).

138036, It's All Gonna Break - Broken Social Scene Posted by ZipZapZopZoup, Thu Dec-10-09 03:56 PM
He's already been mentioned a couple times, but Prince kind of owns this post:
Party Up - Dirty Mind International Lover - 1999 Purple Rain Sometimes It Snows In April - Parade Adore - SOTT Batdance - Batman (maybe not a great song, but what an ending!)
Hmmm, it seems the classic closing tracks dried up around the same time he fell off. Except maybe for Gold.

138037, RE: Albums with a superb closing song. Posted by rtoriq, Thu Dec-10-09 06:40 PM
Damn, yall are really coming with it, esp DVS (Skyy, Green Eyes, The Listening, Africa, Pops Rap II (that's my favorite pops rap too))
i would say:
-Remy Shand - The Mind's Eye
-Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (song)
-Nightmares On Wax - Hey Ego! (On "Thought So" album (2008))
-Alllll of Pops' raps on Common's albums, esp the ones from 1DIWAMS & Be
-OH! Common - Heaven Somewhere (from Electric Circus 2002)
-Shuggie Otis - Freedom Flight (from Inspiration Information 1974)
-Stevie Wonder - Do I Do (from Original Musiquarian I 1982)
But the ultimate number one closing song?
Musiq Soulchild - You Be Alright. (from Aijuswanasing 2000) THAT is the Musiq i miss.

138039, Glory Box off Portishead's Dummy... Posted by jadedeejay, Thu Dec-10-09 07:29 PM
Probably one of the most epic endings to an album I can think of.
A few others, in no particular order...
Cube - No Vasoline from Death Certificate.
Little Brother - Title track off The Listening.
Rhinestone Cowboy off that Madvillain joint.
DOOM - Kookies from Mm..Food.
U.N.K.L.E. - Rabbit In Your Headlights from the Psyence Fiction LP.
Jamiroquai - King For A Day off the Syncronized album.
Freestyle Fellowship - Pure Thought from Innercity Griots. <-- Please listen to this shit on a REAL system! Your bitch ass computer speakers do not do justice to it.
Jurassic 5 - Swing Set from Quality Control & Canto De Ossanha off the (AWFUL) Feedback Album. Most J5 albums end on a high note for me tho.

138060, The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free Posted by Oneironaut, Thu Dec-17-09 12:30 PM
Empty Cans was a great close to the album. Definitely gave it a superb ending, but that might have something to do with it being a concept album.
|
138061, RE: Albums with a superb closing song. Posted by YouAreSleeping, Sat Jan-02-10 02:04 PM
Every Little Brother Album has a Strong closer "When Everything Is New" is a banger "We Got Now" is a Monster "The Listening" is Crazy Hell, "Downtime" for Foreign Exchange will have you hittin the repeat button constantly and just banging that one track

138069, safe to say radiohead = best closers? Posted by DonWonJusuton, Thu Feb-11-10 06:27 PM
- Street Spirit (Fade Out) - The Tourist - Motion Picture Soundtrack - Life in a Glass House - A Wolf at the Door - Videotape
... that's some run, in my opinion.. but yea, some great choices above.. really like badu - green eyes, kanye - last call, common - it's your world, serge gainsbourg - cargo culte 76, prince - adore, hell, prince - purple rain, dilla - last donut/donuts (intro).. not sure which one to count, but either way, it's perfect.. actually, i think big brother was a pretty great closing to graduation, i REALLY like something in the way of things to tie up phrenology, outkast's stanklove.. it just drags on and even though the album is a marathon, you kind of don't want it to end.. i think the track really adds to that effect.. lambchop - is a woman
