    Fantastic call,

    thank you ...

    lots of good classics on here ... glad Freedom got mentioned for Rage ... as did Release ...

    One "classic" I didn't see ...

    The Clash - London Calling - "Train in Vain"

    I just zipped though my I-pod to find some of the more recent album enders I'm fond of ...

    Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism - "Lack of Color"
    Decemberists - Crane Wife - "Sons & Daughters"
    Futureheads - Futureheads - "Man Ray"
    Placebo - Meds - "Song to Say Goodbye"
    South - With The Tides - "Threadbare"


    And my all time favorite ... from my all time fave band ... and all time fave album ...

    Buffalo Tom - Let Me Come Over - "Crutch"

    Just a beautiful song filled with so much pent up angst you just wait for it to burst ... it teases ... (mentions the two cities I've lived in - Boston and San Francisco) ... it comes in waves, builds ... then Bill let's loose at the end and all is right. They better play this in two weeks when they are here.

    is not the last song on the album.

    Over Now is.

    I'll agree with GNR's "Coma" and NIN's "Hurt" and add one more for now...

    1. Pink Floyd Echoes Meddle (the grandaddy for me, simply an epic masterpiece and still the perfect closer to one of the most important albums in Floyd's evolution) )

    2. U2 Love is Blindness Achtung Baby
    (just a haunting beauty and 2nd only to One on AB, to see it performed live is just awesome, to think the dreck their producing now, Yaweh for fuck sake, Wake Up Dead Man on Pop should get an honorable mention as well, an uncertain U2 is far more an interesting on than the radio friendly unit shifters they've become )

    3. Pink Floyd Shine On 6-9 Wish You were Here
    (not on a par with 1-5 but still an epic sublime closer to my fav album of all time)

    4. Pink Floyd Brain Damage & Eclipse DSOM
    (what can i say 2 perfect songs to end one of the most influential and lasting albums of all time)

    5. Radiohead The Tourist Ok Computer ( just a perfect ending to the 90's masterpiece, dark, sombre & beautiful)

    My favorite album closers,...pretty good list.

    Good list but "Hurt" is on The Downward Spiral. I think "The Great Below" closes out the first disc of "The Fragile" and I think it's a great song.
