    In The Moonlight has always been a fade out that has just irritated the hell out of me....it's right in the middle of Mike wailing and it's just a flat out tease.

    Well...

    I think in the end it depends on the fade out... some are well done, some are not. But I have to say (and it hurts) that Pearl Jam is not really good in making fade outs...

    Maybe it's not entirely their fault, but they have ears and should fix things when someone messes up!

    One for all... The fade out in Wishlist.... can't stand it!!!
    Makes me ache, makes me shake...
    ...is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    Most People Are DJ's by The Hold Steady. Check it out - it's the most teasing abrupt ending ever. :D
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    Not the song, just the fade out. Yes, cheesy.

    I kinda see what people are talking about with the fadeouts, but I feel personally that this is one of the better artistic uses of the fadeout. The entire song is about how unsatisfied and wanting we are as a society and it ends in what could be interpreted as a neverending list of wishes............

    Very appropriate to this song I think!

    My biggest disappointment with PJ fading out has to be Life Wasted, if only because I heard the leak first before the album came out and the mess at the end of it is super cool!

    Fade out and come back stronger again.

    Suspicious Minds by Elvis rocks the way it comes back even better than before. You think that a great song is over then suddenly you've got just a bit more to enjoy.

    Television 'Marquee Moon' being the quintessential example, although technically no fade out in the middle - the note just lingers and then there is silence... silence... silence... rolling bass guitar. Wow!

    you guys are all nuts. i loooove a good fade out.

    Best fade out ever, Belle and Sebastian's 'Boy With The Arab Strap'.

    I'm always straining to hear what he is singing at the end as the sound just dies away. I make it as far as "You're constantly updating your hit parade of you ten biggest wan*s, she's a waitress and she's got stars" and I think there is another line but I just can't make it out.
