Rank an artist's album closers

mil_c [Edit] [Delete] 107 replies 10:34 January 31st, 2013

funkycow's thread is fun. And as suggested, it could be done for album closers too. So I'm going to do R.E.M.

Wendell Gee > Superman > You > Falls To Climb > Me In Honey > Little America > Untitled > Electrolite > Find The River > Oddfellows Local 151 > West Of The Fields > Stumble > Blue > I'm Gonna DJ >>>> Beachball > Around The Sun

Yo La Tengo (very good at epic closers)...

Night Falls On Hoboken > The Story Of Yo La Tengo > I Hear You Looking > Before We Run > Blue Line Swinger > And The Glitter Is Gone > My Little Corner Of The Road > Take Care > Satellite > What Can I Say > Let’s Compromise > Closing Time

(and I know I've missed something...)

    It sets up a groove around that bassline and doesn't get boring through its 17 minutes or whatever.

    - Here's something [probably not] interesting:
      
      I really like that album and I've probably listened to it 20+ times all the way through, but I think I've slept through Night Falls On Hoboken every single time, without fail. Like I've fallen asleep and woken up when the album's finished. Couldn't tell you a thing about it.

Brand New

Soco Amaretto Lime = Play Crack the Sky = Handcuffs = Noro

Seriously, can't choose between them. Brand New are the kings of closing tracks.

Eels are -incredible- at ending albums

PS. You Rock My World > Manchild > On My Feet > Selective Memory* > Ordinary Man > Things The Grandchildren Should Know > Somebody Loves You > Mystery Of Life > What Is This Note?

* E considers "Selective Memory" to be the true final song of Daisies of the Galaxy, which is why he hid "Mr E's Beautiful Blues" at the end after some silence after record company pressure to put it on the album. So I'm going with E's wishes here...
