XTC ended with the frankly fabulous The Wheel And The Maypole - with 200+ mostly-excellent songs in their career it did pretty well to enter the top echelon

Mr Bungle ended with CHAKCHAKCHAKCHAKACHAKACHAKACHAKA*ROAAAAAARRRR* which was, all things told, a fairly decent sign-off

Talk Talk ended with probably as perfect and simple a closing statement as could be imagined, in Runeii

But this thread, for me, is totally killed dead by GY!BE, coz Motherfucker=Redeemer (especially Part 2) is for me their absolute, fomenting pinnacle, as beautiful as it is crushing
