Period.

 

"On My Own" rules.

 

I’ve always thought Styx had some strong album closers, though they’re not necessarily the best tracks.

“Mission to Mars” - The Mission
“The Grand Finale”- The Grand Illusion
“Aku Aku” - Pieces of Eight
“State Street Sadie” - Paradise Theater (short and sweet but captures the Theater mood)

In addition,

“Gypsy Pilot” (sadly prophetic)- Rudy the Fifth by Rick Nelson and The Stone Canyon Band
“Cheatin” (nice country vibe send-off) - New Miserable Experience by the Gin Blossoms
“Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You” (heartwrenching)- Rock a Little by Stevie Nicks
“Tel Aviv” (instrumentals make great album closers)- Duran Duran by Duran Duran
“Fractured Mirror” (ditto instrumental comment)- Ace Frehley by Ace Frehley
“Last Resort” (epic statement about the environment) - Hotel California by the Eagles

 

Odyssey And Oracle - Time Of The Season

 

ZZ Top - Fandango! ("Tush")

 

And one of the best songs in the entire Beach Boys’ catalog.

 

It has been mentioned twice already, but Hallowed Be Thy Name is not only the best closing song, but possibly the greatest song ever, IMO.

 

I've listed these before on another thread, but these..

Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure
From: For Your Pleasure

Kate Bush - Breathing
From: Never For Ever

Bruce Springsteen - It's Hard To Be a Saint In The City
From: Greetings From Asbury Park

Laurie Anderson - Lighting Out For The Territories
From: United States

 

Yes / Going For The One / Awaken

 

Can't argue with that, but The Stone Roses ' I am the resurrection' runs it a close second.
