Songs with the best outro you have ever heard?

Vinnie Vincent Invasion "Animal"

A brutal guitar assault. Jump to the 4:30 mark

 

Great choice with I am the Resurrection. The Roses & John Leckie really coming together on that one!

 

Bad Guy by Billie Eilish. The tempo cuts in half, the beats go from a muffled house 4/4 to a skittering trap beat. And I love that the outro is what she initially came up with - her brother Finneas heard Billie putting the beat together in her room, sampled it, smoothed it out, and that got them working on the rest of the song

 

Steely Dan-Aja and Third World Man
Rolling Stones-Can't You Hear Me Knocking

 

Joe Jackson - "I'm The Man"

 

The Beach Boys - "A Day in the Life of a Tree"

 

King's X - Silent Wind

 

The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game-The Marvelettes,the LP version...Thriller[that Vincent Price laugh]...The Shadow Of Your Love-Temptations...Starbright-Johnny Mathis.

 

Why Does Love Got to be So Sad - Derek and the Domnios In Concert

I could listen for another 10 minutes if EC kept on going.

 

Merle Haggard - I Think I'll Just Stay Here And Drink

 

Love the outro on "Societies Child" by Janis Ian:

That little organ riff gives me chills every time

 

Brilliant!

 

Can’t believe that after five pages into this thread I have to come in here and set the record straight, like I’m the problem fixer Mr. White cleaner-upper guy. But I accept my burden; it is for the greater good.

Hey Jude.

The song that started the whole outro thing. The Rosetta Stone, the double helix of pop outros. Often emulated, never equaled. The Mic Drop of outros.

You're welcome.

 

That has an outro? I can't shut it off fast enough, so I've never known that.

 

Nice pull.

 

the who: let's see action: love the nothing/evertything part

 

A few great outros that I can think of....

Sheep and Pigs (3DO) are equally awesome outros from the Floyd
Yankee Rose - David Lee Roth
I Want You (She's So Heavy) - The Beatles
2112 part VII Grand Finale - Rush

 

Jason Isbell - "Anxiety"

 

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Sir Psycho Sexy. Some real John Frusciante guitar magic there

 

19th Nervous Breakdown and Blue Oyster Cult's Hot Rails to Hell, which copies it

 

Half the song, the last 2 minutes, Israel Nash - Through The Door, or is that too long for a outro.

 

Elvis - Promised Land
Great cover version.

Love James Burton's soloing on the outro (2.25 to the end) but you have to turn it up loud to hear the ending.

 

Mark Knopfler has so many good ones. In addition to this one, I'd add

"Private Investigations"
"Why Worry"
"On Every Street"

 

Another good one by them is "Nothing Ever Happened."

 

Private Investigations is such a remarkable song in just about every way. I'm not sure there has ever been anything like it
