Brain Damage / Eclipse as the ending to Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd
I would have to say is an amazingly brilliant way to end the album.

How to post in this thread:
Give name of song(s), album, and artist.
Giving a reason is not necessary, but it is encouraged (I have chosen not to).
Suggestion:
Don't simply choose the song(s) because it/they are really good song(s); choose a song that fits organizationally well at the end of that album.

Hurt by Nine Inch Nails from The Downward Spiral

It's a haunting, heavily distorted track about a man that has lost everything.
The original version is extremely creepy, and the ending after the song is a nightmare, with distorted instruments becoming a veritable sea of anguished cries and pained instruments finally going silent, depicting the end of the character that The Downward Spiral was based on.

A close second would have to be the final track of Opeth's "Still Life", which is called "White Cluster"

A dreamlike piece that slowly descends to the grim reality of the coming execution of the main character. He starts off in a dreamlike state because of blood loss and collapsing from killing the soldiers that executed his lover for not being faithful to the Church and talking to an atheist outcast (him).

The Council of the Cross, a menacing institution that's very much like the Inquisition. They try to get him to repent, but he's insincere. He's led out, and sees that the people believe he's a lost soul by their white dress. The hangman ties the noose around his neck, and he thinks briefly about his life up until then.

Just as the trap door is about to be pulled, he feels a hand on his shoulder. It's his lover, Melinda, and she's ready for him to join her in death.

And before you ask, no, I'm not fucked in the head.

My computer's breaking down, so nope.

How could a person who clearly loves concept albums so much be fucked in the head?

I listened to The Downward Spiral. The premise was good, but musically, it was incrediblyyyyy boring. I'm not an industrial fan, I guess.

You know how people love to jump to conclusions here. Some might ignorantly think that these things darken my influence or something like that.
Or they'd probably think "LOL EMO"
But thinking a little more now, I think most of those little fuckwits must have gone to bed now.

I listened to The Downward Spiral. The premise was good, but musically, it was incrediblyyyyy boring. I'm not an industrial fan, I guess.

I personally prefer The Fragile as an album slightly more, but it wasn't really a concept album and and I really don't like the ending song that much. Ripe (With Decay) didn't really seem to go anywhere for me.

And some of the tracks in The Downward Spiral do plod on a bit, I'll admit.

Encore, Encore, Eminem.

Giving a reason is not necessary, but it is encouraged (I have chosen not to).

The ending is chilling but funny. As the crowd chants 'EMINEM', you can hear him walking off stage. He turns back and shouts "Oh shit! I almost forgot...I'm taking you all with me!". The audience screams and gunshots are fired as Eminem shoots at the audience members. The screams get less frequent as he shoots more and more people. After the loud scream by the girl at the end, Eminem chuckles and says "Bye bye!" before shooting himself, followed by a distorted voice featured in an earlier skit "sEe yoU iN HeLL. FuCKerS".

I have some :)

'Warborn' on the album 'Nocturnal' by The Black Dahlia Murder.

It's quite different from the rest of the album as it's a lot slower and more punchy, the last minute or so of the track plays what sounds like a battle between two sides, and fades out. It's simple, but pretty awesome.

and 'Tides of Change' on the album 'The Great Stone War' by Winds of Plague.

It follows on from the end of the title song, and while playing a piano has a narrator speaking about the end of a huge war, with a nice quote that I like "Soon the rains will come to wash away the blood..." his accents perfect for it. As it gets towards the end his voice distorts and fades out, it's good stuff.

Good ol' metal.

Just about every Tool album has great endings.

Space Travel Is Boring - Modest Mouse. From the album This Is A Long Drive for Someone With Nothing To Think About . One of my most favorite albums, the end leaves me with a shiver down my spine.

Gouge Away - Pixies. Doolittle album. I like how it ends the album off with a bang. Really good song.

Turn Into - Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Album Show Your Bones . A really happy song to end the album off. Gotta love happy endings.

Natural Anthem - The Postal Service. Album Give Up . Another big ending that sounds very different from the rest of the album.

Just a few that I like.

"With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept" from Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever by Explosions in the Sky. Yeah, long names, but the song is very good and dramatic. The whole album is basically instrumental and experimental rock. It's also done with a downbeat atmosphere. The final song keeps that atmosphere, but closes like someone has died and is going to Heaven. Beautiful.

I would say the Call of Ktulu from Metallica's Ride the Lightning album is a really epic way to finish it off. It winds it down really well, and you kind of get a sense for the majesty behind Ktulu/Cthulhu through the riffs, if you know what I mean.

I don't know Brain Damage/ Eclipse is the best when I think about it.

I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but my favorite ending is M.I.A. from the City of Evil alubm by Avenged Sevenfold. The reason is because that it is the best song on the album, it is the most emotional song on the album , best guitar solo, and best ending overall. That is my opinion so if you don't like it. Then fuck off.

Abbey Road, although the song "The End" Is technically the second to last song on Abbey Road but, it was originally meant to be the last song on the album.

"The End" was the last song that all of The Beatles recorded together, it also has Ringo Starr's one and only drum solo Ringo wasn't a fan of solos he always played with other musicians.

The last line in "The End" is, "And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make."
It is one of my favorite quotes and I try to live by it, which is why I put it into my signature.

Throughout the time The Beatles played together their message was always love. The last album ever recorded by The Beatles shows this perfectly. It's my all time favorite album.

It's never too early for Christmas.
