Best song endings

Recommended Posts

Just a random question. What would you say was the best ending to a song. I''d go for the guitar solo at the end of hotel California by the eagles brilliant just wondered wot everyone else thinks.

Keith Moon''s awesome, thunderous drum outro on the Who''s classic 1965 single My Generation takes some beating (pun intended). I will have to put my thinking cap on and see if I can think of something better.

Another Fab song ending is on The Who track The Song is Over. Once again Moon supplies a tasteful bit of drumming as he knocks the dust off his massive Premier drum kit. The keyboards, vocals and bass etc provide a wonderful sound too. I think the best ending of all time for me has to be on yet another Who song: Wont Get Fooled Again. The outro is rather redolent of emotional and dynamic endings to some classical symphonies. The best in rock.

A good ending that is also humorous is to You Ain''t Seen Nothin'' Yet which ends with Randy Bachman singing words to the effect of "it''s over, it''s over, the music''s over" as the song fades.

2 other great song endings are Twisting By the Pool by Dire Straits and Hersham Boys by Sham 69, at least the version where the song is over but the band keeps playing and Jimmy Pursey is making comments like, "get you drums togevver". With the Dire Straits song, it seems like its over but the drummer does an awesome re-intro. It ends again, and he does an even better re-intro which leads to the final ending. Kind of like English Beat with Rankin'' Full Stop. So that now make 3 other great song endings!

 London Calling Listen to it a 1000 times and you still probably wont notice until you''re told that the guitar outro spells out "SOS" in morse code, highly pertinent to the song, simple but very clever.Do like Motts "The Original Mixed Up Kid" ending.
