NIN's The Downward Spiral isn't for everybody, but if you like the album then "Hurt" is pretty much a perfect closer for it.

Yes, NIN's "Broken" EP had the two hidden tracks at 98 and 99.

Aside from those mentioned by others ("A Day in the Life") is amazing!
I'm Lonely (But I Ain't That Lonely Yet) - White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan It's True That We Love One Another - White Stripes - Elephant Black Like Me - Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga Champagne Supernova - Oasis - What's the Story (Morning Glory)? Married with Children - Oasis - Definitely Maybe Behind Blue Eyes - The Who - Who's Next Behind Blue Eyes is probably the #1 best closing track for me.

"Rocket Queen" is a great under-rated song. The problem is that Appetite for Destruction has one of the great album closers of all-time in Paradise City, and they didn't close the album with it.
On the flip side, "My World" from Use Your Illusion might be in the discussion for worst album closer of all time.

I don't know about the CD song order, but the record album's last track is "Won't get Fooled Again", which is a great song but like Hotel California has been played a few too many times on local radio for me to get into anymore. |

Wow, that's weird. "Won't Get Fooled Again" is #9 on my CD. Then again, they liked to do strange stuff with albums when putting them on CD... and between US and UK releases. Though I guess the "Behind Blue Eyes" on the CD version is one with Alt lyrics, so if that counts or not... I dunno.

which would be another great category - songs that would be a great album closer, but aren't. Paradise City and Ride On have been mentioned. Jane's Addictions' Three Days would fit as well.

Boxing from Ben Folds Five. That one always made me want to start the CD over again, which seems like the best measure of a final song.

I have to go with the medley of songs on Abbey Road that all blend together. Not only was it an album closing track but a group closing track that everybody knew was the group closing track.

another one I thought of while out on my walk:
Van Halen - House of Pain. Obviously, I'm an unabashed Van Halen fanboy, but I've always felt this was an underrated track on a terrific album. It was the last song on the last Roth-era album, although the song actually dates back to their early days (pre-VH1 demos of the song use the VW horn hooked to a volume pedal that they'd end up using on Running with the Devil).

Paridise City is the closer on the live double-album (like it is for every concert), so I'm making the executive decision that we can include it.

Let It Be was an aborted album ("Get Back") that the band walked away from. They then recorded and released Abbey Road. Let It Be was then released by the time the band was already broke up. I think McCartney had dropped his solo album, or at lease a single, before Let It Be came out. So Let it Be is last released, Abbey Road last recorded. I guess there is some debate as to what their last album is... but i think in spirit almost anyone would have to say Abbey Road is their last album.

Raconteurs, Consolers of the Lonely: "Carolina Drama"
Love the last song on most White Stripes albums, but they are usually (if not always) cutsey, throw-away tunes. "Carolina Drama" is the best song on Consolers, IMO, and maybe the best song of the last twelve months. |

I don't think Carolina Drama is nearly the best song on that album. And it's because I think that is hands down the best album released this year. All killer no filler on that album, though I found myself preferring all the Benson tracks to the White ones.

Meh... I think it's well behind "Old Enough", "Salute Your Solution", and "Consolers of the Lonely" (in that order). Maybe it's after that, but it has to compete with "Many Shades of Black", "Switch & the Spur", and "Rich Kid Blues".

Best closing track? Gotta be the 10 minute version of Fools Gold on The Stone Roses eponymous debut album.
That album also features the best album-opening track with I Wanna Be Adored. |

I disagree. While Genesis & Phil Collins have had some good songs on side two ("Taking It All Too Hard", "Anything She Does", "Man on the Corner", "Don't Lose That Number", etc.), their actual closers are below their standard, IMO. "Follow You Follow Me" is the one that I think is the best. Then again, my experience with Genesis begins & ends with PC as the lead, so maybe that's the difference. |

I'm thinking the culprit is Kerosine Hat by Cracker which had a few songs hidden and I think a 99 track listing ("Eurotrash Girl" being the popular hidden track). "Find the River" by REM is a favorite; "Purple Rain" gets props too. I'm partial to "Famous Final Scene" by Bob Segar off of "Stranger in Town"
