Worst ever Closing track on a decent album?

[toomanyhatz]

I also don't much care for the title track to my beloved Farewell Aldebaran. But mostly 'cause it sounds dated. It doesn't offend me as much as the Paul songs.

[copehead]

Ebony & Ivory on Tug of War.

We have a winner, folks.

And if not that, same artist - "Ou Est Le Soleil."

You puttin' 'em lower or higher than decent? I guess the Macca haters gonna hate, but those ARE two of his better ones.

[trans-chigley express]

"The Ocean"'s a timid end innit? Ruined by the jaunty last couple of minutes.

I Like The Ocean. Hats Off To (Roy) Harper is the worse Zep one I can think of.

Oh, the closing tracks to any of their first three are all weak.

True actually.

Not to forget "Crossroads Theme" on "Venus & Mars".

That man has form.

Bring it on Home?
Are you fucking mental?

[The Slider]

Her Majesty is the obvious one but my pick is

[The Slider]

And so is 'European Son'!

"After Hours", then.

It is my favourite song on the record.
Especially coming off the back of The Murder Mystery

You think 'Bring It On Home' is good?

[Charlie O.]

You think 'Bring It On Home' is good?

Of course it is! (Actually, I love all of the closing tracks on the first five.)

And the third Velvets album just wouldn't be right without "After Hours".

Surprised no-one here has mentioned "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others".

And I'll mention "Maggie M'Gill".

[zoomboogity]

Fear by John Cale is great from start to finish... as long as you don't play that last song. That one really stinks the joint up.

Twisted on Joni Mtchell's Court and Spark

[trans-chigley express]

True actually.

You think 'Bring It On Home' is good?

I actually like it but do think it's a relatively weak ending compared to the rest of the album

I was thinking "How Many More Times" myself!!

[Diamond Dog]

Twisted on Joni Mtchell's Court and Spark

That's a really good call.

[... 'Bring It On Home' is ... a relatively weak ending compared to the rest of the album

Have a word with yourself, Ray
It comes right after Moby fucking Dick

How Many More Times is the closing track on the debut, right?
Yes they are mental.

Surprised no-one here has mentioned "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others".

I love that one. I've long suspected its Carry On title and throw away lyrics always distract from a glorious Marr production, full of that shimmering, echoey thing they never did enough of.

Sometimes I Make You Sad by Supergrass kinda ruins In It For The Money. It's not as bad as Her Majesty though.

[clive gash]

"Twisted" is vital, its light-heartedness casts a sunny atmos over the heartache of what's already come, ensuring it never becomes draggy, it vivifies it.

somehow I'd forgotten Moby Dick. Probably cos I always skip past it.
