haha yeah that’s right. Remember back in the old days, where you would just have a cd and you wouldn’t know how many tracks are on it, and then suddenly about 5 minutes after the last song, you get the bonus track! It was like the band was throwing a private encore just for you haha Nowadays with digital music I guess you can’t really pull off a bonus track as effectively.

Thanks for the comments on the site mate.

Nice list man — especially since radiohead is #1!

Anyone too lazy to not listen to the whole album is the one missing out. Last track should be a great track — something that summarises the whole album and makes you want to listen to it all again later. Although, that probably doesn’t help your decision at all!

btw. Love the new site!

Yeah, but just imagine this! Imagine making a mix cd of your favourite closing tracks ever. Just think, one of the closing tracks would have to be an opening track, and also imagine the dilemma in trying to work out which song should be the closing track on the Best Closing Tracks Mix. Sounds really damn hard.

Yeah thats right sam! Alot of bands have done that. Massive Attack do it in their album “mezzanine” except it ties back to their fourth song on the album – Exchange. Daft Punk also do it on homework – their last song ties in with some elements of Da Funk, which funnily enough – is also the fourth song on the album. Weird.

I like this list. The last song needs to complete the album.. I thinking using samples that are found in the first song can be used in the last song as a way of tying an album together.
