Top 10 Blind Guardian Closing Tracks

The Top Ten

1 And Then There Was Silence - A Night at the Opera (2002)

I like better the version with less vocal overdubbing (the song sample below is from the version I prefer - rerecord of 2012).

2 Wheel of Time - At the Edge of Time (2010)

This song is also #1 but I don't have two #1 spots.

3 Grand Parade - Beyond the Red Mirror (2015)

The entire song is impressive and especially the section from 6:20-7:40 - it is one of the most intense and impressive song sections I've ever heard (perfect build up, perfect execution).

4 The Last Candle - Tales from the Twilight World (1990)

5 The New Order - A Twist in the Myth (2006)

6 And the Story Ends - Imaginations from the Other Side (1995)

7 A Dark Passage - Nightfall in Middle-Earth (1998)

I especially like the vocals after 5:00.

8 Somewhere Far Beyond - Somewhere Far Beyond (1992)

9 By the Gates of Moria - Battalions of Fear (1988)

This is a relatively short instrumental (2:52). The title is inspired by The Lord of the Rings (Tolkien).

10 Barbara Ann - Follow the Blind (1989)

I like a lot this The Beach Boys cover.

The Contenders

11 Final Chapter (Thus Ends...) - Nightfall in Middle-Earth (1998)

Formally, this is the final track on the album but it's very short (only 0:48 min) and it's not a song - it contains spoken lines. So I decided not to count it but I added it to the list for people who think this is the closer because it's the final track.
