Top 10 Songs With the Best Ending

The Top Ten

1 Paranoid Android - Radiohead

2 Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

3 21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson

4 The Queen is Dead - The Smiths

5 I Want You (She's So Heavy) - The Beatles

6 A Day in the Life - The Beatles

Forty second-long chord that made history. I can only imagine what folks were thinking, sitting at their record players in 1967. It's amazing how big of an impact it has on me. Actually, the only thing that's amazing is the fact that it amazes me.

Heck yea! Nightmearish orchestra and then, a whole orchestra, 2 sec pause plays the same note for about 30 seconds. The you wait about 10 sec and you hear some people talking.

Never could be any other way!

7 A Saucerful of Secrets - Pink Floyd

Never has the ending of a song been as powerful as this one. The song progresses from chaos to order, from disaster to perfection, from ugliness to beauty. The organ sends shivers across your body, yet it also sets a happy mood. The vocals lifts your soul from your body. That is only the sudio version. The version from Pompeii has David Gilmore's vocals. There, he makes one of the most amazing sounds a human being has ever made. It is a true masterpiece, a work of beauty. Never again will a combination of noises ever come together like that.

8 November Rain - Guns N' Roses

Whoa! It was at #12. My vote made it #10.
But where it deserves to be is #1
Greatest guitar solo ever at the climax.
Slash is not like God... He IS God
Only wish Guns N' Roses remained the same

That ending is unparalleled. The piano and vocals are in perfect sync while Slash plays a guitar solo for the ages. It's truly a work of art.

9 Basketball Shoes - Black Country, New Road

10 My Love, My Life - ABBA

The Contenders

11 Hotel California - Eagles

This song is amazing

12 War Pigs - Black Sabbath

Wow, that riff tone change is amazing, setting another dark and somber air to the song. Master Iommi is one of a kind!

13 Ramble On - Led Zeppelin

14 One - Metallica

The song start off very slow and somber, and as it goes along it picks up pace until it eventually evolves into a madhouse of shredding guitars and thundering drums. After a four-minute-long face-melting solo the song charges full-force towards the end for a few seconds, and then slams to a stop with the brutality of a high-speed car accident - a perfect contrast to the gentle, calm vibes of the intro. Nothing short of amazing.

15 The Bluest Blues - Alvin Lee
