The audio for “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” got the video blocked, so the sound at that part has been extracted.

Love how Echoes is a 23 minute closer, a masterpiece anyway

[Netaroxis]

I’d probably pick “The End” by The Beatles as well. Not only is it the end of the album, it’s also the end of the 18-minute Abbey Road Medley, and most consider it the end of the Beatles, since it’s the last song in the last album they recorded; also it’s a banger and each member get their moment to shine.

What about "The Show Must Go On" (Queen) "Like Antennas to Heaven" (GY!BE), "Starless" (King Crimson), "Flamenco Sketches" (Miles Davis), "Desolation Row" (Bob Dylan), "Supper's Ready" (Genesis).

[LanceHall]

The Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows" is like 30 years into the future.

saying "something in the way" is a closing track instead of "endless nameless" is just a crime.

[GBPaddling]

Golden Slumbers/Carry that weight/The End Beatles Abbey Road is the absolute greatest for me.

2. Moonlight Mile, The Rolling Stones (2nd best song of all time)
3. When The Levee Breaks, Led Zeppelin
4. All Apologies, Nirvana
5. Mortal Man, Kendrick Lamar

[torinshaw]

Caroline, no. From the album pet sounds is a masterfully made ending. It’s nothing super grand, but it’s so heart breaking and just wraps everything up so nicely in a way that gives my goosebumps everytime.

[riotbunny]
