The 10 Most Epic Album Closers chosen by Phil Aston (Now Spinning Magazine) and Pete Pardo (from ​⁠‪@seaoftranquilityprog‬ )
In the age of streaming where the most plays are always at the start of an album and nearly always the last track gets the least streams the art of album sequencing seems to have been lost.
In this podcast we look back at a time when many bands saved the best until last. Both myself and Pete pick 10 personal album closer that further cemented our love for each respective band.

1. Krim “Starless” . . Talk about a band with numerous epic closers! 😅 2. Doors - The End (again, Pete’s right) 3. Iced Earth - “Dante’s Inferno” 4. The Who - “Love Reign O’er Me” 5. Queensryche - “Road to Madness” 6. Genesis - “Supper’s Ready” 7. Thin Lizzy - “Roisín Dubh/Black Rose” 8. Yes - “Ritual” 9. Maiden - bugger, this is difficult! . . “Rime Of the Ancient Mariner” 10. Pink Floyd - “Echoes”

I think the reason Alex Lifeson doesn't come up more in the discussion of the all-time great guitarists is because everything he does is in service to the song. It's about the composition not about a solo. I actually think that contributes to his greatness
@Gk2003m

It’s because he’s not a great onstage improviser. Yes Alex is a great player and great prog composer. But what you heard at last week’s,concert is exactly what you heard at last month’s concert which is exactly what you heard at last year’s concert. Absent the demonstrated ability to blow you away with improvisation, he will never be held in as high regard as, say, Steve Howe or Ritchie Blackmore or Jan Akkerman.

David Bowie was a true king of album closers: Rock and Roll Suicide The Supermen Mrmory of a Free Festival The Bewlay Brothers Lady Grinning Soul Big Brother/ Chant of The Ever Circling Skeletal Family Fame Etc, etc. As was AC/DC, Black Sabbath, KISS, The Who and many others. After all, any dramatically good record should end the right way.

Eloy are the *absolute masters* of "the epic album closer": "Mighty Echoes" from "Silent Cries & Mighty Echoes" (1979) "Carried By Cosmic Winds" from "Planets" (1981) "A Broken Frame" from "Performance" (1983) "Jeanne D' Arc" from "Destination" (1992) "Company Of Angels" from "The Tides Return Forever" (1994) "The Answer" from "Ocean II - The Answer" (1998) - this one is "the most epic of the Eloy album closers", 11 minutes of sheer majesty. "Mystery - The Secret, Part 2" from "Visionary" (2009)

That was great to watch - cheers Phil. Just last night, I listened to MSG's Lost Horizons around 5 times. It's so meaningful and emotional. Even though there was no actual band at the time, the album had an identity. That song leaves such a great impression. The bandleader Michael Schenker had arrived. Was hoping you'd include Light in the Black, but in fact I also think Rainbow Eyes is a great album closer, in a completely different way.😂 For Zeppelin, Bring It On Home is my fave end piece. Your UFO choice was perfect. I reckon Born to Lose, Anyday and Profession of Violence also hit the spot. Cheers.🙂

Great chat and very informative Phil. Pete touched on a subject I think would make a good topic for a future discussion. In the age of the 78 minute cd, how many albums considered 'good' would be considered classics if they had a few less tracks on them. Too many artists feel the need to fill the disc with filler tracks when a few less would lead to a far higher quality album.

As always an absolute joy to see the 2 of you doing a show together, you're a really great double act. There are 2 or 3 songs that you didn't mention, an obvious one being Supper's Ready, Pete mentioned Genesis but not that track. The one I was most surprised you didn't include was Day in the Life from Sergeant Peppers, if I had to choose a favourite closer that might be it. Finally a bit of a cheat, I want to include Bohemian Rhapsody, I know strictly speaking it isn't the closer on night at the Opera, but I always forget about the National Anthem 7 it doesn't really count for me. Certainly I was surprised you didn't include any Queen. Cheers guys I look forward to the next show

My favourite epic album closer? 'A Louse Is Not A Home' by Peter Hammill from his 1974 album 'The Silent Corner and The Empty Stage'. By guitar based hard rock standards Hammill and Van Der Graaf Generator probably get filed under 'left field theatrical also rans', for being keyboard and sax led where they are well received at all. But the intensity of the lyric and ear worm nature of the music on 'A Louse Is Not A Home', a song about divided identity, is so much more than merely 'memorable'.

"The Call Of Ktulu". An absolute epic finale to a groundbreaking album. The gargantuan journey Ride The Lightning takes you on via the previous songs is already exhilerating, but Ktulu's call is a cinematic, climatic cresendo. It is a stunning, awe inspiring piece of brilliance that sounds like it is a bands absolute final statement. Yet, they were only really getting started. Hot Take: I think the S&M version is even better. The orchestration introduces a whole new experience and dimension to it.

I am sure that the intro to 'Hole In The River' by Crowded House was inspired by the dominant feel on 'Riders On The Storm' and the Jeff Buckley song 'Dream Brother' has a similar feel to The Doors' track 'The End' running through much of the song. Don't believe me?

For me, it has to be Last Exit For The Lost by Fields Of The Nephilim from The Nephilim record. This is not only the best album closer but also the best gig closer. It never fails to inspire and always take me to another place. I never tire of hearing this song. At almost 10 minutes long it just builds and builds reaching an outstanding crescendo, always leaving me wishing this track would never end. Its simply a stunning piece of music, on a wonderful record by an often overlooked, fantastic band.

Here are a couple which came to my mind: Judas Priest - One Shot at Glory Majestic, full throttle impact, one of Rob's best vocal performances Roy Orbison - Careless Heart /You may feel me crying This is a tricky one because the other one is basically a bonus song but it still serves not only as an album closer but as a career closer because he sadly died shorty before the album was released. What a voice. Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland What a great composition! One of the best sax solos. As much as I love the direction he went I'll always cherish Wild Innocent E Street and Born to run for their lavish and complex arrangements. The Cure - Faith Although everything goes bananas for the successor, I always preffered this album to it and especially the title track which finishes it. Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms Although I prefer their work up to this point, there is no denying that there are some gems on this album and the title track especially is a timeless classic. Depeche Mode - Higher Love Although DM has many strong suits album closers are not one of them in my humble opinion. Blasphemous rumours might get close but it feels more like a hitsong at the end, whereas Higher Love from Songs of Faith and Devotion (my favourite DM album) has a hymnic, final quality to it. Elton John - Madman across the water (Original version) One of my favourite songs by him, probably shared by quite a few. 9 minutes, epic and poignant, ripping solo by Mick Ronson.

Always loved " A light in the black" with the speed and power and especially when it came out in 1976 i always thought it was proto thrash metal just year's earlier. I remember in Geoff Barton's review at the time in sounds music paper he called this thermo nuclear rock n roll. A very apt description i think.

Great topic from a, potentially, lost art ... Love to Love jumped to mind straight off so it was easy to see it would appear of Pete and Phil's lists ... so many to choose from ... here's a few to consider ... Throw Down the Sword ... Argus, Wishbone Ash The Last Resort ... Hotel California, Eagles Get Where I Belong .... Free Live, Free (awesome gentle studio relief at the end of a great live album) Moonwater .... Baby James Harvest, BJH The Poet - After the Day ... And Other Short Stories, BJH For No One ... Everyone Is Everybody Else, BJH Los Endos ... Trick of the Tail, Genesis Afterglow ... Wind & Wuthering, Genesis Astronomy ... Secret Treaties, BOC Gold Dust Woman ... Rumours, Fleetwood Mac You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman ... Tapestry, Carole King Jungleland ... Born to Run, Springsteen etc etc CMcG, Aberdeen, Scotland

Love To Love is the first song I thought of for this excersise. I knew it would be on Pete's list but, I didn't see it coming from you Phil, nice choice! Shine On You Crazy Diamond VI - IX is another epic album closer that you have to hear before you die. Anyone who hasn't been through Wish You Were Here from beginning to end has to find time for that before it's too late. Absolute perfection from David Gilmour and company. My #1 is an epic Tour De Force from the late great Randy Rhoads, Diary of a Madman. Yeah Bob Daisley, Lee Kerslake, and Ozzy Osbourne helped make that song great as well but, Randy outdid himself the performance of a lifetime to end that masterpiece.

I'm half way through and it's mad how many of both yours i've mentally picked. Both Who, A Light In The Black, Awaken was mentioned, La Villa Strangiato. and Levee, i'll throw some different directions to get out of sync. 1. On The Silent Wings Of Freedom-Yes. 2. The Glorious Om Riff---Steve Hillage. 3. Magnum Opus---Kansas. 4. Davids Last Summer---Pulp. 5. Yes Anastasia--Tori Amos. 6. The Kick Inside--Kate Bush. 7. Crime Of The Century---Supertramp. 8. Further On----Jethro Tull 9. In A Simple Rhyme--Van Halen. 10. Don't Turn Your Back---Blue Oyster Cult. honourable mention would be Bohemian Rhapsody if it had never been released as a single, never should have been for me.
