There's Jungleland and then there's everything else.

The only album closer I can think of to rival this is Pink Floyd's Brain Damage/Eclipse combination. Which is technically two songs. So yes.

Other really good album closers:

- Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms (Brothers In Arms)

- Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (part VI-IX) (Wish You Were Here)

- AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie (Let There Be Rock)

- Oasis - Champagne Supernova (What's The Story Morning Glory)

- GnR - Coma (UYI 1)

- GnR - Rocket Queen (AFD)

- Nirvana - All Apologies (In Utero)

- Pink Floyd - Echoes (Meddle)

- Rolling Stones - Salt Of The Earth (Beggar's Banquet)

- Queen - The Show Must Go On (Innuendo)

End of Abbey Road

Also one of the most epic endings to an album ever, but technically that's 4 songs. Second time I saw Paul live he ended with that sequence too.. :wub:

Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night

If live albums count, definitely awesome.

No, in laymen terms its 4 songs, TECHNICALLY, it's a medley. *realises a medley is what you call a collection of songs*
Up yours, you pedantic Dutch bastard! :lol:

There's Jungleland and then there's everything else.

Quoted for truth.

I saw Bruce and the E Street Band do Born To Run at the Philly Spectrum in 2009. Normally I feel like knowing what's coming next makes it less fun, but not this time. Meeting Across The River ends, the stadium is silent, and the goosebumps start before Roy even starts playing the intro on the piano. Absolute perfection. Album closers just don't get better. Period.

Bruce does a damn fine job closing his records. Jungleland, Darkness, My Hometown, The River's one-two of the title track ending disc 1 and Wreck on the Highway ending disc 2, My City of Ruins, American Land...dude can close out a fuckin' album. But Jungleland wins, hands down.

Black Diamond on KISS's s/t album deserves a lot of love, as well as Strange Ways on Hotter Than Hell; also giving a shoutout to Would? on Alice on Chains' Dirt, and The Wanderer on U2's Zooropa

I'll spare a list of Buckethead albums :P
