Best last track on an album
I saw this on Reddit thought we could do a good job on this:
What is the best closing track on an album, hidden tracks count.

Immediately I thought of A Day in the Life off Sgt Peppers, then thinking Stones, Moonlight Mile off Sticky Fingers, how about Hallowed Be Thy Name off Number of the Beast?
great tracks

Not a bad choice. There's a fair amount of people who would argue that's the best Maiden song, period. It has that going for it. That is tough to beat.
Unless, of course, you dislike Iron Maiden, in which case most last tracks off most albums would be better.
AIC's Would? is an okay last track, as well. NIN's Hurt doesn't really count, because the best version of that is performed by someone else. I never really liked the original much.
Hrm... Not too many albums stick something really great at the end. There's more than a few decent closing tracks out there, but really great ones are few and far between. Most half-decent records start with something cool. Ending with something more than just okay? Not so common.
Also, for the porpoises of this thread, I'm excluding jazz and classical records.
