National Shite Day on HMHB's CSI Ambleside

You know you're doing it right when the closing track to your first ever album, becomes the inevitable closing track to practically every gig you'll ever play

Alternatively, let's have a horrible noise, the most Million Dead of all Million Dead songs, a 14 minute hardcore anthem about the roman empire

Only posting these because someone else posted Hurt, obviously.

"Lullaby" by Loudon Wainwright 3rd from the album "Attempted Moustache"

I miss 'secret tracks' at the end of albums, where there'd be a long period of silence after the last track, and then something a bit random and weird would come on.

Can't really do that these days.

This sprang to mind...

Can't really do that these days.

This may also be prime contender for "most sampled closing track on an album"

EDIT: Purple Rain - bloody good choice that.

Oh, also

The Movie, Permenant Vacation

I'm a big fan of EL-P's double whammy closing tracks, on all three Run the Jewels records and his own C4C album.

Or

Roni Size - 'Play the Game' - which ends 'in The Mode'

Curtain Call - The Damned - The Black Album

riders on the storm L.A, Women the Doors

Pearl Jam - Midnight Cowboy.

Desolation Row Highway 61 Revisited Bob Dylan

EMI never mind the bollocks the sex pistols

Pearl Jam - Midnight Cowboy.

Which album's that on?

i am the resurrection the stone roses the stone roses

Captain Beefheart Unconditionally Guaranteed - Peaches

Faith No More Midnight Cowboy

If so it's on Angel Dust.

Incidentally a great album with a stonking opening track. I'm off to the other thread...

Obvs.

HMHB's closer on the album after that one is a belter - Rock n roll is full of bad wools.

Carter - falling on a bruise

Down in a tube station at midnight - All Mod Cons - the Jam

God Save The Queen

Voodoo Child (Slight Return) - Electric Ladyland - Jimi Hendrix Experience

Black Sabbath - Sabotage. Blow on a Jug.

Something In the Way - Nevermind - Nirvana

^ the problem with Something In The Way (great song) is the inclusion of the hidden "bonus" track after it. It was ok but SITW was better.

I think we should bend the rules but my inner pedant is fighting me!

it's last track on the listing even if it is 20 mins long 😉

it's last track on the listing even if it is 20 mins long

My inner pedant willingly gives up the fight. I think it secretly wanted an excuse.

A Day In The Life - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - the Beatles

'Empty cans' by the Streets st the end of 'a grand don't come for free' is a work of pure narrative genius imho.
