[Closed] Songs that absolutely must be played to the very end

Have we done Hotel California..never listenEd to the whole thing until i started playing guitar- now it’s one of my favourite guitar solos

Just posting this for a friend

November Rain

Isn't the outro the only part worth listening to?

Paradise by the dashboard light for anyone over 55 who can remember it

It was long ago and it was far away...but yes I can remember it.

Pachanga Boys - Time.

The extended version is actually 24 minutes , Class though.

Can't you hear me knocking
Crossroads
Hotel California makes me dive for the off button

I remember a cd, but hazy on the details (it was my college days), possibly The Orb, Little Fluffy Clouds that had a hidden extra bit, but you had to let it carry on playing silence for about 15 minutes after the end of the actual track.

Marquee moon, Television

Resurrection, stone roses

Freebird, skynard

Sunshine underground, the chemicals.

Love the Orb, especially Valley from Live 93 album. Incredibly different and remains so today.

Also a vote for ‘Rubies’ by Destroyer.

‘All good things must come to an end - but bad ones just go on forever’

Over 7 minutes long and sounds perfectly and increasingly drunken as it winds down. Not only to the last fragile ‘da da daaaa’, but even to the very end where he (audibly) puts the guitar down and the open mic finally goes silent.

*Edit +1 Marquee Moon, but then also ‘1880 Or So’ for the same reasons.

Another GnR - Breakdown. Kinda offsets Locomotive which starts brilliantly and ends on a pretty damp squib. Get in The Ring might be a ranty diatribe but you can't really stop it halfway either.

And 4’33” by John Cage.

Like what you did there!
A couple of songs by Shawn Colvin in particular I have to listen to right to the end - Wichita Skyline, which has ambient sounds including a dog barking in the distance, followed by a diesel loco horn sounding, with crickets and other faint sounds.
The other on is Sunny Came Home, a song based on a painting, with the protagonist contemplating setting fire to those who hurt her, at the end there’s a pause, then a match being struck, before being blown out.

Luther Alison, Been a long time. Epic slow burning blues with a mental guitar wig out at the end. Stick it on now, full vol. Thank me later.

Doves, There Goes the Fear.

You think they’ve finished and then the last 30 seconds sounds like it was recorded on the forest moon of Endor

Editors “For the Money”. Builds to a cacophonous sinister onslaught that if you miss the end is just wrong!

Another Luther Allison track The Thrill Is Gone

Was played on R2 a few weeks ago, awesome🎸

Napalm Death- You Suffer.

I tried to stop it two thirds of the way through but I'm never quick enough.

Mary Jane by Megadeth. Love the way it builds.

Muse - Citizen Erased

Some fabulous shouts above, especially the Cure, I’d just add Candi Staton and the Source You Got the Love.

Can't argue with I Am The Resurrection or There Goes The Fear, but also...

Ride. Vapour Trail. Just beautiful (EDIT. Didn't spot that this was an old thread I'd already responded too, at least I'm consistent).
The Joy Formidable. Whirring. Makes my brain melt.
The Sisters Of Mercy. Temple Of Love (1992). Ofra Haza!

What do I get?  - Buzzcocks

The Charlatans - Then

Tom Waits - Martha, amazing to have written this as a man in his early 20's.

And 4’33” by John Cage.

Like what you did there!

Glad somebody got it.
