^ Definitely a good one.

But does Jethro Tull's Grace kind of count as an outro for Baker Street Muse? If so, that's a good one.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes! What a monumental closing to the song.

"Can Utility & The Coastliners" also has a great ending.

Is this about albums or just tracks?

Yeah, I'm confused too. I thought it was about TRACKS that are OUTROS on the CONCEPT ALBUMS...

"Willie the Pimp" - Frank Zappa

"Starless" - King Crimson

"The Musical Box" - Genesis

"Thick as a Brick, part II" - Jethro Tull

"Staz: Gewitter" - Klaus Schulze

Those are the first that come to mind.

Dudley Moore's And The Same To You (ex. The Complete Beyond The Fringe)

Also think outro of the Steady, As She Goes by the Raconteurs works well as the end music for Saturday Live on BBC Radio 4

The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

How about 'Three Friends' from GENTLE GIANT's "Three Friends"? The eerie chorale and the melancholic recurring theme are a real universal homage to the power of repetition and the impact of fade-out.

agreed Octavarium is a good one, really epic

some of my favourites in no particular order

Aquatarkus - ELP

As Sure as Eggs Is Eggs - Genesis

The Cinema Show (studio version, love the lead into Aisle of Plenty) - Genesis

Shine On You Crazy Diamond Part 9 - Pink Floyd

Learning To Live - Dream Theater

Every Day - Steve Hackett

River Of Life/Per Un Amico - PFM

Symphony No. 2 - Egg

it's hard to pick one but if i had too As Sure as Eggs is Eggs would probably win everything about it just sends shivers down the spine.

"The Gates of Delirium". I've always been happy that my CD of Relayer contains the single version of "Soon" as a bonus track at the end of the album. It's the prettiest thing Yes ever did, in my opinion.
