2 threads about this have been made in the past couple of years but those were from around 2006 so i guess it is time to make one again.

What are your favorite endings in all of Prog? 

I love them and these are my favorites:

Genesis - Supper's Ready (duh) Although i don't like the fade out and it ends way too soon!!
King Crimson - Starless
Genesis - Musical Box
Riverside - Second Life Syndrome (really underrated)
Bacamarte - Ultimo Entardecer (one of the best songs i literally discovered a couple of weeks ago)
Genesis - Entangled (the choir and the synths <3)
Camel - Lady Fantasy and Never let Go
Pink Floyd - Saucerful of Secrets
Focus - Eruption
King Crimson - Epitaph

I'd like to know what your favorites are as i want to delve into it.

PROG:
Flower Kings - Final Deal (one of the finest examples of how to end an epic)
Chris Squire - Silently Falling (an incredible coda section with everything but the kitchen sink in it, including crazy vocal adlibs by Chris)
Roine Stolt - Flower of Love (Humanizzimo) (a dark, beautiful, tear jerking ending)

NON PROG:
Elton John - Curtains (great album closer)

That one is probably number one for me. Starship Trooper and Silently Falling are also great answers.

The Return of the Giant Hogweed is fantastic as well.

Still the same as in a similar thread from last July. The part from 8:18 to 10:24 to be more precisely.

The first to come to my mind is Cardiacs’ “The Everso Closely Guarded Line” off of the album On Land and in the Sea. Wondrous to these ears.
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

The ending of the song "Close to the Edge," especially in concert. 

First time I saw this song performed was 22 Sept, 1972....I hadn't even heard the album yet and came expecting to hear "America!"  

At the end of that magnificent song, the band and audience are quite drained, and the appearance of the famous sparkle ball signifies a grand closure.
