Best Ending of a Song?

What do you think is the best ending of a prog song?

For me it's:

Genesis - The Musical Box. It's so dramatic, beautiful, and an outstanding arrangement. Works so well because the ending part is so different than the rest of the song. It's even more dramatic to WATCH LIVE. Gabriel is insane but its just... Mind blowing...

I was going to type this brilliant explanation as to why Musical Box is the best ending, but I won't bother now. Honorary mentions to The Remembering, And You And I and Awaken (Yes).

You should type what you were going to way about The Musical Box's ending, you'll probably explain it better than me. I didn't really find the words, im not good with english.

FINALLY FREE!

Your English is fine, my friend. Now I'll have to think up this brilliant explanation.
OK, the bit I'm talking about starts when it all goes quiet at around 08:05 (I'm referring to the Genesis Live version which I prefer) and Gabriel starts the "she's a lady" bit. Quite spooky that bit, with some good backing vocals. Some lovely guitar work, then he mentions "flesh" and the goose bumps start. Then the keyboards come in, "I've been waiting here for so long", crack on the snare. "You stand there with your fixed expression", now it's really building up. "Why don't you touch me now, now, now, now, now" and that's the killer bit. Hackett's guitar goes up an octave and then into that brilliant solo, then the pseudo-classical ending and it's gone.

forgot these

The best ending is always a fade-out...

fade outs can be good... like the end of siberian khatru

they can also be horrendous

I love the end on In The Wake of Poseidon
