My favorit ending has to be Suppers Ready, it really is the most uplifting end to a song I've ever heard.

Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Most excellent choices both  The ending to Chamber of 32 Doors is perfect in the sense that it really does complete the song -it's as if the best and most effective bit had been left to the end, in all its' understated evocativeness (hmm, spelling?)... Love it.

Alright, now I need to go and have a listen to The Musical Box again to see what all this fuzz is about -I must have missed something great until now  

But to add another one before I do: Tempus Fugit by YES, yes, yes, yes...!

the ending of chamberof 32 doors might be the best ending of the first half of an epic of all times.A great way to leave the audience and have had the interval if the movie had been made. Then to come thundering back with Lilywhite Lilith. Genesis in their heyday certainly thought a lot about what they were doing atmospherically , emotionally , sequentially , lyrically. Pity they discovered that they would sell better with tracks like No Reply At All.

There are so many epic endings, it's difficult to choose favorites, but....

Suppers Ready (of course): pure emotion, gets me every time!

Starship trooper (the Yessongs version): Howe & Wakeman just building & building to that final arpeggio...

Tarkus (again, the live version): Spectacular: ELP at their finest.

Seven Stones (Genesis): The Mellotron coda is beautifully understated, but for me makes this song one of the standout tracks from Genesis's early career - love it!

So many more.... God, I love progressive rock

I say And You and I, Close to the Edge and Suppers Ready have the best endings. (and Gates of Delerium and The Musical Box)

I cannot even tell you how much I love that song. I don't know why, but I just love it even though it's considered a weak track in Nursery Cryme!

Definitely is one of my Genesis favorites, not only "Short silly Genesis favorite", generally, a big favorite.

such a stupid song though :P

yes, "starship trooper"

even though the solo is kind of weak, those three chords just make me smile

 

ELP 'from the beginning'

it's just so simple, but that keyboard solo is perfect

 

Led Zeppelin 'the rain song'

beautiful classical acoustic outro

 

black sabbath 'ferries wear boots/jack the stripper'

its cool riff admit it

 

i could name a hundred
