Genesis - Supper's Ready (Emotions at their extreme)

Supertramp - Logical Song ("one, two, three, FIVE"...love the wacko ending)

Sting - They Dance Alone (The most beatiful ending of a song)

uh, helooo? VDGG - Lemmings!

speaking of this topic, ive always thought that Yes was the most creative when it came to song endings, rather than groups like Genesis, who ended half their songs with a cymbal crash.

I know it is not very popular, but I picked Steve Hackett's Shadow Of The Hierophant - simple yet stunningl, it is from Voyage Of The Acolyte Album. 

yet you still have time!

Ending of The Musical Box is indeed one of my favorites.  But I agree with mentioning also Chamber of 32 doors as a favorite Genesis ending.

I like the end of Ciclos by Canarios where we hear the voice of God who is a bit disappointed (at least, that's my impression)

Octavarium has a great outro

also, Return to Forever - Majestic Dance has such a dark ending, especially when compared to how light most of the song can be

Oh, Chamber of 32 Doors. That gets honorable mention; what a beautiful
finish to the first lp of an album. That's a favorite Genesis track.

Otherwise:
•Suppers Ready
•The Knife
•Starship Trooper
•Finally Free
•Eclipse(whole song is an ending)

Outside Prog:
•Stairway to Heaven
•The End (Beatles)
•Hallowed be Thy Name

Musical Box has indeed a truly great ending and there are many other Genesis tunes that also could qualify. My own preference would be the outro of the Dire Straits tune "Planet of New Orleans"

i enjoy the ending to Pull Me Under.

 

But im not putting much thought inot this one...

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

Cassandra Geminni/Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt both have great climaxes at the end of them...

I can't really think of an all-time favorite ending though...I'd probably go with 21st Century Schizoid Man...it's very psychotic and it manages to give me a headache I enjoy.

I'm a reasonable man, get off my case

are you refering to the spoken 'attention planets of the solar federation, we have assumed control, we have assumed control...'

or are you talking about all of that terrible noise coming from Lifeson

Wow there's so many!

2112, Thick As A Brick, Supper's Ready, Octavarium, Heart of the Sunrise, Icarus

*and I completely agree with The Musical Box

Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can
