I like the ending of the song Pigs (Three Different Ones) . That song
gives me shivers with its ultimate bass and other good aspects.

The Ending of King Crimson's Starless is probably the most powerful coda I've ever heard. The ending to Unevensong makes me reassess my life everytime I hear it (enough said). The coda to Pink Floyd's Dogs (the list) is a cool sequence. The End of Yes' The Fish is nice too.

Too many to think of, but I would submit for consideration the final section/movement of "Storm" by Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

Awaken from Yes. Rick Wakeman and Steve Howe are absolutely stunning in that crescendo

Oh... there are so many songs with wonderful endings...
Let's take classical art rock. I think the most beautiful endings are:
Genesis "Supper's Ready"
Yes "Gates Of Delirium"
Pink Floyd "Comfortably Numb"
If we speak about modern progressive rock, then:
Transatlantic "Stranger In Your Soul"
Neal Morse "Wasted Life"
Prog-Metal:
Dream Theater "Finally Free" (amazing drum solo performed by Mike)
Dream Theater "Pull Me Under"
Dream Theater "Octavarium"
Dream Theater "These Walls"
Also check Out Satellite's "On The Run" - absolutely wonderful guitar solo ending!
But, indeed, I forgot to mention something!  Because, I cannot remember everything! And that's a pity!

"Ritual" - Yes - the last two minutes are awesome, I love how it kind of leaves you hanging in the end.
"Song For America" - Kansas

i really like the ending of the last track on three friends . i know some people think fade outs are copouts but i think they are often a nice way to end a peice without thrashing instruments. and ofcourse starless. countless other great endings i forget

Genesis - Duke's End
Amazing tension buildup and release at a frantic pace.
