Best "Outro" of a Song?

equalsql

Steely Dan-Kid Charlemagne

Larry Carlton's outro solo pure magic.. starts at 3.55

streethawk

Starts at 1.19 ends at 2.55. Is that technically an outro? 

viz

The end of six degrees of inner turbulence - over a minute of a single chord decaying GENIUSES!

Now we're talking!

Great Choice

Oooh tough one, but given that it's scientifically proven to have the best intro in the world already I'm gonna go with the alternating time sig bit at the end of davidian.

I rip off that idea pretty much constantly

Go on then ;-)

Then I can have this one.

from 3:00 ish

Good calls on Kid Charlemagne and the Journey one (there are others of theirs too BC, and Giant )

And while we're on Steely Dan, "Haitian Divorce" at 4.43 - same chord change as on the Eagle's outro for "I can't tell you why" and Fleetwood Mac's "Mystified"


Jellyfish's "New Mistake" - the build up from 2.54 and how each bit is added at every turn. In fact, have a listen to the whole song for a perfectly crafted pop toon! Great guitars too

Probably not alternative enough for you guys, and certainly not the best,  but what about RHCP Under The Bridge very simple but nice (from 4.03)

Very nice that!  Never heard of this band before but will definitely be checking more of their stuff out. Have a wisdom on me for the heads up

Nice but not a patch on SPS Dave.

I Am The Resurrection and Kid Charlemagne get my vote too.

And minus 1 for Layla, hate the outro.

Will add that Gary Moore's outro solo on Still Got the Blues is pure class, and reminds me of my youth.

And probably controversial but ive always love the last minute of this Coldplay song, a nice euphoric and very different end to a bland song. Listen from about 4:10.

Glad you liked it equalsql and there was a thread about them recently. They had 2 main albums and were around in the 90s. They borrowed from The Beatles, Wings, 10cc, The Beach Boys and Queen and to this day, are probably the best live band I've ever seen with fantastic vocal harmonies too. Sadly, they were dropped by their label. Also worth checking out are the solo albums by their 2nd guitarist, Jason Falkner.

@daveww

RHCP definitely a good choice there, great backing vocals and like how it mellows out at the finish.

@Kebabkid

That's a good track by Jellyfish, there a new one on me.

Possibly. I've heard of Teenage Fanclub but never knowingly listened to any of their tracks. Which means they're after my time, hence you're showing that you're younger than me. Perhaps that's showing my age too.

You're in for a treat then.

Ah… but you've probably *heard* a few Teenage Fanclub tracks - you just don't remember any of them.

They're an odd band - they have a lot of familiar-sounding almost-classic songs but yet have somehow managed to avoid writing anything with that one killer hook that makes a song really memorable. I really don't know why - I've got a couple of their albums and been to see them live twice as well, and they're a nice band to listen to and watch… but there's just something missing.

Bellycaster

I remember this one quite well. Good tune.

Could have come straight out of the 60's.

@Kebabkid - cannot give you enough wisdoms for Jellyfish, this one is great too - from 2:45:

Also, 5:55:

Someone said it already but we need evidence - starts at 3:35. My favourite bit is when you can actually hear him change from the neck to bridge pickup at 4:13 - really gets going from then. One of the first solos that really made me sit up and listen, I think.

Also, literally the entire last half of this - start at 3:50 ish and listen till the end, it's magic. Those clean tones as well... wow.

And the best of all, the epic solo from 5:15:

I like that last one. It's excellent.
