    In light of last week's Best Opening Tracks thread, I'm going to take the flip side and start a best closing tracks thread.

    What are your picks for best album (CD) closing tracks?

    Some of my top picks:

    Jungleland - Bruce (Born to Run)
    Desolation Row - Bob Dylan (Highway 61 Revisited)
    Better Things - The Kinks (Give the People What They Want)
    New York City Serenade - Bruce (Wild, Innocent & E Street Shuffle)
    Reason to Believe - Bruce (Nebraska)
    Darkness on the Edge of Town - Bruce (Darkness on the Edge of Town)
    A Day in the Life - The Beatles (Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band)
    Twist & Shout - The Beatles (Please, Please Me)
