The outro on the full length version of Chance by Big Country.

Any of those Deep Purple tracks with a long fadeout where Ritchie Blackmore is going apeshit. You keep turning the wick up as they fade it so you don't miss any of Ritchie's magic. Applies especially to April, and Demon's Eye

And perversely I'd also nominate 'Perfect Strangers' which is another one that mysteriously tails off over the horizon, introducing that curious keyboard refrain.


Talking of PG's Fleetwood Mac, how about Oh Well Pt 2, which (if memory serves) ends quite peacefully on a major chord, resolving all that tension built up during the track.

Oh, and Love Is The Law - great outro there.

Really dislike Clapton but that Layla outro gets another vote here.

Love the piano at the end in contrast to the main song.

Word

Last 108 seconds of this fantastic work by Dream Theater. The whole song is part 7 of a set of pieces of different stages of troubled minds.

Rain by the Beatles. Backwards guitar, backwards vocal, backwards drum fills by Ringo.

Tomorrow Never Knows- Lennon as 'preacher' sings off up to heaven and the whole thing is dragged back down to earth with a Goon Show inspired piano solo. Perfect.

What about Itchycoo Park by the Small Faces? Marriot singing his arse off.

+1 for Rainbow's 'Stargazer' and Led Zeppelin's 'Tangerine'. 

I'd also add 'Symptom Of The Universe' by Black Sabbath and 'The Red Telephone' by Love.

I like songs with proper endings, rather than fade-outs, or songs that ramble on and/or fall apart because no one knows where to go next.  IMHO a good ending can be short and sweet, like Teenage Kicks, which cycles quickly back to D. Then there are songs which leave suspended chords hanging in the air, for example Nik Kerskaw's Wouldn't It Be Good on Bsus2.  

I'm also partial to a bit of feedback, the kind where you turn towards the speaker cabinet to get the different harmonics. Great for ending the first set.

Good shout - Oh Well pt1 is a contender for best intro as well.

The outro to 'Plateau' by The Meat Puppets is just utterly sublime. I'd say it's top of my list.

The outro solo on Ozzy's "Tonight" , with Randy Rhoads letting rip. I can never revisits twisting the volume up as it fades, just to hear more of it.
