That's really more of a coda than a song - not to nitpick or anything (I know I hate it when people do that to me) but I have to say that because I don't think any album ever had a finer final song that Plastic Ono Band's 'God'.

I'll also mention:

Soon - My Bloody Valentine's Loveless
40 Versions - Wire's 154
Anthrax - Gang of Four's Entertainment
Leave Me Alone - New Order's Power, Corruption and Lies

Salt of the Earth - Stone's Beggar's Banquet

All I Want is You - u2 (Rattle n Hum)
Mothers of the disappeared - u2 (joshua Tree)

Find the River, Electrolite - REM
Love is Blindness, Yahweh, 40 - U2
Rock n Roll Suicide, Wild is the Wind, Secret Life of Arabia - David Bowie
Would? - Alice in Chains
But Not Tonight (if this counts) - Depeche Mode
My Hometown - Bruce Springsteen
Road to Nowhere, This Must Be the Place - Talking Heads
Wolf at the Door, Street Spirit, The Tourist - Radiohead
Adore, Partyup - Prince

Nice choices.

I'd also throw in "Prophets of Rage" from It Takes A Nation of Millions . . ., which remains, IMHO, the greatest hip-hop album ever made.

Thanks I like your list too.

namepeace said:

Ahh, I thought of including that album somehow but the last track is actually "Party For Your Right To Fight" which isn't one of the stronger tracks.

Nice catch!
