Comment:

Following the theme of 'Greatest First Tracks' while I was compiling another playlist of songs that I thought perfectly closed out albums. The last track always has a large load to bear: whether it needs to wrap up the previous hour-or-so of music, or whether it just need to provide some sort of post coital blow-off for what just happened, any album's merit should be able to be summed up in it's closing track. This list was slightly harder to make, so I would appreciate any suggestions of anything I missed, or something you think I got wrong.

once again great list biased though I may be. a few suggestions:

Beatles "tomorrow never knows" (also "her majesty" and "a day in the life")

a little man called Bob Dylan "sad eyed lady of the lowlands" or "desolation row"

Cat Power "evolution"

maybe would have gone with decemberists "california one/youth and beauty brigade" instead

notwist "consequence" (my favorite on the album)

unicorns "ready to die" (surprised you didn't include this one. it is after all the choice song to fake suicide to.)

pump me full of more like this.

i decieded not to include any unicorns because i have already started and finished a mix with 'I Don't Wanna Die' and 'Ready to Die,' respectively. Please note that these 13 tracks were widdled down from a list of about 20--hopefully that gives some perspective.

I recently did a mix along the same lines, and debated using but ultimately rejected several of these tracks (notably the NMH and DPlan cuts). Props!
