LeeBB Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Of course I disagree about Prog, which I consider Satan's Musak ;-) Among masters of the outro I would have Lou Reed and VU up top. Stone Roses should be there too. The thing I love about these acts is that just when you think that this great song is coming to a predictable but fine close, they pull out a brand new, but entirely sympathetic, section... a true "coda", that lifts the song to a higher plane altogether. Layla is another obvious example of the coda, and it is surely the first song that springs to my mind when we are talking outros. See ya, LBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Stone Roses? Outros? I never thought of that. I Wanna Be Adored has a brilliant intro (it was the one that made me sit up and listen to the band in the first place) but I never focussed on their outros (which must be awesome, since they are awesome ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that band! Maybe they were only great for about a year, but what a year it was. LBBBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraInNevada Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 The intro to Red House by Jimi Hendrix comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foolonthehill Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I think progressive rock bands are the masters of outros (then again, I think progressive rock bands are the masters of pretty much everything ). I used to think Supper's Ready by Genesis definitely had the best outro ever, but the song that supposedly inspired Supper's Ready, A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers by Van der Graaf Generator is a serious competitor. I never really liked the end of Supper's Ready. I'm not really a big fan of fadeouts. My favourite endings would be Strawberry Jam by Animal Collective and Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt (well it's pretty much just my favourite all-around). I like the way they have a definite ending but the sound reverberates a bit afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chutzpah Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 "Hear my train a coming"...Jimi Hendrix..."Voodoo Child" too...Hendrix played thru his amps straight up...outros... Alvin Lee..."The bluest blues"...Rory Gallagher..."I take what I want"...(actually that whole song just smokes)"Keychain" too...and the inevidible "Comfortably Numb"...I've seen this song live by both bands... (David Gilmour w/ Pink Floyd?) And Roger Waters with Eric Clapton,Jeff Beck...and the guy from ARC angels... "Sorry can't remember his name...(Edna's brownies again)...And David Gilmour had the solo down...(I mean wah-wah and fuzz) It sounded like (excuse the phrase) "Blues in outer space" IMHO... Roger Waters... Had a better show" But...He also had 3 guitar players... Wow...Those "brownies" kicked my ass...I feel like a s**t faced monkey :happybanana: ..."Sorry" for the long post...and "Thank you" again for the brownies...

Carl Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Gotta second "Baba O'Riley" and the amazing violin jig. Just found out that it was performed by a guy named Dave Arbus, who did the song "Jig A Jig" with East of Eden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Speaking of outros... this one has a very nice conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumboXL Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 The nicest ending in pop history is in the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band´s hilarious Jazz, Deliciously Hot, Disgustingly Cold. Second place is for the Rolling Stones, in Mother´s little helper. Nicest intro of all times: U2 in Where the streets have no name. Second place is for the Rolling Stones´ Paint it, black.

Skuff Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Here's a few from Gorillaz. Gorillaz-Feel Good Inc with the laughing Gorillaz-On Melancholy Hill. That chime hit gets me EVERY time I listen to that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamjam1000 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I made an account on this site for the sole purpose of expressing my disbelief that nobody has mentioned Interpol yet, the kings of outros. The outro to 'PDA' is probably the best ever written. Cheers, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
