Now that's what I call an outro!

[windhoek]

Best outros - what ya got?

Here's a starter for 10:

 

[Bob McC]

Dexys - This is What She’s Like

 

[Marchbanks]

Cardiacs - Dirty Boy. Just thinking about it sends shivers down my spine. 'I Want You' turned up to 11. At least.

 

[robs]

Marchbanks, you pointed me towards Cardiacs/Dirty Boy on the Tim Smith RIP thread.

Had never heard anything by them before, but hit Youtube a couple of days ago and am now completely hooked. Have found a couple of live versions too. What a song (and I'm now exploring others), though suspect they are very much a 'Marmite' band. Was thinking just the same earlier about how it ends...that is certainly an outro! Anyway, thanks for the heads up!

This one always gets me... View From a Hill, the closing song off Script of the Bridge by the Chameleons.

And thanks for posting, robs. It's always good to know you have pointed someone towards something that they really like. Especially in this case as I haven't yet got most Cardiacs stuff myself. But DB is an utter monster.

Quite a few Steely Dan tracks over the years feature superb outros.

Yes, I was going to suggest:

Third World Man
Haitian Divorce
Kid Charlemagne
Aja (obviously!)
West of Hollywood

I also enjoy the long, languid outro to "On the Dunes" from Fagen's solo effort, Kamakiriad.

 

[MichaelC]

Won’t disagree with any of those!

 

[MichaelC]

Changing band, Owner of a Lonely Heart, that ending which fades away. If only they had kept that going.

 

[windhoek]

Ah, On The Dunes, now that's what I call an outro!

 

[GaryT]

Caves of Altamira by the Dan, although it fades out too soon.

 

[Woodface]

Yes, I was going to suggest:

Third World Man
Haitian Divorce
Kid Charlemagne
Aja (obviously!)
West of Hollywood

I also enjoy the long, languid outro to "On the Dunes" from Fagen's solo effort, Kamakiriad.

They are also really good with intros, ‘Ricky don’t lose that number’ is a classic of the form.

 

[Seeker_UK]

A long one but starts at 11:25.

 

[windhoek]

I think this outro is pretty good:

They nicked it from Horace Silver.

I'm sure someone did a thread on this before.
On The Dunes and Third World Man are two of my favourites too.

Edit: The Smiths 'Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others' is a corker as well.

I'm sure someone did a thread on this before.

It turns out, you started a thread in 2016 called Best Outros, and in that thread, I suggested this

 

[irons1965]

Heh....Memory like a sieve!

Pagoda is a belter of a track

 

[Mike P]

Dire Straits 'Why Worry' has a brilliant outro.
