Best album closer?
Which song do you think is the best album closer?
My pick (very predictable):
The Tourist from Radiohead's OK Computer.
Just a nice quiet song after an emotional album.
So what are your picks?

"Avalon" off of Sigur Ros' Agaetis Byrjun.
"Everglade" off of Tortoise's TNT
"Two Headed Boy pts. I & II" off of Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
(good god my lists are more predictable every day)

Speaking of "closer", I'd go with Joy Division's "Decades" from their album "Closer".
Cocteau Twins' "Four Calendar Cafe" definitely isn't one of their best recordings, but the last song on the album, "Pur", is as good as anything they've ever done.
Edited to add: Garbage "You Look So Fine"

Here are a few favorites of mine:
"The President's Daughter" (Fountains of Wayne's Utopia Parkway)
"Source Tags and Codes" (AYWKUBTTOD's Source Tags and Codes)
"A Murder of One" (Counting Crows' August and Everything After)
"All Apologies" (Nirvana's In Utero)
Actually, there are others I'd've picked if there weren't incredibly short songs (i.e., less than 30 seconds) following them -- "A Long December" off of the Counting Crows' Recovering the Satellites and "The End" off of the Beatles' Abbey Road come to mind.
