Last weeks look at openers gives way to the obvious next playlist topic, and thats Closers! Often times, at least in the days of vinyl, the album closer was epic! Almost always a great representatin of the band, and certainly not often a radio hit. Nowadays the last track on a disc an be classified and mostly filler, and sounds ilke an afterthought. So, heres a call to all bands to made their albums great from Opener to CLoser, no more filler for the sake of filling up a disc, or to get those few great tracks out on the market. In other words, be excellent always! That sounds strangely familiar...
Heres 5 of the best ever (IMO) ...
Anyway, Ive culled 5 great album closers from depths of my collection in the hopes that a) we get great discussion going, b) to hear great classic rock blasting from your speakers! And then its your turn - Listen, Comment, Share, and keep it going...

I'll just say that the Loverboy track is awesome. My favorite.
As I kind of listen to this (since it's been done before), I was wondering why there hasn't been an all Bruce Hall SHT. You could run with that for a few weeks. Plus it will be a new idea for you, not something that's been done before. Of course it wouldn't be YOUR idea since I just came up with it, but you could rest peacefully knowing you did something new. Just an idea, just because I'm here to help.
A few months ago I got on a Jackson Browne kick. Picked up a few albums, this wasn't one of them. I got off my JB kick, but this isn't a bad song, really.
The Loverboy track is pretty good, I like it and that's all that matters.
I guess the last three songs are ok. I guess.
4 albums/songs.
With the second run thru, the songs are starting to skip to the next song without finishing. It's like someone is trying to edit the player. Hmmmm.....
not messing with the player... must be your internet connection.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
So I'm guessing you own everything but The Pretender...
I will give your suggestion some thought, it sounds like a good one and several hidden treasures come to mind immediately...
Well... looking through his writing credits compared to my REO collection, he's not the most prolific songwriter
I'm sure you can find at least five songs. Unless you don't own all the REO albums in which BH was a member.
A better one would be album closers performed by bassists who sing occasionally.
