| The last version of this thread was absolutely loaded with bullshit. I'm not going to make any generalisations about fade-outs or endless choruses or whatever.
Songs where the ending isn't really bad, but it just doesn't fit the song: Porcupine Tree/"Fear of a Blank Planet" The Beatles/"A Hard Day's Night" Thom Yorke/"The Eraser"
Otherwise great songs with bad endings: Black Sabbath/"Children of the Grave" Black Sabbath/"Hole in the Sky" Black Sabbath/"War Pigs" Golden Earring/"Radar Love" Iron Maiden/"Die with Your Boots On" Kansas/"Mysteries and Mayhem" Loverboy/"Working for the Weekend" Queen/"One Vision" Queen/"We are the Champions" Scorpions/"Blackout"
Otherwise good songs with bad endings: Adam Lambert/"Whole Lotta Love" Aerosmith/"Round and Round" Aerosmith/"Critical Mass" Annihilator/"Word Salad" Arctic Monkeys/"Crying Lightning" Billy Squier/"Don't Say No" Coldplay/"Low" Deep Purple/"Chasing Shadows" Metallica/"The Memory Remains" Motorhead/"Capricorn" Queens of the Stone Age/"I Think I Lost My Headache" Red Hot Chili Peppers/"Funky Monks" Sonic Youth/"Mote" Supergrass/"Evening of the Day" Tesla/"Time"
Mediocre songs with bad endings: Aerosmith/"Livin' on the Edge" AFI/"Halloween" Arctic Monkeys/"The Bad Thing" Depeche Mode/"Blasphemous Rumours" Ozzy Osbourne/"Can You Hear Them?"
Terrible songs with even worse endings: Deep Purple/"Child in Time" Nirvana/"Smells Like Teen Spirit" The Beatles/"Strawberry Fields Forever"
Songs that have a false ending that would have been better than the "real" ending: Alice in Chains/"Rain When I Die" Black Sabbath/"Heaven and Hell" Emerson, Lake, and Palmer/"Take a Pebble" Foo Fighters/"New Way Home" Foo Fighters/"Next Year" Skid Row/"Midnight/Tornado"
Songs that house a hidden track that is far, far worse than the main track: Bon Jovi/"Sympathy" Tenacious D/"City Hall"
Songs that reprise a prior track at the end, which completely kills the mood of the song: Queens of the Stone Age/"In the Fade"
Edits that fuck everything up by hacking off the best part: Lynyrd Skynyrd/"Freebird" [single version] The Beatles/"Get Back" [Let it Be/Let it Be... Naked versions]
Times when Harmonix or Neversoft eliminated a fade-out and ended up giving the song a bad ending: Blue Oyster Cult/"Don't Fear the Reaper" [Rock Band] Bon Jovi/"Livin' on a Prayer" [Guitar Hero: World Tour] Judas Priest/"You've Got Another Thing Comin" [Rock Band DLC] The Beatles/"Michelle" [Rock Band: The Beatles] The Jimi Hendrix Experience/"Bold as Love" [Rock Band DLC] The Jimi Hendrix Experience/"Castles Made of Sand" [Rock Band DLC] The Jimi Hendrix Experience/"Spanish Castle Magic" [Rock Band DLC] Twisted Sister/"I Wanna Rock" [Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the '80s]
Wavegroup covers with bad endings: David Bowie/"Ziggy Stardust" [Guitar Hero]
suggest more because i know i missed a lot of obvious ones and i don't really have that many to begin with honestly
also if you disagree with any of these tell me and i might remove it maybe |

| Although I feel like Midnight is far and away the superior part of the song, Tornado has kind of grown on me, but I guess I wouldn't miss it if it were removed. I also wholly agree on Rain When I Die, and will have to add Helter Skelter for the same reason. Fade-outs are iffy, but fade-ins are horrible.
I will also have to add "The Bad Thing" by Arctic Monkeys on the list of good songs with bad endings. Too abrupt, too lazy, especially on a song that could arguably be considered a filler song compared to the rest of the album.
I also feel like "Time" by Tesla is a bit annoying. I don't know if I dislike it to the point of considering it bad, but it definitely deserves a mention.
And although the song is by far Porcupine Tree's best ever, the weakest part of "Fear of a Blank Planet" is definitely the last part.
I probably have a few more, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. |

| Helter Skelter is saved at the last moment by Ringo's "I've got blisters on my fingers" scream. I can't put it on the list because of that.
I added all your other suggestions, though. You're completely right, except I was a bit harsher on Time. |

| Doesn't Strawberry Fields Forever do the same thing as Helter Skelter? Though I think Helter Skelter's ending is worse than SFF, ringo's scream does save it.
I would much rather have a fadeout than a random hard stop. Chasing Shadows by Deep Purple is a pretty bad offender of this.
And though most of you haven't listened to Stark Reality, ALL of their songs end by turning into free jazz garbage.
For example, here is a song that takes a full 45 seconds to end. |

| I always forget about Strawberry Fields Forever, since I absolutely loathe the original version. I only ever listen to the Love version.
I added it and Chasing Shadows, but the ending was the best part of that Stark Reality song. |

| There is more Low by Coldplay is a huge culprit in this category, the actual song is so infinitely much better than the ending. Word Salad by Annihilator also has a pretty unnecessary ending, wrecking face with a whammy bar into a fade-out is uncool Mysteries and Mayhem's outro by Kansas is just a big wat I will keep on posting stuff I find |
