Bands where your favorite song is on their final (or most recent) album
« on: June 20, 2018, 10:28:01 PM »
High Hopes might be my favorite Floyd song (discounting live versions). Wait, crap are we supposed to count The Endless River?

Actual favorite:
Glen Campbell - Adios (If you can listen to that, knowing the story, and not bawl your eyes out, you're a stone.)
Queen - Innuendo

Maybe not ACTUALLY favorites, but certainly contenders:
Asia - Till We Meet Again
Genesis - Fading Lights
The Beatles - I've Got A Feeling
Whitesnake - Forevermore

I mean, technically that is their final album. I personally consider it post-humous and there's a few songs from Freddie's solo work that made it on there that was re-worked by Brian, Roger, and John.

Innuendo will always count as their last for me. Made in Heaven had good stuff but more counted as a left-over album.

Yeah if The Division Bell counts as PF’s last album, then I pick High Hopes.

10,000 Days (Wings pt 2) by Tool.

The only Tool song that I really like.

Dream Theater - Power Down

and I think Graves is a good contender for a favourite Caligula's Horse song, though that's a tough call regardless

Some I'm not 100% sure of, but they're at least, like Stadler said, strong contenders:

Haken - The Architect
Rivers of Nihil - The Silent Life
Persefone - Stillness is Timeless
Elder - Sanctuary
Manchester Orchestra - The Grocery
Converge - The Dusk in Us
The Dear Hunter - The Most Cursed of Hands / Who Am I
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - The Great Chain of Being
The Hirsch Effekt - Xenophotopia
Cult of Luna - The Wreck of S.S. Needle
Orphaned Land - The Cave
Novembre - Umana
God Is An Astronaut - Seance Room
Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage or Exist

If Innuendo counts I would pick the title track or The Show Must Go On too, I've been getting into them a bit more lately and those songs are both fantastic.

High Hopes is a great answer, and the first that came to mind for me as well.

Speaking of Queen, just coincidentally I watched Queen Rocks Montreal, and... wow.     Other than a moment there where my daughter was like "Wow, how did you guys not see that coming?" when Freddie  was prancing around barefoot in the tight white shorts, red bandanna and Canadiens hat (which I thought was funny; she didn't say it to be judgmental) that guy... I forgot how good he was.  "Save Me" - as good as Jeff did it with Sons - was just out of this world, and I even caught my wife looking at the screen when he and Brian did "Love Of My Life".  Then, after two hours he destroys (in a good way) We Are The Champeens...   no one can touch him in my book.

It's not my #1 favorite, but it comes super close. "My Eternal Dream" by Stratovarius is one of the best power metal songs ever written and it was made 30 years into the band's existence on their 16th album. That's damn good.

Not the favorites, but perhaps the most 'emotional' swan songs (ruh roh, another thread starter ;))

Queen - The Show Must Go On
Led Zeppelin - I'm Gonna Crawl
The Beatles - Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End
The Eagles - Sad Café
Genesis - Fading Lights

Like others have said, High Hopes is the first that came to mind. Also Exist by Avenged Sevenfold is a beast of a song, although I'm not sure if it's my favorite of there's. It's definitely a contender.

I'm sure there are others, I'd have to think about it.

Sorry, folks, but The Endless River is the last Pink Floyd album, so listing anything from The Division Bell is cheating. ;)

I could possibly say Blackstar by David Bowie.  There are a handful of Bowie songs that could be my favorite on any given day and that is one of them.

I called that out in my first post. And everything I have read says Made in Heaven is an official Queen album release as well, so similarly Innuendo is discounted.

Good call on After Forever - their best album and I would rather listen to that than Nightwish.  I would've liked one more album out of After Forever before Floor moved on.

If you're going to make that call on Innuendo - which I don't disagree with (frankly, I forgot about Made In Heaven, so my bad!) you have to ditch "In Through The Out Door" by Zeppelin, too, since the band considers Coda part of the canon.

While I understand the desire to pretend Calling All Stations doesn't exist, nevertheless it does ;) Fading Lights is off their penultimate album.

My own answers (that come immediately to mind):

Right In Two (Tool)

so, does 1 album count?

I guess I'll say:
