Let's see:

Genesis - Supper's End
King Crimson - Starless
Big Big Train - Victorian Brickwork, East Coast Racer, Snowfalls, Endnotes
Spock's Beard - The Good Don't Last, Flow, My Shoes (Revisited)
The Blue Nile - The Downtown Lights
Marillion - Interior Lulu, King, The Great Escape
Pink Floyd - High Hopes, The Turning Away
Winger - Headed for a Heartbreak
Kip Winger - Resurrection, Here
Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons, Learning to Live (Scarred is another good one)
Rush - The Big Money
Mew - Comforting Sounds
King's X - It's Love

A partial list at least. There are a ton more if I sat and thought probably.

Great call, and it's what I always think of when I listen to Metallica's Halo On Fire which has its own amazing outro.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

This was my first thought.

Pardon the interruption, but I just had to run in and celebrate the majesty of Lube in the Face as highest moment in roulette history

Even with Stargazer, Bart for the win.

My own personal favorite (even with the fade being a felony in 39 states):  Tonight, by Ozzy.

I haven't sat down to make my list, but Stargazer, as great as it is, doesn't jump top of mind for me.

Pink Floyd - High Hopes.

And made even better when David would extend it with a short acoustic section in his later tours.

Can't believe I'm the first to say this, but the last 1.5 minutes of The Mirror/Lie! I don't think anything in DT's catalog can top that outdo/ending!
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

Kansas was long the king of awesome endings, but I think Neal Morse has surpassed them.  I could make a list of about 100 songs with awesome endings listing only ones by Kansas and Neal Morse (counting Spock's, solo, NMB, TA and Flying Colors).

For the fogey's ....

Rush - Closer to the Heart (Different Stages version)
Pink Floyd - Welcome to the Machine
Supertramp - Fool's Overture
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird (live, of course)
Derek and the Domino's - Layla
The Beatles - Hey Jude
Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland
The Doobie Brothers - Black Water

Foghat - Slow Ride
Grand Funk Railroad - I'm Your Captain
Joe Walsh - Rocky Mountain Way
Marshall Tucker Band - Can't You See
Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill
Peter Frampton - Do You Feel Like We Do
Yes - Siberian Khatru

And two of the greatest guitar solo's in classic rock history, how I'm the first to mention these baffles me
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
The Eagles - Hotel California

That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

Freebird was honestly my first thought. I wondered if that was too easy of a reply.

It's hard to think of that, and Comfortably Numb and Hotel California, for examples, as either an "outro" or an "ending" when that part takes up the last 1/3 to 1/2 of the song.

I’ve sung it from the rooftops in other threads, but The Province by IQ might be one of my favorite outros of all time. From the guitar solo thru to the mellow soliloquy…just pure bliss and I never get tired of it.
