Last Tracks On An Album

[Dave]

Usually towards the end of an album, the filler material has well and truely kicked in and the last song on the album is normally very average or just plain forgetable but every now and then, some albums produce a gem to finish off with.

Listening to Aerosmith's Toys In The Attic today, the track the album ends with is "You See Me Crying" and this is one I class as a gem

What are some more "LAST TRACK GEMS" ??????
