Closer questions

[cobl04]

I've always had these couple of questions lying around in my head. Of the 12 studio album closers we have, as seen below, answer these questions.

• Shadows and Tall Trees
• Is That All
• '40'
• MLK
• Mothers of the Disappeared
• All I Want is You
• Love is Blindness
• The Wanderer
• Wake up Dead Man/Holy Joe
• Grace/The Ground Beneath Her Feet
• Yahweh/Fast Cars

1. Which song best closes out it's respective album?
2. Which song is the best of the 12 listed, leaving aside its 'closer' status?
3. Which song is the best live closer? (Kind of a given, I think)
4. Which song is the best closer (Not of its album, just sounds the best at the end of a CD?)

 

[cobl04]

1. Love is Blindness
2. The Ground Beneath Her Feet, very closely followed by Shadows and Tall Trees
3. '40'
4. All I Want is You

1. Which song best closes out it's respective album? Love is Blindness

2. Which song is the best of the 12 listed, leaving aside its 'closer' status? Love is Blindess

3. Which song is the best live closer? (Kind of a given, I think) 40(only because of the sing along factor. Otherwise it would've again been Love is Blindess)

4. Which song is the best closer (Not of its album, just sounds the best at the end of a CD?) Love is Blindess

I was hoping this would be a Joy Division thread.

1. Which song best closes out it's respective album?
Mothers Of The Disappeared.

2. Which song is the best of the 12 listed, leaving aside its 'closer' status?
Love Is Blindness. And you do realise there aren't 12 listed? You gave 11 albums and a total of 14 songs.

3. Which song is the best live closer? (Kind of a given, I think)
40.

4. Which song is the best closer (Not of its album, just sounds the best at the end of a CD?)
All I Want Is You.

2. Which song is the best of the 12 listed, leaving aside its 'closer' status?
3. Which song is the best live closer? (Kind of a given, I think)
4. Which song is the best closer (Not of its album, just sounds the best at the end of a CD?)

1. Grace
2. Yahweh
3. "40"
4. Mothers Of The Disappeared

* I don't think that we should count with Holy Joe, Ground Beneath and Fast Cars. Those were bonus tracks, they were not planned to fit in the closing position in a natural tracklist and only a little portion of the buyers of the albums had access to these songs there.

3. Which song is the best live closer? (Kind of a given, I think)
4. Which song is the best closer (Not of its album, just sounds the best at the end of a CD?)

1. Mothers Of The Disappeared because it's the slow crawl from the American dream into the real world. To understand the character of America you have to see the pain and restlessness beneath the surface.
2. Mothers Of The Disappeared
3. Love Is Blindness
4. All I Want Is You

 

[Axver]

you forgot Bad

What does Bad conclude? Is this some special pressing of UF that only you know about?

[Earnie Shavers]

My answer to all the questions is Love is Blindness. I love the others. Wake Up Dead Man is great on the album, but not so much as a live closer. 40, of course, is 40. Ground Beneath Her Feet is a favourite of mine, but it sounds out of place on ATYCLB. Yahweh is just an absolute shitfest.
