Which song has the best climax?

for me, it's probably gotta be 'out there somewhere?' (both parts) by orbital. It's the way it gets all swirly towards the end
 
i think "best" ain't gonna happen but one of my faves is .

has anyone pointed out that access and french kiss aren't songs? :p;)
 
Rock'n'Roll Suicide - David Bowie
Won't get fooled again - The Who
Try a little Tenderness - Ottis Redding
Holidays in the Sun - Sex Pistols
 
i think it's "Waste Your Time" by BARSE ( www.myspace.com/barsefilth )

stop start with sound effects all the way through, even a Rolf Harris wobbly board sorta thing then at the end the singer shouts "You FUCKING BASTARD!!" as police sirens chime in.

He always was a charmer with the ladies
 
sadly that song isn't up on there in fact neither is most of their best stuff, but great band anyway

Not 'The Man don't Give a Fuck'?

The live version, certainly. When I saw them they left the stage for about 15 minutes with just Cian sat there at his laptop looping everything and fucking around with it until everyone else came back to hit one last chord and then fuck off again. Brilliant :cool:
 
i'm listening to coitus by green velvet which although musically doesn't climax as such has a fantastic screaming climax sample as the percussion builds :cool:

but it isn't a song in the slightest.
 
Black Sabbath's "Thrill Of It All." If a guitar could sing with joy, Tony Iommi's does at the end of that track.

i was considering a number of green velvet numbers for this thread tbh - he does them so well.

preacherman rules, and there's a song off 'whatever' which builds amazingly (i think it's 'minimum rage')... always high points of any night. :)
 
This tune - Real Cool World by The Greatest Show on Earth - has climax after climax. It's an old (1970) 'prog' track but IMO it's a dying to be remixed as a dance tune (up the bass and hi-hat, thin out the guitar, vocals etc). It already clips along in a nice 4/4, it's got the breakdowns, it's a total hands-in-the-air-meaningless-triumphalism stomper.

Hocus Pocus by Focus. :)

I disagree - but only 'cos it's full on from the beginning so it doesn't really build to a climax IMO.

That one takes me back to long hair (often mine) flailing in strobe lights in smoky village discos. Absolutely love it, must be the ultimate headbanging track along with perhaps the Quo's "Paper Plane."

Focus have done some good quiet tracks too. I wish I still had "Hamburger Concerto."
 
"Get Out of my House" - Kate Bush

"This Corrosion" - Sisters of Mercy

Spiritualized spring to mind, but song titles are eluding me.

E2A: One I'd overlooked ... "Giant" - The The
