What I'm looking for - indeed, what I've always loved - are great songs that have a proper, punchy ending, rather than that wishy-washy cop out from hell, the gradual fade out. Here's three to get you started.

1. Our Lips are Sealed by the Go-Go's: not only ends on a beautiful harmony but it's actually the best bit of a brilliant song.

2. A Day in the Life by the Beatles: everyone knows this one. Possibly the most famous long piano chord in history. Unfathomably deep.

3. Teenage Kicks from the Undertones. You've heard it a million times, but it's the triumphant finish that make this two minutes of heaven extra special. Mr. Peel had a point.

Any others you'd like to recommend? (PS live versions don't count, as it's very difficult to fade out effectively in this situation...)
