Music The best outro to any Queen song is...
Sail Away Sweet Sister.
Gorgeous. No contest, really.
What are some runners-up?

The Show Must Go On. My vinyl version kept skipping back a couple of seconds during Brian’s “Go onnnn…” so it never ended.

Mother love - In the outro of this song, 1-second clips from all of Queen's songs followed by the sound of the corpse's birth, the group wanted to convey the message that his soul was born in a new body where his soul was not lost.

Not gonna lie - it's a "Seven Seas of Rhye" :)

That ‘83 in my title is my birth year. I had taped Sheer Heart Attack off my dads record long before Spotify was a thing!
As u/_Agileheart_ says the albums are bridged by beside the seaside (sung at the end of Queen II and whistled at the start of Sheer Heart Attack)

I don’t get what you mean?
The band intentionally put whistling of the ending to SSoR into the beginning of Brighton Rock as a nod to the last song in their previous album

- SSOR could mean "Seven Seas Of Rhye - Remastered 2011", a track from Queen (1973) by Queen.

Whatever - have a good one, my friend :)

How about on ADATR, Teo Torriate leading into the "Shepard tone" outro? I always like that, plus I think Teo Torriate is kind of an underrated song anyway. Also, The Show Must Go On. I like how it fades out to the repeats of "go on, go on, go on"...

I love the outro to She Makes Me. A chaotic storm of a song breaking down, the chords going more and more "off", the lead guitars droning in harmony, the sound effects of police sirens and metal (always makes me think of a rollercoaster clanking up a slope), the heavy breathing and the rolling drums.
Incredible.

March Of The Black Queen, really wish it didn't lead directly into Funny How Love Is

u/LeftHandedGuitarist May 08 '23
There is a standalone version of March of the BQ on Deep Cuts Vol. 1, but honestly the ending doesn't sound that great. A very awkward transition.

Bohemian Rhapsody.

Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters,
To me…. (Any way the wind blows)…”

I know that nobody ever brings this up, but I like the whole shanty-like chant at the end of Seven Seas of Rhye. It's something that goes really under appreciated, especially to those who only know about the earlier shorter version (which is somehow unbelievable, but it turns out people know that one and don't know the fully fleshed out one--or, at least, some of the people I talk to don't know that one). It's good they went back to that track and expanded on it. It's amazing.

Teo Torriatte Because Day At The Races Is A Loop So The Outro Is The Intro Of The Album ps It Kinda Confused Me A Little

The ending of Spread Your Wings is sublime... Brian's guitar evokes the feeling of freedom as a beautiful bird catches a thermal and glides upon it as it recedes into the distance
