When crafting an album, bands and artists often spend part of the time thinking on the right order for the songs, depending on what they want to transmit. One of these decisions involves [[EpicRocking the longest songs]], if they are present. The usual place for these often varies: they may go at the beginning, at the middle, or at the end of a side (in the case of multi-sided albums). However, creating a long song isn't an easy task, and your band may risk boring the listener before the album ends unless you adapt the piece to its place on the list. So bands often place the longest songs at the end of the album, often as a way to close the album on a high note.

** ''Anvil Vapre'' closes with "Secong Peng" (10:53) (on the CD version, anyway).

** ''Music/{{Nevermind}}'' (at least on CD) ends with "[[HiddenTrack Endless, Nameless]]" (6:44).

* Music/EmersonLakeAndPalmer: ''Brain Salad Surgery'' closes with the epic "Karn Evil 9" (so long that on the vinyl album, it actually starts ''halfway through side one''), although it could be argued that it's actually a suite of three (or even four) songs.
