Inspired by Jiri's list of greatest track numbers, I decided to make a tracklist of my own!

I chose 1 song as the best 1st track of any album, 1 song as the best 2nd track of any album, etc. The list goes to 10 tracks, because I only know a few albums that have more than 10 tracks.

To keep it diverse, I've followed the rule of 1 song per band. I've tried to also choose the songs in such a way that the tracklist flows nicely, with diversity in pace and genres, but still working together to create one hell of an album!

1.Mercyful Fate - Don't Break The Oath

2.Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus

3.Slayer - Show No Mercy

4.Judas Priest - Defenders Of The Faith

5.Death - Leprosy

2.Judas Priest - Painkiller

3.Summoning - Minas Morgul

4.Megadeth - Rust In Peace

5.Testament - The Legacy

There are various types of album closers: those that combine everything from the beginning of the album (Recharging the Void), the last punch in the face (Dyers Eve), the standout best song of the album (Hallowed Be Thy Name), the melancholy instrumental outro (No Dreams Breed in Breathless Sleep), and many other types!
These are my favorite album finishers! Enjoy!

1.Vektor - Terminal Redux

2.Death - Symbolic

3.Metallica - Ride The Lightning

4.Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?

5.Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast
