10 Best Rock Music Album Closers Of The 2000s

10. Till I Get My Way - The Black Keys (Rubber Factory)

The Black Keys didn't name their third studio album Rubber Factory just because they thought it sounded cool. It was recorded in an actual abandoned tire processing plant.

The fact that it sounded cool was bonus.

After making waves on the underground scene, this neo-blues duo finally cracked the Billboard 200 with this 2004 release. Though major mainstream success was still a little while off - it only reached number 143 - Rubber Factory marked a massive step on their path to global superstardom.

Whilst retaining their trademark crunchy, lo-fi sound, this record was the smoothest produced by the band up to that point. Evidence of this compromise can be found on the closing track, Till I Get My Way.

A typically-structured blues number, Till I Get My Way showcased the band's songwriting chops whilst maintaining an honest, raw feel. Dan Auerbach's guitar and Patrick Carney's drums are joined by some pounding piano for an extra melodic edge, making for a thoroughly enjoyable listen.

It didn't push boundaries or re-shape the musical landscape, but Till I Get My Way offers a time capsule of a band about to explode in popularity.
