10 Rock Albums That Peak With The Final Song

10. The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses

Just as the world was about to tip from the sleek, neon-clean sparkle of the 80s into the stinky old 90s, one English band gave rock music the push it needed to usher in a new era.

The Stone Roses' self-titled debut album was Britpop before Britpop was Britpop - a bunch of working class lads from Manchester making dreamy music with a pseudo-philosophical tone to it.

If this sounds like a dig, then it really isn't. This album rules.

After a beautiful ride through tracks like I Wanna Be Adored, Waterfall, and This Is The One, you reach the end of the record and what an ending it is.

I Am the Resurrection is a blistering eight-minute suite where the singing basically wraps up after less than half the runtime. The rest of the song is devoted to the absolutely insane guitar playing from John Squire, who takes you on a journey that requires no words to be effective.

A big musical blowout is always a good way to finish off an album and The Stone Roses are proof of that.

The rest of the album is terrific, but nothing touches this.
