great codas in rock and roll

Are you sure you’re not thinking of the violin coda on Baba O’Riley? “Won’t Get Fooled Again” ends with a scream, “Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss” and a few windmill chords which fit in with the body of the song.

Maybe he’s thinking of the “coda” from the Shepperton version.

November Rain, Guns N’ Roses. Still cheesy as hell, still awesome.

I actually thought of that one, but I’d go with the coda/outro from Paradise City myself, if it counts. I always get irritated when this one radio station (94.7 WLS in Chicago) plays the song and cuts the outro. That’s the best part of the song!

I would define the coda of WGFA as everything after “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.”
(I didn’t read the OT carefully, sounds like I should have.)

Edit: I read it, looks like “coda” has similar but different meanings.

GNR have a bunch of good codas. I think my favorite is the one from Patience.

Sunrise - Pulp

I Am The Resurrection - Stone Roses (ignore Ian’s “singing”)

The live versions of these are good ways to end the song and the concert.

Will You?- Hazel O’Connor. Probably the finest of all 80s saxophone codas.

“Soon oh soon the light” at the end of “The Gates of Delirium” by Yes. It even has its own coda (well, a few chords). “Soon” is unusual for becoming a hit on its own even though it’s part of a longer song.

The one at the end of Starship Troopers blows it completely out of the water.

I have my songs on random shuffle, and it had already been playing when I got to this thread. The coda started up when I read the OP.

Only in Dreams by Weezer. Number one seed.

That is beyond ! Almost as as when I stopped at a food truck a couple years ago and the radio was playing “Yours Is No Disgrace” and I had the “Yes Album” CD in my car and listened to it again as I drove on home.
