Avalanches "Extra Kings" anyone? The reintroduction of select samples from previous tracks, the return to the "since I left you" vocal theme... gets me every time.

("Sometimes It Snows In April" and "Purple Rain" are also great answers, but I didn't read the whole thread very carefully so as not to influence my choices. I was also seriously considering "Condemned to Rock and Roll" off "Generation Terrorists" for a bit of ludicrously overblown nonsense to round my list off)

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 19 March 2005 18:02 (twenty-one years ago)

"Stagger" is the last track on Second Toughest, not "Rez."
