I don't get much call to post progressive rock here, but I can't pass this up. Gentle Giant's concept album Three Friends, about three schoolboys who follow three very different paths in their adult lives ("went from class to class"), fades out on one of the most intricate yet gorgeous musical flights I've ever heard ... perhaps the greatest album ending ever. Playing air guitar to this is almost like meditating for me.
