Blonde on Blonde ends with "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands". Dylan gave the song its own album side.

And "The End" is the best thing ever. The Doors, I mean.

"Got My Mind Set On You" is pwn.

Oh, and "Aqualung" off the album of the same name, by Jethro Tull. And "Politik" opens 'A Rush of Blood To The Head', and "Don't Panic"/"Everything's Not Lost" open/close 'Parachutes' by Coldplay.

..."Won't Get Fooled Again [Live]" closes the 'The Kids Are Alright' soundtrack.
