Final albums are often last grasps at fame and money, but on occasion they serve as a fitting capstone to a band’s career. On today’s show we explore two final albums that we think send these legendary artists off on a good note.

Sam Cooke – Ain’t That Good News (1964)

The Police – Synchronicity (1983)

Crypt Sermon – The Stygian Rose (2024)

Meco – Music Inspired by Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk (1977)

Can’t Stand Losing You: Surviving the Police (2012)

Post Malone – F-1 Trillion (2024)
