I am a sucker for a good rock opera and this album delivers
Going to be played at a lot of weddings (if it isn’t already)

An all-time pick for me as well.
A few more:
The Ice is Getting Thinner - Death Cab, Narrow Stairs (2008)
https://youtu.be/v89cykp97jI
60 & Punk - Death Cab, Thank You For Today (2018). Benny G has always arranged albums very well
https://youtu.be/C9nLqUQYoiE
The Willing Well IV: The Final Cut - Coheed and Cambria, Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness (2005)
https://youtu.be/beHn1jPDsrY
All I Wanted - Paramore, Brand New Eyes (2009). An absolute crippler from (I think) their strongest album
https://youtu.be/W7nmB20qJv4
Terraformer - Thank You Scientist, Terraformer (2019)
One People, One Struggle - Anti-Flag, The Terror State (2003). Chris #2 ’s bass line on this is absolutely filthy
Save Me - Avenged Sevenfold, Nightmare (2010)
https://youtu.be/dchOBArzefw
Morningstar - AFI, The Art of Drowning (2000).
https://youtu.be/DO2LuJBnCj4
Radio - Alkaline Trio, Maybe I’ll Catch Fire (2000)
Freedom - Rage Against the Machine, Rage Against the Machine (1992). I mean… top that.

@anon3021505 , The Godfather of Blades. I come to you today, on this day of Enders/closers to ask for your forgiveness. As I have left out the proposed anthem for YOTB. Mea culpa

Like the openers question, so many will go missed. Just off the top of my head…
Nirvana “All Apologies” from In Utero
The Clash “Train In Vain” from London Calling
Wilco “One Sunday Morning” from Whole Love
David Bowie “Rock n Roll Suicide” from Ziggy Stardust

How about closing songs that are the entire side of an album?

Does train in vain count though? The song was not originally listed on the album’s track listing, appearing as a hidden track at the end of the album.

This is a very valid point. One could argue for it to be disqualified for the reason you listed.
