This is hard.

For sure, I wouldn't vote for Goodbye Baby or You and I, part 2, but deciding between the other 4 is difficult, especially since I'm not trying to decide between the best song, but the best song at closing its own particular album.

YES! That's mainly the point.

Tough one! I like ISA more as a song, but I feel GDW is a better ending.

This is really difficult. I voted ISA. The feeling I have when that tune fades out is sublime. Caps the album so nicely.

I LOOOOOOOVE GDW, but my vote is with Wish You Were Here. I love the song, and is a good end for an album. After songs like EOTW, SB, ES, is good to go home (?) with a relaxing song.
Regards!

I like GDW (and ISA) as a closer because it's (somewhat) dissonant. Sometimes an aftertaste is interesting.

"Never Forget Tonight" is really great too, not in the least because its pleasant finality comes after a "night" of some serious unresolved acrimony.

The rest don't do it for me. They're logical choices but as songs a little forgettable. I like the very ending of "Wish You Were Here" though.

I voted ISA, but all the songs are great, a hard choice for me
