Songs with Strongest Opening and Weakest Ending

[frank_iii]

This morning I was listening to one of my favorites, "David Bowie" by Phish. While I do really like the last 5 minutes or so, they could close up shop at the 3 minute mark and I'd still think it's one of the greats.

It got me to thinking if there are any other tunes out there that are great or renowned simply by virtue of their beginning despite a lackluster finish. I'll throw out Beethoven's 5th just so it's not repeated a thousand times. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
