I only wanted to do one album per artist, so it was a tough decision choosing between 'All Apologies' and "Something in the Way." In the end, I just went with the song I like more.
Also, the song's lyrics and the vocal repetitions towards the end, not only close In Utero out with feeling and grace, but 'All Apologies' takes on even more significance as Kurt's bittersweet swansong - a poetic, musical suicide note.
Have you heard of Man Man? They have a closing song called Oh, La Brea on their album Life Fantastic. It is one of the most perfect album closers I've ever heard.
@tim24794 ooh, that's a really good one. will have to add that as an honorable mention. @iplaydageetar never heard that album but will try to check it out. thanks for the recommendation.

How about 'The Diamond Sea' from Sonic Youth's 'Washing Machine'?
