I really dislike songs that fade out at the end, during the chorus or something. Come up with an actual ending, damn it.
...yeah...

I agree, however the one thing I dislike more than that is when they hold the guitar chord for ever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and bend the note a little bit, and ever and ever, and ever.....

Depends on the content. Some songs work better if they just fade out to correspond with the type of mood they've set.

Name me a song, and I'll get what you mean a bit better.
And make it one I could bear to listen to... none of this metal I've never heard.

Songs that fade at the end>songs that end suddenly without explanation. The latter happens in EVERY f***ING SONG these days  |

True story, which I remember thanks to the wonderful people at Uncle John's Bathroom Reader: the reason songs fade out at the end is because of jukeboxes. Or was it diners? Actually, it might have been due to jukeboxes in diners. Basically, record companies/diner owners/whoever realized that if the song faded out instead of ending definitively, the customer wouldn't feel satisfied, and pay money to hear it again.
Why songs still fade out, I don't know. But I seriously doubt it's the same reason.
Sorry for butchering the history. Although it's less of a big deal if you imagine History as a giant hunk of Fillet Mignon. Then you won't mind as much that I butchered it.

What annoys me about this is that it makes it a bitch to sing under the shower or while walking in the streets.

It works in that song because you hear the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over again ;D |

One example where it works is the Beatles' (shocking, I know) "Got To Get You Into My Life." The song increases in tempo and adds in horns and gets louder as it fades out. It's almost as if the song is doing everything it can to resist fading out.
It's also nine seconds longer in Mono, but it still achieves the same effect.

What I hate even more is hearing songs on the radio and having the DJ talking through the beginning/ending of a song.
