What Songs Do You Want Played At Your Funeral?

My List:

[Zen]

KISS - Psycho

This thread should be renamed to " What song's do you like?"
Will serve the same purpose.

No actually it won't.

We all like songs, but we would want these specific ones to be played at our funerals. Here I thought it would be obvious.

[Xm@niac!]

So in other word's " Name the song you like the most"

Anyway. Forget I said anything.

Papa Roach - Between Angels and Insect's (while carrying my coffin)

[Domanskip]

So in other word's " Name the song you like the most"

No.

The songs that sum up your life on this earth are not necessarily those you like most but rather those that represent the different facets of your existence to the greatest degree.

And you can't write something and then say "Forget I said anything", that's like killing a guy and then saying "Forget I did that".

I'm sure I've seen this thread before, earlier this year. :? Must've been on SS then.

I'd have "in the air tonight" - Phil Colins. If you dont know the song, I really suggest you find it on youtube, very epic stuff.

H. - TOOL
Horse with no name - America
Sugar Mountain - Neil Young
Thru the Eyes of Ruby - The Smashing Pumpkins

[Cleric]

OH SNAP!
Although it is a tough call between that and Lateralus. Actually, I'd probably go for Lateralus.

For closing though, I want Swing Low Sweat Chariotte. Possibly on the bagpipes.

[Wight]

O, I forgot to add For those about to Rock - AC/DC as the finale.
When the cannons fire in the song, a real battery of 25-pounders must sound off in the distance. (to commemorate my service in Company of Heroes, Call of Duty or any other War genre related video game.)

[pArkEr]

The Last of the Mohicans theme song. Maybe the Paul Van Dyk mix.
Or Alicia Keys - No One.
