The Goldberg Variations - (so that you'll actually get in to heaven)

The Final Countdown

Kiith

Vide Cor Meum
Pachelbel's Canon
The October Sky Theme
Last 3 tracks from Gladiator
The last two tracks from Shawshank Redemption

then i'd have a full symphony orchestra roll in play interrupted by fireworks, and various other final fantasy vii tracks. and finally, i'd have someone on the piano playing the final theme from mario world as i'm being carried out...nerdiest funeral ever!!!

Inigo Montoya

I think to begin with,

Unwell by matchbox 20, followed by
Let me up, I've had enough by Tom Petty,
and to finish Deeper Underground by Jamirioke

slipss

Probably start of with Underworld - Born Slippy, then Oasis - Live Forever then Guns and Roses - Sympathy for the Devil and finish it all up with Oasis - Whatever.

good stuff.
mine would be the X Files Theme tune or the full 22 or so minutes of Kraftwerk's Autobahn. people would be so bored but i would be so pleased with myself burning away in hell

Barber's Adagio For Strings to make sure everyone's in tears...

Or 'Always look on the bright side of the life.'

I'd have to choose "Now You're a Man" from 'Orgazmo' as my coffin is leaving the church, followed by the classic Sunday Game theme as I enter the cold damp earth.

Gotta keep in character until the very end.

I'd like to make an addition to this. Firstly, the 'intro' theme from France '98 as the teams walked onto the pitch would make for a good opener.

After the mass, I am also going to get stuffed and mounted in the corner of my sitting room like this. Claws and fangs may be added at a later date to complement the pose.

Now to start on my will....gotta make this become a reality whenever I do the mortal coil shuffle.

followed by

Counting Crows - Colorblind

Hmm, short list of what I would choose from.

Crowded House - Fall at your Feet
Nirvana - Where did you sleep last night?
Evanescence - Missing
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
Royksopp - What else is there?
Belle & Sebastian - Piazza, New York Catcher
Belle & Sebastian - I'm a Cuckoo
The Rolling Stones - Paint it Black
JR Cash - Hurt
Stone Sour - Bother
Slipknot - Danger-Keep Away
Nightwish - Ghost love score
Slayer - Seasons in the abyss
The Beatles - Yesterday

Much Classical music, couldn't hazard a guess apart from that lovely third movement so far.
