Songs You'd like played at your own funeral

eoinf

got to be going underground by the jam

melsman

Stop Crying You Heart Out

Evzer

In da club.

/Andy\

It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine) - REM

tony 2 tone

The Ectasy of Gold - Metallica version, off the We All Love Ennio Morricone album.

csk

shiny happy people by REM.

*marie*

Thoughts of a Dying Atheist-Muse...?

But probably something like Sailing by Rod Stewart.
Or Live Forever, or Let it Be...good thing I won't be here to decide.

What a Wonderful Man - My Morning Jacket

Would nicely sum up the feelings of the congregation I reckon...

Mushy

"The Great Gig in the Sky" from Dark Side of the Moon gets my vote.

+1

Same as what galwayrush said, get the 2112 overture just to make people sit there:D.

Living is a Problem cos Everything Dies(Biffy Clyro) is suitable. Citizen Erased by Muse. Or just have the intro to REgular John by QOTSA on repeat. Or the really screech section to I Think I Lost My Headache:D. Or the Earphoria version of Silver**** by the Pumpkins. That'd be my main one.

Jimi-Spandex

Tom Waits - A Good Man is Hard to Find from the Blood Money album

Anto McC

Asleep - The Smiths,if i died of natural causes,purely to freak everyone out.

Seriously though i've told all my friends and family that i want:

If we never meet again this side of Heaven - Johnny Cash
No Retreat,No Surrender - Bruce Springsteen (from the live 75-85 collection)

Angus MacGyver

Stairway to Heaven

Great Gig in the sky

Highway to Hell

In that order. Not a huge fan of any of them but I think people would get a laugh out of it

JustCoz

Stairway to heaven is a good one.

I would want Hallelujah, the Jeff Buckley version,
Haiti by Arcade Fire
Angeles by Elliott Smith

damonjewel

I'm only sleeping by the Beatles

Hallalujah by Can (see Crazy Christ picked this too)

Tchocky

Ween - The HIV Song

gah, I don't know.

walrusgumble

do yer want to be a spaceman, cast no shadow and fade away by oasis


and of course amhran na bhfinn

rahim

A play list would be nice, nothing major, just a few hundred songs...

Or I like the idea of a band playing you out, brings images of Slash standing on your coffin playing the November Rain solo as they lower you into the ground...

Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum.

I've been told I can't have it but if I put in my will it has to be done, doesn't it??

RichyX

Sleep Now in the Fire - Rage Against the Machine.

Planning on getting cremated oddly enough.

Tabnabs

Surprise! Your Dead! - Faith No More

I am the resurrection - Stone Roses

Say it ain't so - Weezer

youll be long buried by the time the will is read,

id pick freebird,
and theres two REM songs in already, but i cant believe neither of them is everybody hurts.

RadioGaGa

white man in hammersmith palais - the clash
Classic song. Girlfriend in a coma by the smiths sounds like a real funeral song but i struggle to find a scenario in which it would work.

Spicy Lauren

No More Shall We Part - Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds

Laserface

Ooooh spicy lauren..
mine would have to be The Mercy Seat by Nick Cave.

they'd hear me humming along to that unforgiving violin bit from inside the coffin

"across the universe", the beatles.

Fiona apple's is much better

Pat the Baker

Do You Realize by the Flaming Lips

Blackhorse Slim

Atmosphere - Joy Division

Pepe LeFrits

Instructed my best mate about six months ago to have Island in the Sun by Weezer played, should the unforeseen occur.

Fad

personally id pick something ludicrously heavy, bring me the horizon/cannibal corpse, just to piss people off because of the ''white noise'' that i somehow loved.
i second highway to hell, and third 2112 overture

Haven't a Clue

I've actually changed my mind to Motion Picture Soundtrack by Radiohead. I think there's an organ in there somewhere n all.
