    Videotape by Radiohead is a beautiful song... great one to go out on.
    Although Knights of Cydonia would be excellent too.

    'No-one gonna take me alive'...

    To Live Is To Die - Metallica, love the guitar solo and harmoniesin that song, not sure if many others would like it :pac:

    For shocks would have to be God Hates Us All - Slayer, i can imagine the catholic church would have something to say afterwards though:o
