I would go for Radioheads Exit music (for a film)
On another day, perhaps I would choose Always look on the bright side of life by Monthy Python (I have been to some quite tragic funerals and this song truely takes you out of the pits a bit)
Then again, why not go for something irrelavent such as the rocker by Thin Lizzy.
pfft.
Its your funeral, you choose.

Exit Music is the ultimate choice! What about Let Down? a little more uplifting? or to leave everybody even darker, NOwhere Man by the Beatles.
The Great Gig in the Sky by Pink Floyd, imagine when the female vocal kicks in...

I think Id like some Aphex, maybe the first ambient works, when everybody is arriving...
and finsh with All is full of love by Bjork.


This is my first post hope i didnt waffle to much.

Peace

I guess Joy Division's Atmosphere ("don't walk away... in silence") is about the most depressed-sounding song (nothing personal, JoyDivision ) and Ian's gravetomb-voice should thoroughly depress whomever is there I figure I'd be a little down (and out) too on my funeral so why should I suffer alone :P

Yeah Atmosphere and Great gig in the sky would be pretty damn good.

The Perfect Day - Lou Reed

I guess that would leave 'em all wondering if you meant it to be funny or just extremely cynical

Bad Touch - BloodHound Gang

Always look on the bright side of life .. Monty Python

Samuel Barber's Adagio

Chimaira - Implements Of Destruction
13minutes and 33seconds of Metal Instrumental, go out with a bang :a013:

Well everyone your choices are very good. My choices since I have two right now would be Alice in Chains : Nutshell or AIC : Rotten Apple. God I have to admit but AIC had amazing lyrics and damb they get under your skin :a013:

none, i wanna hear people laughs

edit: this is my 100 post, weird

hard decision but i think .. what do you do for money honey by ac/dc cause it would make the missus look squirm a bit lol

comfortably numb.........or one by metallica

Electric Funeral by sabbath would be a natural. Ya know the whole y'll better change your ways or you'll join me soon.

But I guess when they drop me in the hole it would have to be STP-Dead And Bloated.

The song I want playing at my funeral is Gorrillaz-Clint Eastwood its perfect. :a013:

their are a few WISH YOU WERE HERE - PINK FLOYD
HOLIDAY IN CAMBODIA- THE DEAD KENNEDYS AND ALL ALONG THE WATCH TOWER JIMI HENDRIX AND FINALLY THE SOURCE- YOUVE GOT THE LOVE

free bird lynard skynard

Rockin' In The Free World - Neil Young

Dude my funeral is gunna be a celebration of life and music!!

Since first hearing it I always wanted the cure and funeral party. It sounds good to me, but hay I wouldn't hear it any way................or would I?

my wee mate died recently and funeral party was played and there wasnt a dry eye it was a fine choice

Europe - The final countdown cos its rather fitting, and kicks arse hehe

or an hour long drum solo. guess what instrument i play

Time To Say Goodbye by Sarah Brightman

Stairway to heaven- Led zepplin
just to be ironic, i think im taking the stairs down lol:)
but i think i would go for let down- radiohead or teardrop from a band i cant recall the name now

The Stranglers - No More Heroes
or
The Doors - The End

I'm not sure about my own funeral, but on bbc radio 4 about a year ago they had a true story about someone who wanted a queen song played at their funeral, but that they forgot to turn it off when the track changed and they all walked out to another one bites the dust.

Flogging Molly - if i ever leave this world alive

killing joke - requiem

or

alice in chains - down in a hole

Who wants to live forever....Queen
The end is here....Alterbridge

Don't stop moving by S club 7 or It ends tonight by the all american rejects

Yep I agree with Stairway To Heaven.

Not that I'm going that way !!!

Thats the funniest thing ive heard in ages.

Dimmu Borgir - In Deaths Embrace

knocking on heavens door.... by guns and roses..............only because the one being played back will be....

you can keep on knocking but you cant come in!


seriously though i have already chosen g n r knocking on heavens door, mrs said i wasnt allowed any ac/dc tracks

Pantera - Cemetery Gates

And I want to be burried in a kiss coffin

Excellent choice!

Now thats a good choice.
That song (well really, its one song) is probably my favourite Tool song and also my favourite Tool video.

Ive lways been crazy, but its kept me from going insane
Waylon Jennings

and

A self recorded track of me crying let me out and scratching noises ...

If i wanted to be all emotional and stuff, Dead Boy's Poem by Nightwish.

If i wanted to be funny, it'd be Hey Man, Nice Shot by Filter

My first post btw.

i'd want something a little dark or sad like some Johnny Cash off either America Volumes 1,3,4,or 5

but after that since its a bit downbeat maybe something happier after ward to pick up spirits it may be a sad day and all but it should be made a little brighter

Hmm

Difficult one. I'm torn between two views:

1 - I want the masses to feel. "He's gone, but WTF lets celebrate his life. Lets rejoice in his memory. Lets use his example as a lesson for us all and live our lives free from the stagnated values of organised religion and the anxiety, jealousy and greed that modern socety uses to encourage us to consume and fear. With this in mind I'd have them play Rage Against The Machine - Killing in the Name. Id then closely follow this with Super Furry Animals - The Man Dont Give A f*@&%. My Mum'd love that, bless her

2 - I'd want to emphasise their sadness with a heartrenching song that represented me and how I'd lived my life.
Now, in an ideal world that song would be Roger Daltery's Giving It All Away. A song about how I'd tried, I may have failed, beaten down by inexperience and the grind of life, but goddam it I'd tried and learned the hard way.
But i've got to be honest, nice as that song is, the reality is that I just couldnt be arsed to try in the first place. Its gotta be Spiritualised's Don't Just Do something.

One of the Following:
Its Been to Long: Daft Punk
Glasglow Kiss: John Petrucci
Angel: Marty Friedman
You got the Touch: Stan Bush

Stone Sour - through glass
robbie williams - come undone
