What music would you like played when you've bought the farm? - Page 2

I hope you get planted with some Beats or other crappy 'phones so you can leave whatever good ones you have to family or friends. 

Funeral music, Side one of 2112.

Then bury me with headphones on.

For about a decade, I have asked friends to make sure "Let Down" from Radiohead's OK Computer would be played.

I should put that in writing, I guess.  That and Peter Gabriel's Passion Soundtrack. 

I don't know but I really don't want any sad music playing at my funeral.  Maybe In Memory of Elizabeth Reed by the Allman Brothers?  IDK just something more celebratory than reminiscent.     

If I were actually buying a farm I'd want some Ricky Skaggs or Earl Scruggs playing at the closing.  

It really depends on how I die.

say I die, using myself as a crashmat for a falling chubby kid, then I'd love something slightly heroic like "all the young dudes" by Mott the Hoople

But if I were to die of a terrible disease, then Id probably like something slightly darker and boarderline ambient, so they can sit and think about what a great guy I am, like "Black Mountain" by C-mon and kypski

the song doesn't really have to be about life or death for me, I think that is a cheap way out. 

EDIT: Perhaps just freak everybody out with something like "The king of carrot flowers part one two and three" by neutral milk hotel

Spanish Flea, followed by Dance Around The Mexican Hat. It will be a Mexican themed funeral.

"Ashes the Rain and I"-------Joe Walsh....followed by "One Way Out"--The Allman Bros.Band for starters,... Grand Finally... " The END" by the group that changed my life........The Beatles

"Magnificent Madness" and "Touch" by John Klemmer and "I Love You More Today Than Yesterday" by Stevie Wonder 

Darkthrone - Grave With a View

AC/DC - Highway To Hell

Venom - Buried Alive (followed immediately by Raise the Dead)

Cannibal Corpse - Born In A Casket

Slayer - Hell Awaits

Twisted Sister - Burn In Hell

Candlemass - Dark Are The Veils Of Death

Bathory - A Fine Day to Die

Bathory - Reaper

Black Death - Night Of The Living Death

Just Breathe by Pearl Jam 

Time

"Strobe" by deadmau5

Staying Alive - Bee Gees :P

Guns N' Roses - November Rain. In it's entirety. I never get tired of the solo at 7:09

After that, Bloodhound Gang - FireWaterBurn, as I will be cremated when the time comes. Burn, motherf*****, burn! :)

MetroExpress, a globally distributed free newspaper actually did a reader survey all around the globe about 6-7 years ago. Most popular kicked-the-bucket theme song was, predictably, Frank Sinatra - My Way. Slightly more surprising, but awesomely cool, was the runner up - AC/DC - Highway To Hell. I really should make sure they play that one too, 'cause if the christians are right, that's where I'll be going. I've already give instructions that I want to be buried with a large bag of hotdogs, my apron and my barbeque tools. I'm an atheist, but working in IT has taught me to prepare for the unexpected.
