If you would read my complete post I wouldn't need to do any explaining, This is the second thread you have singled me out of, and in the other thread if you would have read my complete post your comments wouldn't have been necessary either.
Here is what you neglected to read/comprehend from this post:

I haven't listened to all of these songs, and don't even know all the artists

I also wondered the same thing though and asked the person who picked this song why, not to judge (since musical taste/selection is ALL OPINION) and I believe his response was something to do with the way he interpreted the question.
He thought that I meant it was the last song you would hear before he could die as if he would be able to hold on for this one last song and he picked "the end" because it was the longest song he could think of, so he felt he was cheating death out of an extra 10-15 minutes by picking such a long song.
Also I have had a few people reply with this song, and don't remember their reply. For some people though reasons for picking a song may have a bunch to do with what is going on in their life right now, or what was going on in their life when they heard that song. Maybe the best time of their life, or their first kiss, or the first time they met their spouse "The End" was playing. Maybe "The End" was a favorite song of this guys spouse, best friend, sister, brother, or child. I believe that the memories that certain music brings us has way more importance than the lyrics, tune, or recording quality.
I personaly would like to listen to the Korn song "Pretty" (which sucks according to your OPINION) because it reminds me of the first concert I ever took my wife to, even though the song is about a dead rape victim, I associate the song with a happy time in my life. If I read the lyrics by themselves, yes they are sad and morbid, but for some reason I immediately associate the song with a happy time in my life and I think about those happy times more than disect the song.
If I am lying there about to die, I seriously doubt I am going to be trying to decipher lyrics, worry about the imaging and seperation of the speakers/headphones, tonal imperfections, recording problems, or bitrate at which these songs were encoded.
I posted the list to try to prove the point that music is a very personal thing and varied and different for everyone. There are way more out-there songs on that list if you want to go try and find the lyric sheets.
Music is important in different ways to different people.
