What prog song would you want at your funeral?

Are you sure you won´t heart it?

There is only 1 song in my mind - The End by the Doors.

Big Sleep and Somebody Up There Likes You by Simple Minds from their New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84) album.

I hadn't thought about a funeral song but I do have a multi-hour long playlist that I want played in my hospital should I ever go into a persistent vegetative state. It's primarily composed of optimistic and hopeful songs with a tinge of bitterness. Then the final song is "Supper's Ready" and the plug gets pulled at the climax coinciding with the sunrise of the day (provided there isn't sufficient cloud cover to obscure the view of the sun). We were told everyone should have a living will in one of my classes last semester so I had a bit of fun with it.   I don't care if this is a joke or not, this is easily the most epic thing I've read in quite some time. I got a chill down my spine thinking about the sun rising while hearing "a new Jerusaleeeeeemmm..."

Completely serious about it and I'm quite pleased with my living will.

Appreciation probably won't be one of the overwhelming feelings if you make everyone listen to Amarok although they'll definitely remember it.
Also, get Amarok. It should be at the top of your purchase queue. I cannot recommend it enough.

Golden Brown is indeed a lovely song - but tis said it is about Heroin

Maybe King Crimson's Starless?  OK, so the second and third parts aren't really that appropriate to the situation, but hopefully the first part would have scared off most of the bystanders.
