Soon on Relayer (Yes) for its poignant, yet sophisticated nature, and really the lyrics are so apropos
something sweet yet not cheesy is in order here

King Crimson-Starless

A lot of music from Rush and Genesis

Other than that I would also play some metal (mostly Death and Cynic)


Would you like some Bailey's?

Thought of a few suggestions in a last posthumous attempt to get my surviving relatives into prog, as a last gift:
 
  • Goodbye Cruel World - Pink Floyd
  • Think of Me with Kindness - Gentle Giant
  • Long Live man Dead - Gnidrolog
  • Going Under - Marillion
  • Nine Feet Underground - Caravan
  • ...
  • Reunion - Gentle Giant (in case I survive some loved ones)
  • When I Arise - Snowy White

No need to say that the setlist is not yet complete. I hope that I live long enough to add some good and fitting prog yet.

Oh...and one more.
 
"Soliloquy/Grand Finale" from Rush's "2112".  Somehow, the lines "My spirits are low, in the depths of despair; my life blood, spills over..." seem wholly apropos.Wink

Probably "Have You Heard/The Voyage" by the Moody Blues.

I think "Don't Try So Hard" by Queen. Has a nice message and it's off one of their proggiest albums. 

If you're searching out for something
Don't try so hard
If you're feeling kinda nothing
Don't try so hard
When your problems seem like mountains
You feel the need to find some answers
You can leave it for another day
Don't try so hard

But if you fall and take a tumble it won't be far
If you fail you mustn't grumble
Thank your lucky stars
Just savour every mouthful
And treasure every moment
When the storms are raging round you
Stay right where you are

Oh don't try so hard
Oh don't take it all to heart
It's only fools they make these rules
Don't try so hard

One day you'll be a sergeant major
Oh you'll be so proud
Screaming out your bloody orders
Hey but not too loud
Polish all your shiny buttons
Dress as lamb instead of mutton
But you never had to try to stand out from the crowd

Oh what a beautiful world
This is the life for me
Oh what a beautiful world
It's the simple life for me

Oh don't try so hard
Oh don't take it all to heart
It's only fools - they make these rules
Don't try so hard
Don't try so hard
Don't try so hard

Definitely a message I'd want to leave people with. 
Heaven's made a cesspool of us all.
