LOL I may have to rethink this. I wouldn't want to have to change my lifestyle to fit the lyrics of my buriel song.

1. Rhinoceros - Smashing Pumpkins (Not Prog I know but The Pumpkins to me have a lot of prog characteristics)
2. A Whiter Shade Of Pale - Procol Harum
3. The Cinema Show - Genesis
Out of those 3, I could'nt pick just one.

No idea, but I do know, if my father (who got me into music) is ever dying, I will play on guitar for him, then later at his funeral, "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" "This is the End" and "Wish you were here"

Lets make it a joyous funeral and play some Moon Safari

Either Watercolour Days by Clouds or In the Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson; I'll decide when I do my will!

Quote 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
  • Waiting for the Worms - Pink Floyd
  • ...
  • 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.
