Prog song for your funeral

id like to think prog works better for later birthdays, rather than death.

Like at my 40th, throw on some Brave New World by Barclay James...thatd touch me

ANything sentimental, though, it all differs, like something like all of In Search of the Lost CHord, an album i heard as a child and loved...forgotten for over 10 years to be unearthed by my 18 year old self and open my life to prog once again.

Play that whole album for me, and everything else!

I dont like to feel sad when people die, i like to feel glad they lived and celebrate!  BLAST ME SOME SIBERIAN KHATRU PLEASE!!!!!!!! YEYAHH!!!

I would choose Pink Floyd's "Atom Heart Mother". Not the whole album but the 20 minute epic song. Either that, "Close to the Edge", or "The Revealing Science of God" (both by Yes if you didn't know). I think AHM would be bad ass!

Death does suck ass.  Even more than life does.  But for my song I'd want one of the following:

Genesis-Dusk "Never to recall this passerby, born to die"

Or even better:

Monty Python-Always Look on the Bright Side of Life; or,

Meatloaf-Paradise By the Dashboard Light (This is a perennial wedding song; I think it's time it was made into a funeral song, at least if it's played at my funeral, I won't have to hear it); or,

back to being serious once more:  VDGG-Childlike Faith in Childhood's End.
