Lucky Man by ELP for obvious reasons, plus I plan to die in battle (a pike finds my heart after penetrating my hauberk durning a cavalry charge on the enemy's right flank. Fortunately for me, it's a quick death. Yes, I know I'm wierd ).   

And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying.

Watermelon in Easter Hay - Frank Zappa (I read somewhere that they played this at Franks funeral. If it's good enough for Frank, it's good enough for me.)

Maggot Brain - Funkadelic (Before recording Eddie Hazel was asked to play as if his mother had just died. Breathtaking results.)

Journey's End from Grave New World By Strawbs

Cold is Being by Renaissance

and quite seriously, the song I AM using at my funeral, Running to the Light by Runrig from their brilliant Stamping Ground album (which none of you will have heard of, I suspect, because they're not a prog band). However, I hope not for a while yet!!!!

Dusk by Genesis ("Never to recall this passerby, born to die).

Or, not prog, but for humor, how about The Worms (The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out - this song is the primary reason I will be cremated when I die).

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Of course, if I wanted to annoy people, I'd prefer Danzig's Black Aria.

super furry animals - a really trippy happy song, gruff sings it so positively.. yet the lyrics are "you deserve to die!"


the jam - going underground
queen - another one bites the dust
rage against the machine - sleep now in the fire (if its a cremation)

apparently the most common funeral rock song to be played is metallica - nothing else matters

Yeah, but what song would you want others to hear?

And yes, dead people can hear; the spirit of music carries even into the eternities....

I can't recall what i said before, but now i will say: Weasels Ripped My Flesh by FZ. This would ensure a quick service as it will cause almost everyone to run from the room
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

King Crimson's EPITAPH maybe?
...But my dreams are for dreaming and best left that way-and my zero to your power of ten equals nothing at all...
