Monty Python's "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life" and "Galaxy Song" Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" I know someone joked about it but I really want to add Green Day's "Good Riddence". Seriously, I heard this at a funeral and I've never listened to it the same after that: "It's something upredictable but in the end it's right I hope you've had the time of your life" Friends of mine know this speaks volumes about me. |

I say lock the doors and hit the b*****ds with "Close to the Edge," "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers," "Karn Evil 9", the entire "Larks' Tongues in Aspic" album, Frank Zappa's "200 Motels," and Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring," all at full blast. IF I'M GOING DOWN, I'M TAKING YOU ALL WITH ME!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA! |

King Crimson - Epitaph (a sad song which fit perfectly for funeral) PFM - Appena un po (wow...this song brings me to heaven !) Genesis - Seven Stones (powerful song...the chorus is so amazing...represent me well) Genesis - Dancing/can-utility (except Supper's ready, two of the greatest songs by my favorite band)
So many more....... |

In another similar thread I wrote: "Alan's psychedelic breakfast", especially the part 'Rise and shine', maybe I should rise, then. Now seriously, I'd prefer Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez - Adagio" or Wagner's "Liebstod für Tristan und Isolde". But I have no idea of what my people would prepare for my farewell. |

But it's YOUR funeral, not theirs. If you are a true Prog fan and the music means alot to you, then playing it at your funeral would represent your life - not theirs. Whether they like it or not, it doesn't matter. |
