This may sound very negative but which song would you play at the end of the world, a soundtrack to the apoalypse. Personally I would have Blackout by muse. It has a sort of calmness to it. ------------- You want the spoon? You can't handle the spoon! |

"Golden-Vein" from the Cocteau Twins "Twinlights" ep (possibly the most beautiful song ever) ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

"Fight Fire with Fire" by Metallica - or maybe "Battery" or "The Four Horsemen". Presuming it might last a little while, I'd probably add "Surf Nicaragua" by Sacred Reich, "Peace Sells - But Who's Buying" by Megadeth, "Angel of Death" by Slayer, and to finish off, ELP's first album (side 1). It might be a bit scary - but what a soundtrack.

At the end of the world: "Kyric", the first track of "Echoes", by Lacrimosa. Majestic sadness, and more sadness

All: Y'all must be forgetful: wouldn't Supper's Ready be the perfect thing, since the final section is actually taken from the Revelation, and is called "Apocalypse in 9/8?" Peace. |

A song from GYBE!'s 'Yanqui U.X.O.' - a bit sombre, yet filled with exquisite string arrangements. Lately it has become my fave GYBE! album, and I think this music conveys both the sadness of ultimately dying along with the Universe, and at the same time, a certain kind of " trascendental hope" for "better things" to come in a different outer dimension. |

There are many, as Maani said Supper's Ready is one of them, but my first choices are:

All of Muse's 'Absolution' album with Aphrodites Child The Four Horseman and ELP's Karn Evil 9 rounded off with Genesis 'Suppers Ready'(for the 'apocalypse section' of course!). It's a funny question really.Only prog fans would spend their last day on Earth listening to their ELP,Yes and Genesis albums rather than trying to get layed! |

The world is about to end, man! Fire and Brimstone time! The Beast, walking abroad. The Four Jockies of doom etc. I wanna see scantily clad nurses and puny little bald guys chasing the person responsible for it all (insert world leader of choice) around a field in fast-mo, to the sound of "Yackety Sax"! It's the tune I want played at my funeral, as the box slides through the curtains. (my daughter says "No Way!", but it's what I want.) ------------- Perception is truth, ergo opinion is fact. |

OK, if we must be relevant, (i.e. Suppers Ready, 4 horsemen, 666, etc.) then how about "Circus of Heaven", Yes. Not at all gloomy as end-of-the-world songs go. ------------- Perception is truth, ergo opinion is fact. |

To whoever mentioned them: My Dying Bride, excellent. But probably more suited to after the end of the world? lol I think I'd have to choose the end of some conceptual extreme metal album, where all the demons are unleashed or the character goes on a bloody rampage or whatever, say Emperor's "Thorns on my Grave". Or perhaps Rush's "Cygnus X-1, book 1" would be suited? The way it ends, certainly. Or to look a little further back: Danse Macabre, or Night on a Bare Mountain? |

Well, Supper's ready ain't that bad and Gates of Delirium would make another good choice but I guess I'd find myself together with my girlfriend listening to Rockpommel's Land (the complete album). Then world could end, but I hope we would find ourselfs within the vibrations of this record. ------------- she feels wind around her she feels a warming sun she feels some raindrops wet her leaves since that time she lost her griefs |
