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. ------------- My solo music: http://www.myspace.com/anthropiate - ANTHROPIATE |

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. ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |

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....... |

IF I'M GOING DOWN, I'M TAKING YOU ALL WITH ME!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA! ------------- The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe. http://www.last.fm/user/sbonfiglioli/?chartstyle=red">

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. ------------- "they locked up a man who wanted to rule the world. the fools they locked up the wrong man." - Leonard Cohen |

Renaissance - Ashes Are Burning (Live Version) Renaissance - Shining Where The Sun Has Been Blind Guardian - Mies Del Dolor and finally Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour
Yes the people will be confussed and wondering why my life seemed like such crap at the end based on ending song that I picked. |

I think Time table by Genesis has perfect lyrics for a funeral even
though I would pick something like a really annoying pop/dance/techno
song just to annoy everyone in there. They would feel obliged to stay
but they'd have to listen to the song. Mwahahaha

No, but I wasn't sure if it was appropriate... Some of these songs could be very personal, and it may be too much just for some internet forum... ------------- My solo music: http://www.myspace.com/anthropiate - ANTHROPIATE |

| Queen's Who Wants to Live Forever...absolutely beautiful vocals by guitarist Brian May as well as Freddie Mercury, not to mention powerful and fitting lyrics. |

Queen?? It's pathetic Wouldn't it be weird to play Only The Good Die Young by Iron Maiden ------------- yet you still have time! |
I meant full of pathos. Well for me it should be Childlike Faith In Childhood's End by Van Der Graaf Generator, for the mourners to console - A Way Out by Peter Hammill
