If you die, after seeing the ROTS premiere of course, what 10 songs do you want your family to mourn your passing or celebrate your life??

10 songs?!  They usually only play one or two at a funeral.  I definitely couldn't pick 10.  Hell, I can't even think of one at this point, so I'll have to ponder this a little longer...

That'd be awesome if John Williams had an orchestra play some Star Wars melodies for me (although I'd rather see him Live than have him play for me Dead)... I'd want him to do a handful of good tunes from the Saga... I could name more than 10.

On top of that...

'Goin' to California' by Led Zeppelin
'In My Time of Dying' by Led Zeppelin

Sad wings of Destiny - Judas Priest

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd



Highway to Hell is probably not appropriate ;)


edit: dang, got the title wrong in first song.  Haven't had this conversation in 20 years.

I can't think of ten, but I do have a couple of songs in mind:

Off He Goes- Pearl Jam
Given To Fly- Pearl Jam

Let's see...

10. Clair De Lune- Claude de Bussy
9. Lucky Man- ELP
8. Last Crusade- John Williams
7. Take a Picture- Filter
6. I've Had The Time Of My Life- Who did that?
5. In My Life- The Beatles
4. The End- Paul Haslinger
3. Dream On (perhaps) - Aerosmith
2. TPM Track 16
1. The Space Between - Zero 7

I'm sure there are many more to think of...both orthodox and unconventional.

Good thread, I will think about it...

Probably some good 'ol country music.  Little bit of George Strait, Garth Brooks, Alabama, Alan Jackson, Toby Keith...

The entire London cast album of "Les Misérables" -- it's just so tragic. 

"Luke and Leia" from "Return of the Jedi" -- it always makes me cry.

That's all I can think of now.

The timing on this is weird since I just got back from my neighbors funeral. She died the day after her 80th birthday (on mothers day.) One of the songs she had wanted played (and it was) was Bruce Springsteins "My Home Town." The other was a pre-Judi Garland version of "Over The Rainbow."

I myself would freature the song "Undertow" by Genesis. It's a song about standing up tall when things are looking down. It's one of my favorates.

I've had this planned out since the first time I took a butterknife to my wrists at age 8 (although it's changed around and gotten some new additions as warranted):

I will have no speakers or eulogies or anything, just my body in an inverted casket, with these songs in this order:

10: The Humpty Dance, by The Digital Underground
9: I Love You, by Sarah McLesbian
8: Ghostbusters, by Ray Parker, Jr.
7: Institutionalized, by Suicidal Tendencies
6: Piece of Crap, by Neil Young
5: Rock is Dead, by Marilyn Manson
4: Dust in the Wind, by Kansas
3: We Are the World, by USA for Africa
2: Good Vibrations, by the Beach Boys
1: **** the Pain Away, by Peaches
