So are these songs played at our own funeral or the last three songs we would want to hear before we die?
Funeral:
1. Something, anything by Led Zeppelin, probably "All My Love"
2. Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley
3. Something rockin, cuz if people are really at a service for me they would know I would want to listen to something rockin
Last songs I hear:
1. Again, anything Led Zeppelin
2. The End by the Doors
3. Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns by MLB
Natalie Merchant - Life Is Sweet
Pearl Jam - Light Years
10,000 Maniacs - Verdi Cries
Edit: I might change one of them for 99 Red Balloons by Nena. Don't know which one, though.
drivingrl: "Will I ever get to meet Gwen Stefani?"
kevinbeetle: "Yes. When her career washes up and her and Gavin move to Galveston, you will meet her at Hot Topic shopping for a Japanese cheerleader outfit.

Desolation Row is a great song for almost any occasion.
« One man's glory is another man's hell.
You’re on the outside, never bound by such a spell.
Together in the darkness, alone in the light.
I took it upon me to be yours, Timmy,
I’ll lead your angels and demons at play tonight......»
I thought of a good one: Lazarus Man by Terry Callier.
Never heard of it. sorry. Good title though.

The obvious choice would be "Alive", due to the chorus. But I'm not really shure the rest of the lyrics fits a funeral (not mine at least)
Other than that, I would pick "Immortality" and "Gorgeous" by the danish band Kashmir.
Not being a narcissist here, but having the line "the reverb you left is never over. Tolling for the only one who is not present " song at my funeral would be....uhm...killer

Some yes, not too much. Cool voice yet very typical. Not quite easy listening.
