In Holland you can pick three songs for your funeral. Now this thread may be just a tad morbid, but hey it is good to be prepared. You don't what some genius to start playing Cliff Richards for instance.

Which three would you pick?


last song: Strawberry fields forever ~ John Winston Lennon
middle song: Much against everyone's advice ~ Soulwax
First song: Blow up the outside world ~ Soundgarden
« 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......»

    First Song: Cant Touch This - Mc Hammer
    2nd: Funky Cold Madina(sp) - Tone Loc
    last: Its Oh So Quiet - Bjork :Djk jk jk

    the real three would be more like:

    1st: Seasons -Chris Cornell
    2nd: Off He Goes - Pearl Jam
    3rd: Birth Ritual - Soungarden

    Imagine the sound of Birth Ritual with a good sound system in a decent sized church whoa goose bumps.:)
    Can not be arsed with life no more.

    without giving too much thought about the subject:

    smile - pearl jam
    blur - tender
    the golden path - the chemical brothers

    This one does seem to fit the occasion;
    Its Oh So Quiet - Bjork

    If I were completely serious:
    1. Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (although I know he didn't write it)
    2. Pearl Jam - Wishlist
    3. Temple of the Dog - Say Hello to Heaven

    If I were less than completely serious, which is more likely:
    1. Pearl Jam - Alive (it might take 'em awhile to get it)
    2. N.W.A. - Fuck tha Police
    3. Quiet Riot - Cum On Feel the Noize
    The words you say never seem to live up to the ones inside your head...

    3) Don't Follow - Alice in Chains
    2) Off He Goes - Pearl Jam

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Depeche Mode - I feel you
    Deftones - Back to school

    The third one is difficult..
    definitely Pearl jam, maybe Light Years or Thumbing my way..

    Or to shock people, Limp Bizkit's Faith, so it ends with a bang!

    Alice in chains - down in a hole
    green day - good riddance (time of your life)
    pearl jam - man of the hour
    ...Pearl Jam, a group filled with pride, passion, and intricate musicianship. Their music is full of subtle textures, rich color, soul-searching power, imagery, and eerie dissonance.
