Dead People Have Crappy Taste in Music

"In My Life" by The Beatles...also, I want everyone to feel free to get up and say something about me, anything that's on their minds. Anything from "That son of a bitch died owing me $50!" to "He was the best lover I ever had". I hate how after someone dies, all of the sudden, they become the greatest person ever. I want people to say the same shit about me when I'm dead as they do now.

 

Mine would be "The Parting Glass" from the movie "Waking Ned Devine"..

 

Depending on the circumstances of my death, it would either be "The Famous Final Scene" by Bob Seger or "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life." from Monty Python's Life of Brian.

 

Amen, tyler, amen. I hate walking into funerals and hear that s/he was "the best [fill-in-the-blanks]."

If I was a bum to you, just say that I wasn't kind to you. But I will respect you for showing up and supporting my family, regardless how good or bad I was.

 

Some movie already did it -- The Big Chill maybe? -- but I'd take Presence Of The Lord by Blind Faith. Rocks out and is elegant all at once, and Eric Clapton's guitar playing over the last verse is the most mind-blowingly beautiful guitar work ever.

But that's taken, so I'd do Mott The Hoople's Rest In Peace.

 

The Bill Chill had "You can't always get what you want" by the Rollings Stones.

 

"We Said Hello Goodbye" by Phil Collins

A fitting track for the occasion ... by a British man, no less.

 

One of my best friends had ripple played at their funeral. great call inky.

 

Steam's Hey Hey Goodbye

 

For me, Bob Dylan's "Death Is Not the End" (great cover version by Nick Cave with Shane McGowan, Polly Jean Harvey and Kylie Minogue that closes "Murder Ballads").

 

Damnit!!! I wanted to make the "The Big Chill" reference!!!

 

"Masters of the Universe" by Queen.

For there can be only one.

I am the one.
