What song do you want played at your funeral?

[Rosbjerg]

Yesterday with The Beatles

 

Ugh. Beatles. Or is this a pun?

 

just roll with it.

Strawberry Fields Forever would be kinda awesome

[samm]

I wonder what kind of an effect Helter Skelter would have at a funeral.

Sure! Also, I'd throw in a little Tomorrow Never Knows for shere awesomeness. Let'em enjoy the funeral with rock and a good trip

[Walsingham]

I just mean, it's generic, really. I'd prefer Hocus Pocus.

[Musopticon?]

Surely don't mean Hocus Pocus...from Focus?

[Gorgon]

I wonder how the priest would react to some vintage slayer.

That would be so cool. Just like Revolution #9.

Damn straight!

[Bartimaeus]

 

Most certainly that. I want people to be afraid on my funeral. Then, they will regret every single bad thing they've done to me. :D

Oh my god how stupid I can be.

 

OF COURSE the pick would be The Great Gig In The Sky, by far best song WRITTEN about death.

 

One of the best piano chord progression in rock music but above all the unimaginable power and sadness of Clare Torry's shrieking.

 

And I am not frightened of dying. Any time will do; I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it

[Walsingham]

I know it's derailing, slightly, but I want my mate who does some composing to set The Last Hero by GK Chesterton to music. That would rule. He did La Belle Damme Sans Merci a while back and it's really creepy.

for the record that was the song alongside Money that sparked my interest in Pink Floyd

 

Yes! you are totally right.. I saw Roger Waters perform this live in 2006. Damn that was one of the most beatiful concerts I've ever attended.

[Xard]

*is very jealous*

 

Last time Roger was in Finland was back in 2001, way before I had even heard of Pink Floyd

 

Gilmour didn't visit here at all (minus TDB tour in 1994)

 

 

The Great Gig in the Sky has best piano chords ever in popular music. They are rather unusual for rock/pop music usage of piano.

Brainwave:

 

Saturday Night, by Whigfield.

 

To remind the mourners that there are worse things than dying.

[Rosbjerg]

To redeem that horrible blight we released on the world, I have to forward a good Danish singer (band)

 

Kashmir with

- I really love that song.

[Hiro Protagonist]

Bill Haley of course.
