    A bit of a morbid topic maybe but something worth thinking about. If you could only choose one song to play at your own funeral and/or reception which would it be? If you can, say why. Mine would be Ace of Spades. Preferably live - even if by then it would be a Motorhead tribute band. I just think that as well as being an excellent song it would sum up the occasion perfectly. I'd rather go to hell on a good note than some old-fashioned hymn that no one can sing properly.

                      Song 2 by Blur. Not for the lyrics. Not for the meaning. Not for the significance. Just because it's a flipping good track.

                                I wonder what Freddy Mercury would have thought about Queen coming up so often as funeral music in such a random group of people.

                                        A bit of a morbid topic maybe but something worth thinking about. If you could only choose one song to play at your own funeral and/or reception which would it be? If you can, say why. Mine would be Ace of Spades. Preferably live - even if by then it would be a Motorhead tribute band. I just think that as well as being an excellent song it would sum up the occasion perfectly. I'd rather go to hell on a good note than some old-fashioned hymn that no one can sing properly.

                                          Sadly, now that I think about it, my wife has been playing Weezer - The Good Life - which will probably kick at my funeral (hopefully, a few light years away, but you can never be certain)...:laugh:
