I was driving home from work last night listening to 'The Eternal' by Joy Division and couldn't help but think how perfect a funeral song it is.
I concluded I will have it played at my funeral followed by Rock & Roll by Gary Glitter and So What - the Metallica version.
Any thoughts on what the throng will bop to when you pop it?

I think we've had this before?, it's still Severance, Atmosphere and Last Exit For The Lost.
I would also have to consider Giest by LOUD or the theme tune from Jaws.

Ha, this is a perennial favourite amongst a bunch of old Goffs In Denial...
...I'm not a fan, but I think the Jam's "Going Underground" would be pretty good.

If I'm in a lofty mood when writing down my last will (not so likely): My Death - David Bowie
otherwise: Golden Brown - the Stranglers
... but shouldnt it be better a song that the funeral guests like (if there are any)? I can't hear it anymore anyway.

Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.

Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

I think we have to decide first whether we're going for "Celebration of Claire's Life" - it's what she would've wanted ( no it isn't! )...
...or dirgy misery and everyone crying into their drinks saying "We never realised her true greatness while she was alive..." etc etc.
The latter option is infinitely preferable , so...
Eyes Of Nature by SWANS, definitely.
I've always thought Lisa Gerrard's "Sanvean" would be beautiful played at a funeral.
I'd have to some Banshees and some Sisters, any tracks would do quite frankly.
And that's a top choice from Libby and Keef with "The Host Of Seraphim"and "Severance".

well I'm a bit busy at the moment, but if I ever get round to dying then possibly 'under the milkyway' by the church would be nice.

I'll force the funeral guests to sing along to the soundtrack. As opposed to hymns. And with that in mind:
The Trashmen - Surfin' Bird
Outcasts - Mania
James Rays Gangwar - Either Cadillac Coming or Blue Lover

And In The Eyes Of Nature
We Could Never Have Been Born
And The Light That Surrounds Us
Will Take Us Into It's Arms
And When We Die We'll Disappear
Into The Eyes Of Nature
And We're Here Just For A Little While
And Then Our Body Disappears
Into The Eyes Of Nature
Into The Arms Of God
Into The Mouth Of Indifference
Into The Eyes Of Nature
And We Are Nothing But Experience
In The Eyes Of Nature
And We Will Live Forever
In The Eyes Of Nature
(annoying, those capitals, innit? but I couldn't be arsed changing them)
Seems like both our pop-yer-clogs playlists are the same.
Well, Libs, if we're both run over by a bus whilst crossing the road together at a future HL meet, Quiffles can organise us a double funeral...
HL can have a proper goff partay!

If I were to be cremated, it'd have to be 'Fire' by Arthur Brown.
Nice quiet church, the coffin enters the curtain to the furnace,
all of a sudden.............................................
'I AM THE GOD OF HELLFIRE, AND I BRING YOU.......FIRE!'
