Rolling Stone's Exclusive Funeral Mixtape

Voodoo Chile · 10-12-2006, 12:26 PM

Inspired by news that James Blunt's "Goodbye My Lover" is the song most requested to be played at people's funerals in the U.K., Rolling Stone asks you, their beloved readers, to provide them with a selection of your picks for that fateful day (hoping that in the process we'd be able to prove that we have way better musical taste than our British brethren.) They chose ten of the best suggestions so that we could bring you this exceptional mixtape. Till death do us party!
Listen to the whole Till Death Do Us Party mixtape

My funeral song would be either The Dead Flag Blues by Godspeed You! Black Emperor or Chapels by Genghis Tron.

Without a doubt, "Your Hand in Mine" by Explosions in the Sky. Probabbly the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

Freebird and Shine On You Crazy Dimond would be my two choices anyway

Followed by everyone taking acid and mellowing out to DSOTM. Now THAT is a funeral

After I get my parade through the streets with a full military tattoo band of course

I always loved the Beatles song "In My Life" from "Rubber Soul". The one that really caught me by surprise came during a scene in "Love Actually". Where Liam Neeson is telling a church full of people attending the funeral of his wife that he would let her say goodbye to them with the words from the Bay City Rollers "Bye Bye Baby". Not the song that I would ever think of when considering music to be played at a funeral.

One more cup of coffee - Bob Dylan

then leave me alone with my coffin and a 2 hour trance mix.

Can't top a good trance mix.
