I'm dating my middle-aged ass here...but we have threads on "tunes" "movies" PLURAL...
But what if you could pin....dammit...one song....Just one...that epitomizes a certain "era", wedding or favorite memory....or..more significantly......like me...you would have played at your funeral.
Mine is "without you" by "harry nilsson" 1970

I don't know bro? :-\ That's a tough one...I love all kinds of music but I've always liked Jimmy Buffett and Bob Marley the best just because they make me feel good and put me in a relaxing mood. I've always liked Bob Marley's "One Love" song because the music is so relaxing in it and more importantly it's such a feel good song as far as people coming together. As far as my funeral I actually do have a song picked out for that which I have told the wife about. It's by Los Lonely Boys titled "Heaven." I love the message in it. It's not dark or sad it's just about knowing there is a better place and how you just can't wait to get there.

Hi Robmeister,
Ever since coming across it I always thought I'd like "The Joy Of Living", sung by Roy Bailey, played at my funeral - it's a really great song originally written by Ewan MacColl but Roy Bailey's version is just awesome!
-

at least that's what our alterantive rock stations referred to it as!

Pink Floyd..."Wish You Were Here", or "Hey You" @c3

Too hard to pick just 1 song:
What a Wonderful World - Louie Armstrong
Outta Here - Kenny Chesney
Four Horsemen - Metallica
Come Monday - Jimmy Buffett
Los Cabos - The Rippingtons
Luck be a Lady - Frank Sinatra
Mainstreet - Bob Seger
Yeah, that's my favorite song.
-
Man what a tough question. I'll list songs that mean allot to me. They were probably my favorite song when something big/emotional was going on in my life.
I would say, performer first, then song.
1. Peter Gabriel, Come Talk to Me
2. Peter Gabriel, In Your Eyes (played at my wedding).
3. New Order, Blue Monday (off of either Low Life or Power, Corruption, and Lies)
4. Duran Duran, New Religion
5. Duran Duran, The Seventh Stranger
I think I can make a better list via albums:
1. Peter Gabriel, US -- I think it's the worlds all time best album. It is very introspective. Also, for me, it's both sad and uplifting. I've had amazing journeys with this tape.
2. Duran Duran, First self-titled album (I skipped prom, and went to the beach with this girl who had dropped out of another high school in town. We went to a Gay bar and danced the night away (Rich's in Houston, it was all the rage in 1985-86-- amazing in the "new music" scene). After it closed that night, we drove a hour to the beach. We only had this tape, so we just kept playing it over and over all night long. It was cold, so we put the windows down and turned up the heater in the car. We stayed out all night and walked along the sand. In the morning when I took her home, I took her to her brother's apartment so her mom wouldn't know that she had been out all night with a guy).
Lately, I've been listening to allot of Aimee Mann. I've seen her twice. I've seen Peter Gabriel twice and Duran Duran once.

Right now, for me it would be either Deep Purple's "The Battle Rages On" or Queen's "The Show Must Go On"
Love both songs and their meanings......
-
Very very hard to choose. I'd have to say YESTERDAY is my favorite, perfectly composed and performed song ever.
-
Thats one of my favorite lines in the song Tyler, along with, "they stab it with the steely knives but they just cant kill the beast"
-
well from my wedding "Pour some sugar on me" by Def Lepard played as I removed the garter.
To be played at my funeral I would have to say "Another bites the dust" by Queen. My family would understand due to my sense of humor

-
Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Zephyr Song
-
Not my all time favorite song, but definitely my funeral song.
PanterA - Floods
"Wash away us all, take us with the flood.."
-
just thought of a possible funeral song -
Hurt.....the Johnny Cash version....
-
Allow me to wave my redneck flag with pride and name "Freebird" by Skynyrd as the perfect funeral song. That song also takes me back to my first concert when I was 16 and surrounded by huge biker dudes while Skynyrd played Freebird and I just stood against the fence and watched. It was great.

Jeffrey, you do realize that Freebird is older than you? Not that there is anything wrong with that. It just made me feel old because I remember when it first played on the radio. *!d

Boston - More Than a Feeling

Yes, indeed. I do realize that Freebird is older than me. Most of the music I listen to is. I grew up listening to Skynyrd, the Allmans, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels, etc. Was nice that when I saw them live in 96 there were still several of the original band members playing. Leon Wilkerson was still alive and on bass. Gary Rosington was there (I think he's the only original left) and Billy Powell was still playing piano. Great concert. Paul Rogers from Free and Bad Company was the opening act.

I have a strange blend of music genres that I like including the southern rock groups you mentioned. I would probably throw .38 Special in that group although they came later. I also like Big Band music which is probably weird for someone my age but, oh well. I have a hard time getting into anything new these days unless it's jazz related.
-
Only 1 song? Has to be "Nightrain" by Guns N' Roses then. THE perfect rock 'n' roll song.
-
Ramble On - Led Zepplin
-
Mine is (are) pretty easy... But I can't narrow down to one...
Jimmy Buffett - Margaritaville, 5 O'clock Somewhere, Migration
Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World
Bob Marley - Stir It Up
Janice Joplin - Me and Bobbie McGee
Katrina and the Waves - Walking On Sunshine
-
My favorite Marley tune is Redemption Song.
Buffett is always good time music.
BaldRob, you should check out the Zac Brown Band. You've got to like a country sound a little but it's really good. It's probably what Buffett would have sounded like if he were from Georgia.

Huh? If you're going to pick an 80's tune with a female singer, at least get someone hot like Suzanna Hoff (Bangles).

He's got a great tune and groove. I think I'll spend some of my iTunes card that I got for my birthday buying his music.

BigJeffrey, if you like Zac Brown, you should check out Eric Squindo (http://myspace.com/ericsquindo (http://myspace.com/ericsquindo)).

If you want a "pick me up" song, why not "Boat Drinks"?
