Angels most popular funeral song Thousands of Britons say they would like Robbie Williams' song Angels played at their funeral.

The second most popular song is Frank Sinatra's My Way and third is Monty Python's Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

One in five Europeans choose Queen's The Show Must Go On. Their second favourite is Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven - with AC/DC's Highway to Hell coming third.

More than 45,000 adults across Europe were polled by digital TV channel Music Choice.

The majority of Italians and Spanish picked Mozart's Requiem and The Beatles' classic Let It Be reports The Sun.

The Danish chose Angels and U2's With Or Without You.

Simon George from Music Choice, said: "Music can be very personal, indeed it often helps create a sense of identity. Wanting to share your most treasured musical gem with those you are leaving behind is the perfect way to sign off and leave a lasting impression."

What song would you like at your funeral ?

I was considering Highway to Hell by ACDC.

 

Gato Barbieri and Carlos Santana's "Latin Lady".......but the name would be changed to "Latin Gato" in honor of me

 

Bathory - Raise the dead

 

...But at my funneral I whant everyone(maybe even myself) to here "Another one bites the dust".

 

I've considered "Ha Ha You're Dead" by Green Day, but I highly doubt anyone who cared would play it at my funeral. :''( So it'd most likely be something by Bright Eyes , 'cause I'm addicted at the minute. =|

 

Hmm I dont know....I like that Angel Standing by that Jewel Sings, But i dont want it to be a sad sappy funeral....so i'll have to think about it some more.

 

I would want them to play Eulogy, by TooL

 

highway to hell. i find that quite humerous

 

my friend who died last year of brain cancer had the songs "free" and "waste" by phish played at his funeral......

 

I would have a casual kind of funeral, and I'd get the guy leading it to play some heavy metal, and then say "oh, shit, wrong song" and then play always look on the bright side of life.

 

maybe "Particle Man" by They Might Be Giants.....


definitely "It's Alright Ma" by Bob Dylan!

and of course "Amazing Grace" which must be played on the Bagpipes

 

now i have the song "particle man" running through my head......

 

Bone Thugs N harmony - Cross Roads

 

Brokedown Palace...

 

"In My Time of Dying" by Led Zeppelin; "Knockin on Heaven's Door" by Bob Dylan; and "Peace Train" by Cat Stevens.

 

For me it would have to be Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird". I just heard the other day about a survey concerning this subject.The 4 most popular rock songs that were used for funerals,and this doesn't represent the order,1)Free Bird, 2)Stairway to Heaven,3)Highway to Hell,4) Funeral For A Friend.

 

Touch of Gray would be a nice funeral song, it's so full of hope

 

-Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell
-Into the West by Annie Lennox
-You Must Love Me by Madonna (might be a bit too desperate)

 

I think "In Formaldahyde" by Porcupine Tree would be appropriate. Or maybe something off the Marillion Brave CD.

 

"see ya later alligator"
