My mum has always wanted Van Morrison "Bright Side of the Road" at her funeral and when i was younger I used to always think she wanted that Monty python song! The Life of Brian is hilarious!

What the hell is this bloody funeral talk? My dad has always told my sis and I that he wants "Hotel California" played at his, it's too fucking morbid to think about.

Cause its not gunna happen? Get over it man, we'll all die one day.

 

[Aaron1911]

Lionel Richie: Sail On

Heard it when I was eight years old...very addictive.

Also: RHCP - Under the Bridge
Also: Beta Band - Dry the Rain

I've heard a few of his songs, and they're quite good.. Been meaning to acquire Dream Letter;Live In London 1968, Happy/Sad and Starsailor (If it wasn't out of print.. :X) My favourite songs of his are probably;

-Dream Letter
-Pleasant Street (Especially the live medley with You Keep Me Hangin' On on Dream Letter:Live In London 1968 )
-Once I Was.
-Song To The Siren
-Starsailor (This song sounds like nothing else I've heard.. It's 16 tracks of Buckley's voice making a scary choir-like sound.. Unique, in a good way.)

What would yours be?

 

[Mojoman]

ive only heard postcards from LA, i like nighthawkin', get on top of me and sweet surrender.. not heard much
he is good though.. i must get more

Talking of wedding songs, I waitress at a wedding function centre. Absolutely EVERYONE either uses Lonestar's 'Amazed', Shania Twain's 'From This Moment' or 'Come What May' from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack for their wedding dances.
So not original!
