You're dying...

[Malloy]

In reality, I'd probably spend the remainder of my life agonizing over which songs to pick. But just off the top of my head, here are five songs:

Billie Holiday- "I Cover the Waterfront"
Chopin's Nocturne op.9 no.2
Velvet Underground- "Pale Blue Eyes"
Rachmaninoff's piano concerto no. 2 - the whole concerto if I'm allowed. If not, just the adagio sostenuto.
Elvis Costello- "Days" (Kinks cover)-- I'd be okay with this being the last one. "Thank you for the days", exploding into a wash of guitar distortion.

this is a lovely list

[Soma.]

I will echo the enjoyment of "Days" closing that list out.

[LetMeSleep]

You know the Abbey Rd medley would be sweet.

[Lament]

All My Friends - LCD Soundsystem
Ooh Child - Beth Orton (not the original by the Spiral Staircase)
Door to the River - Manic Street Preachers
Stand By Me - Ben E. King
Asleep - The Smiths

[matt reeder]

1. Arcade Fire - Wake Up
2. The Beatles - In My Life
3. Smashing Pumpkins - Thirty-Three
4. R.E.M. - Man on the Moon
5. Sonic Youth - The Diamond Sea

[Lament]

4. R.E.M. - Man on the Moon

Fuck, that is an awesome choice.

[Heathen]

I've already thought about that and I came to the conclusion that the last song I want to hear is:

Agalloch - Our Fortress Is Burning I / Agalloch - Our Fortress Is Burning II: Bloodbirds / Agalloch - Our Fortress Is Burning III: The Grain (3 tracks but they're part of the same thing)

I try to listen to this before I have to take a plane or something like that. Just in case.

[Lament]

I need to swap out Ooh Child for With Arms Outstretched by Rilo Kiley.

[stip]

5. Concrete Blonde - Tomorrow Wendy
4. U2 - One Tree Hill
3. Mark Lanegan - All the Way Down
2. R.E.M. - Find the River
1. Pearl Jam - Alive

[Jorge]

The first five tracks of Now That's What I Call Music 1999.

[Strat]

1. Hold On - Tom Waits
2. Better Days - PJ's cover

RIP Strat

[Bob Loblaw]

I CAN'T DO THIS

[BurtReynolds]

Doug Getaway x5

[Rob]

1% of One - S. Malkmus & The Jicks
Listen, the Snow is Falling - Galaxie 500
Just a Habit - Built To Spill
Scenery - Neil Young
Porch (live) - Pearl Jam

[Norah]

One of them would be Rhapsody in Blue, for sure. Shit, that'd probably be the last one.

[zeb]

The Beatles - In My Life

This would be in my five.

[Bob Loblaw]

Pink Floyd - Echoes
Beatles - Abbey Road medley
Sigur Ros - Popplagið
Louis Armstrong - What a Beautiful World
Beethoven's 9th, or at least the third movement

No idea about the order, though.

[McParadigm]

Like, super ridiculously long.

[numbers]

Beatles- A Day In The Life
Rolling Stones- Gimme Shelter
The Who- Wont Get Fooled Again
Pearl Jam- Corduroy
CCR- I Heard It Through the Grapevine(not just because it's super long)

[Soma.]

But Marvin Gaye crushes that song so much harder.
