Exactly. Like those goofy metal pieces that barely classify as songs and go for a few hours each. Five of those.

ok. by "dying", i don't mean you will die within the length of 5 songs... but your last 5 songs you want to hear before exiting this world.

I think "5 songs desert island go" would work a bit better.

Meh, I don't like the desert island thing, bc then you think, "Oh man, only 5 songs I can listen to forever, I'm gonna hate them all after a while"... this way, you just get one last listen.

Alright I'll play ball.

The Beatles - Within You Without You
Ween - The Argus
The Cure - Plainsong
Smashing Pumpkins - Soma
Nine Inch Nails - A Warm Place, shuffling off as it finishes.

I could live with that.

Depends on how i'm dying. Hopefully Bon Jovi's Blaze of Glory will be perfect for the occasion.

edit: no, lets face it. any occasion is perfect for Blaze of Glory.

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.

Maybe Gorecki's No 3. Just to drag shit out a bit.

Days is my choice of funeral song. I'll probably end up getting the Circle of Life from the Lion King though.

I'll probably request Mambo #5 at my funeral. But that's a different thread altogether.

Blackbird (The Beatles) - I sing this to my kids
I'll Fly Away (Hymn) - played at the funerals of my grandfather and grandmother
The Tracks of My Tears (Smokey Robinson) - my mom's favorite song
Just Like Heaven (The Cure) - the wife and I dance to this
Dirt in the Ground (Tom Waits) - my siblings thwarted my efforts to play this at my dad's funeral
