If it were today, my pick would be, “All I Need” by Radiohead

I would just want to be laying with somebody I loved. This song really speaks to that need for human connection. We’ve really messed up this world. It would be nice at the end to feel loved unconditionally, and uplifted by the end to our suffering, with the hopes for a new start.

i change my mind.
definitely “When the Music’s Over” by the Doors.

“Gravedigger” - Dave Matthews Band

I would pick “(I can’t get no) Satisfaction”, because the world will be ending and I’ll never get any satisfaction when I’m dead.

Easy.
“Raining Blood” Slayer

rock’n’ roll suicide by david bowie.

I have a few for this one:

1) Funeral for a Friend-EJ
2) Stairway to Heaven-ZEP
3) One Last Breath-CREED

gaddammit, motion picture is already taken

hmmm

Storm: Levez Vos Skinny Fists Comme Antennas to Heaven; Gathering …(second movement)- godspeed you! black emperor. id like to go out epic-like

Bob Dylan´s “Death Is Not The End” by Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Shane McGowan, Kylie Minogue, Thomas Wydler, Anita Lane & Blixa Bargeld.
Just remember!

Comfortably Numb

“This is radio clash” the clash
“A comet appears” the shins
“Anarchy in the u.k” sex pistols
“Breed” nirvana
“Mono” hole
“World wide suicide” peal jam

Best list ever

earth died screaming - Tom Waits
Just about any Joy Division song

Good call on the Jesus of Suburbia, J. That would be mine too.

reigning blood, I want to be prepared for hell or pumped for heaven.

Lots of dirty music before that because well I’m getting filthy.

elliot smith, beatles, jimi hendrix when it all goes down

Dukes of Stratosphear - “Pale and Precious”

“The End” by The Doors

No, seriously, it would probably be “The End” by The Doors

Billy Ray Cirus - “Achy Breaky Heart”
-OR-
Caetano Veloso - “Tropicalia”

I want to go out smiling. Life is such an uphill climb that at the end you might as well grab a sled and go on one last joyous ride. Mine would be Lou Reed’s “Street Hassle”. Dark, but there’s so much beauty. Sha la la la la.

Tom Waits - “Everything Goes to Hell”

“You guys on this list have TERRIBLE taste in music.”

he then follows up that comment by recommending neil diamond, barry manilow and good charlotte. i hope you are joking, otherwise you are the biggest tool ever.

i would definetly go brain damage/eclipse. or maybe as the world is collapsing around me, have mr tambourine man play one last time. thats pretty epic.

Tool - Aenima

Two Suns In The Sunset by Pink Floyd, from the tragically under-appreciated Final Cut

This may sound bad, but why would I want to spend my last three and a half minutes listening to a song when I could do something more enjoyable like say, giving my loved ones my love, drinking a beer or having sex.

The Humpty Dance

The Tourist - Radiohead
Let it Bleed - The Rolling Stones
A Day in the Life - The Beatles

And fuckin’ A for recognizing the Pixies (even though I’d take ‘Nimrod’s Son’ over your choice).

atom heart mother suite by pink floyd.

i know that it’s like 20 minutes long, but seriously, if there is any music that is end of the world music, it’s atom heart mother.

I’m gonna extend that 3.5 minutes to 17.5 minutes and go with “Sister Ray”

What, you mean nobody’s going to play “Tell Me When to Go” by E-40?!!

But seriously, that’ s a tough question that I’ve thought about numerous times….what would be the song I basically die to? (Unless I miraculously sprout wings and fly away from this hell hole)

I’ll go with:
1. “Blood on the Motorway”- DJ Shadow
2. “Harrowdown Hill” by Thom Yorke
3. “Dayvan Cowboy”- Boards of Canada
4. A toss up between “Punch up at a Wedding” or “Life in a Glass House”- Radiohead
5. A little “Satisfaction” by Benny Benassi…Who cares about going out with bang, Let’s go out with a rave!

The Flaming Lips - “They Punctured My Yolk”

Eve of destruction. Duh.

fearless- pink floyd

one more hour- sleater-kinney

desolation row- bob dylan

dock of a bay- otis redding

everything in its right place- radiohead

Maybe Amazing Grace and/or Nearer my God to thee as well. (rock just doesn’t have the same End of the World effect as hymns…)

Jackson Browne–The Pretender

I can’t believe nobody’s said
“Rockin’ into the Night” by the .38 Specials. You guys on this list have TERRIBLE taste in music.

If you want some good music for your last night on earth, here are some starters:

Kansas - All I wanted

Jason Mraz - Wordplay

Barry Manilow - Somewhere in the Night

Neil Diamond - I Am… I Said

And Definitely Falling Away by Good Charlotte

Bad Days - Flaming Lips

What no “Say Hello 2 Heaven” by Temple of the Dog?

but it would definitely have to be
Great Gig in the Sky by Pink Floyd
no doubt about it

Let Down - Radiohead

no question

“Take the Long Way Home” - Supertramp

“Sleep’s Dark and Silent Gate” = Jackson Browne

the dark side of the moon… technically, it’s an album, but i guess it could qualify as a song too.

Svefn G Engla - sigur ros

The Stars Are Projectors- modest mouse

mogwai fear satan- mogwai

Jackie - Scott Walker

duh

“Stairway To Heaven” I mean, what else is there?

“Day in the Life”-The Beatles

“sheena is a punk rocker” by the ramones

They Won’t Go When I Go by Stevie Wonder

AND

Power of Thy Sword by Manowar (just to laugh my ass off when the world is falling apart around me).

I guess it’s a good thing none of us saw ‘Fight Club’. Who is this lady?!

“Pyramid Song” - Radiohead

Truckin- The Dead

Jesus of Suburbia- Green Day

in my final HOURS i’d listen to In Utero, Zeppelin IV and Dark side of the moon…All Apologies, stairway to heaven and time are good songs to go out with…also time permitted, the end by the doors

The end-THE DOORS
Stairway to heaven-LED ZEP

Rilo Kilo “Arms Outstretched”

“What a wonderful world”-performed by Louis Armstrong.

I hope that the last day on earth is a nice spring day.

Cheesey obvious, “the end” - the doors or “how it ends” - devotchka.

Fight Club already did that.

Its the end of the world as we know it - R.E.M

Insanely obvious.

the great gig in the sky by pink floyd

as well as “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” by Dylan

“Quicksand” by David Bowie

“It’s The Plan” by Math The Band

“Monkey Gone To Heaven” by the Pixies

“Always Look on the Sunny Side of Life” off Monty Python’s Life of Brian Soundtrack

“A Day In The Life” the Beatles

“Somewhere OVer the Rainbow” Wizard of Oz soundtrack

“The Passenger” by Iggy Pop

“One Chance” by Modest Mouse

“Across The Universe” but as lame is it is I’d choose the Fionna Apple version

any of those… idk “where is my mind” during apocolypse kind’ve seems cheesy considering its also what plays during the credits to Fight Club… though the song is now forever immortalized because of that movie.

“As” by Stevie Wonder, or
“In A Silent Way” Miles Davis

i cant believe no ones mention “Its the end of the world as we know it” - R.E.M.

Planet Telex - Radiohead

“Don’t Worry Be Happy” - Bobby McFerrin

Nine Inch Nails - Zero-Sum

Last Goodbye - Buckley

You know, I think I’d have to go with Tool’s “Sober.”

hmmm good topic….i would say..
stairway to heaven- led zep or
pink floyd-dark side of the moon

love em love em

The Evil That Men Do - Maiden… cause I’m sure it would be our fault.

The Great Gig In The Sky by Pink Floyd

Hells Bells, by AC/DC. Perfectly fitting.

Marc Almond - Come in sweet assassin

Either version of “Junco Partner” by the Clash or James Booker. The end lyrics are about the best things to do before you die.

godspeedyoublackemperor is the best band for the end of the world, which is coming dec 23, 2012. I would listen to them while partying then listen to nick drakes pink moon album like i have for the last 6/7 years every night before bed…just in case I do die…it can be said I died listening to the greatest album of all time

Tom Waits - “Come On Up to the House”

“Motion Picture Soundtrack” - Radiohead, from “Kid A”

Although I’d need 7 minutes for that.
