Would probably add Fear Factory's Pisschrist to this also. What a tune!

[Taom]

Our Lady Peace - 4am
Black Label Society - Killing Time
Lenard Skynard - Freebird
My Chemical Romance - The Ghosts of You

and last but not least
ICP - Under The Moon
ICP - Nothing Left

[why?]

Some kind of unusefull poll for me, as I will donate my organs and then will be burnt, so there's no sense how can some ashes could listen to some nice lyrics... but let's play on it:

1) The Clash - Straight to Hell
(while they're digging on it)
2) Vera Lynch - Pink Floyd
(during the few seconds I will realize they've taken everything from me)
3) But Not Tonight - Depeche Mode
(while I felt empty for the last time)
4) Siamese Twins - The Cure
(Just on darkness)
5) The End - The Doors
(Just on fire)

why?

why?

cause you're at least a little pretentious? Kudos on "Straight to Hell" by the Clash, though. Probably their best song

[Carpe Noctem]

I think the only song I would want played is "Free bird". I couldn't think of anything better.

[sinistar]

It's not a favorite song of mine, but now I always associate it with one of my favorite author's, Hunter S. Thompson, because it's used in two documentaries on him.
