Who would like the Pink Floyd to play on their funeral? Sick, but interesting. What's, uh... the setlist?

first time I listened to WYWH all the way through par of the end of Shine On felt like/suggested images of people carrying a coffin - decided then I wanted that bit played at my funeral :-s

I would choose WYWH, but in a way it would be the most arrogant song you could possibally play.

I would choose BD/E personally, thought quite how apporopreate it is i'm not sure.

Shine on you crazy diamond and One of these days (this song never gets old, it’s a dirty, raw, bluesy heavy metal that could play in electronic festivals and the kids would certainly enjoy it).
As for Shine on, the guitar licks, the riffs, the lyrics, it’s all too beautiful.
I must mention have a cigar because of the lyrics. I saw an interview with one of the producers, he was telling how he wished he had written that part “the band is just fantastic … which one’s Pink”.
