The vicar who did my dads cremation said he had a family have the music 'Come on baby light my fire' at the cremation of their father.

I fancy having Where Were You by Jeff Beck, Terry Bozzio and Tony Hymas played at mine - it's just so good, so cool, yet somehow reflective and, if you're in the right mood, very emotional.

Also, isn't Angel's one of the most popular as the first dance at weddings too? A nice bit of ironic polarity there!

I can assure that if someone played the music of a one trick pony at my funeral theres every likelyhood of me getting out of the box and kicking their teeth in.
