Including any Stones songs if you want to, but don't have to (as any non-Stones songs are also fine), what'd be the top 5 (or even top 10 if you want) songs by title and name of performer or group, you'd most want to play from your iPod (connected to some excellent external speakers) at a party you'd have with some friends (if you had to have one), while the world was coming to an end ?

Maybe this: Work Me, Lord - Janis from Woodstock

... Or Gimme Shelter? Shine A Light? Hound Dog from Memphis?

The End - THE DOORS
When The Music's Over - THE DOOR
Five to One - THE DOORS
Is That All There Is? PJ HARVEY Version
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue - BOB DYLAN

....and then, when it was moments from the end and I was good and totally sh*tfaced and sobbing:

AMAZING GRACE

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

then....KA-BOOM and it would be all over....

ROCKMAN

Heaven

No, seriously, my first thought is Let It Loose: THE BEST EVER comforting song... But then, wouldn't it be great to die rocking to Bye Bye Johnny, with the image of MicknKeef belting it out together at the mike?

Jelle

gimme shelter is the ultimate "apocalypse-song" to me.

and if i want to end it in a dramatic and sad way it would be beethovens "moonlight sonata".
other choices "moonligh-mile", "i see a darkness" (bonnie prince billie) or back to black (amy winehouse).

or maybe i'd put on something heavy and sarcastic like turbonegro "f.uck the world"

Sympathy For The Devil... and hope for a nice place in Hell.

It's The End Of The World As We Know It - R.E.M.

We'll Meet Again...like in Dr Strangelove

>> you'd most want to play from your iPod <<

from my what?!
i would certainly hope to show both the music and the occasion more respect than that! :E

Living On A Prayer

The trauma of impending death and the fear of having Beelzebub and all his demons sticking hot pokers up my rectum for all eternity would be eased significantly with the pleasure of knowing that this would be the last time I ever have to be subjected to it.

Not from my i-pod, but roaring from my hi fi: "Wild Horses", of course. No doubt about it. There's only one tune for big occations like that. And if the neighbours got pissed because of the loud music (again), I'd play "SFTD" at max volume and shout: -See if I care, suckers!

"This World Can't Stand That Long"

Unless subjecting the inhabitants of hell to Bon Jovi records is a popular method of torture...

Peggy Lee's "Is That All There Is?" works for me.

Bye Bye Love

"No Anchovies, Please"

Till The Next Goodbye

"No Anchovies, Please"

"Enter the Gladiators"

It's the song you always hear at the start of a Circus..the big top theme

Well, I would sit back, light up and listen to this...

at the risk of sounding serious...

id want to hear what that (world end) sounded like actually....

does anyone need a heavy philosophical song moment when the whole joints coming down around yer ears?

enjoy it....it only happens once

well, since it ment only hearing it one last time and knowing that would end the existance of the song too...I would go with "Alice's Resturant"

Or to put a smile on my face, Frank Zappa's "The Adventures of Greggory Peckory"

Are you serious? Let It Loose? That's probably the most depressing, self-destructive song ever written by the Stones. And you think it's COMFORTING?

dance little sister

The End - by The Beatles
Hello I Love You - by The Doors
Purple Haze
Drink To Me, Drink To My Health, by Macca and Wings

and of course.... Gimme Shelter

Think I'd listen to Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Charles and cap it off with "Satisfaction."

the songs of sex, the sounds a woman makes when being f*c&ed really well.

the female orgasm, the best music on earth.

Kick Out The Jams? (MC5)

I would down a shot glass filled to the brim with LSD, jump out of a plane without a parachute at 50,000 ft (with a little bit of oxygen so I could make it through the trip down) and have my choice of a couple of songs:

- Cock In My Pocket - Stooges
- My Idea of Fun - Stooges
- Summertime Blues - The Black Keys
- Street Fighting Man (Brussels)
- Helter Skelter

or any gnarliness created by The White Stripes (Cannon, Death Letter, Red Bowling Ball Ruth, Stop Breaking Down, Little Bird, Blue Orchid, Black Math, etc.)

Man, Rubber Legs was a great album. In terms of intensity, it just about crushes everything, and it was only a rehearsal.

No More, No More - Aerosmith
In My Time of Dying - Led Zeppelin
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue - Dylan
Death Trip - Stooges
Morning Dew - The Dead
Don't Fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult

This is a great topic. I'm sure most of us could be entertained for hours mulling this over.
