Your go-to music album..

[albion]

Yup, Wish You Were Here does seem to be near top of the coffin charts.

Funeral Pyre does not get a look in. Can't imagine why.

 

[Chescadence]

I must say, I listen to a Levellers album almost daily too, either:

Levelling the land, A weapon Called the word, Zeitgest or Mouth to mouth usually.

well in this case it was mainly because we used to play it every friday noght after the pub, so more a tradition than a standard funeral default.

my wife has my list for my funeral:

fire by arthur brown if she cremates me
going underground by the jam if i get buried
dance on Your grave for both

 

[Chescadence]

I've got far too many albums to single out just one, but this gets played a bit more than average

I like this- reminds me a bit of Pearl Jam's mellower stuff, nothingman, better man, daughter etc.

 

[Primal Scream]

I my case "Best years of our lives" from Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel takes me to a happy place. I was in my early twenties when this came out and it was the sound track of a summer spent in Cornwall, good friends, new friends, great girls, parties all night on the beach, great pubs and clubs and two months of good weather.

If I listen to it now it can sometimes push me into melancholy remembering great times but knowing good times of today will never have the freshness and energy of those days of living the life with no responsibility.

And so it should - members are from Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and Screaming Trees - the best of Seattle. Rumour has it that Mike McCready is planning on a 2nd album, with Mark Lannegan doing vocals

Steve used to help his dad out delivering milk to me when I was at my parents.
And while I'm name dropping, Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead once passed me a rather evil spliff when I was onstage.

Like Marshmallow Fluff, I find Miles Davis' Kind of Blue has been a long standing 'go to' album late in the evening.

Thanks for that,

Even at 62 I still go to a lot of gigs, I have seen Steve a lot over the years and I have never been disappointed.

Upcoming gigs are "Primal Scream" of course at the teenage cancer trust performance and Neil Young.
