death is such a drag!: some rockin' songs about death

Artist Song
metallica  fade to black 
joy division  atmosphere 
the shangri las   leader of the pack 
sean na na  princess and the pony 
the adverts  gary gilmore's eyes 
the blood brothers  jennifer 
the misfits  skulls 
motorhead  killed by death 
ac/dc  highway to hell 
butthole surfers  pepper 
blue oyster cult  don't fear the reaper 
the replacements  johnny's gonna die 
the kinks  waterloo sunset 

Comment:

this started out as a funeral mix but i got bored so i kind of retooled it a tad. that's why metallica leads into joy division (i'm sorry ian curtis! it's just "fade to black" is a pretty awesome song about death).

Cool Adverts and 'Mats picks. I like the Kinks too. And that is sad news.

How can 1 not adore that Blue Oyster Cult song? Thanx so much for putting it on here? Lots of good songs out there about the same topic, but you've done an admirable job. AC/DC is pleasing in a spin the tires on the hearse sort've way. Out.

i am by no means apologizing for putting metallica on my mix (hehe, especially because i downloaded "fade to black"...suckers!). but the transistion between "fade to black" and "atmosphere" is just so sad. ugh, i hate dave mustaine too much to put megadeth on my mix.

Rad. And the obligatory quote: "You know what I would want? One Step Beyond by madness...."

new order's "leave me alone" would work good here. Not necessarily about death, but kind of wanting to. I think you'd like it.
