Well, my picks: Comfortably Numb - the way the chorus soars gives me chills. Dogs Julia Dream Point me at the Sky Childhoods End Wearing the Inside Out Poles Apart Shine on you Crazy Diamond Part IX - the final instrumental bit. ---

There was a thread on the board a while back on what music people wanted played at their funerals. Only one person mentioned “Don’t Fear the Reaper”. I personally gave it a pass because it was too obvious a choice. ---

You are right, I think. Rather than opt for too obvious a choice which I personally like, how much better it would be to select a more obscure song which I absolutely detest. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/favorite-pink-floyd-song/129830.md?page=3)
