3 top tunes and what I'd want at my wedding, party and funeral are not quite the same. Bear in mind since I change my mind more often than a woman in a shoe shop that it'll be different in an hour
Top Three
Churchill's Speech & Aces High - Iron Maiden*
Heading out to the Highway - Judas Priest
Last Drop Falls - Sonata Arctica
* Churchill's Speech is a must.
Wedding: My Hero - Paramore or Foo Fighters
Party: Feuer Frei - Rammstein
Funeral: When the Tigers Broke Free - Pink Floyd

I'm inviting myself to all your events if that's the kind of playlists they'll have.

1) Libera, Do not stand, funeral
2) Fleetwood Mac, Isn't it midnight, party
3) Duran Duran, Ordinary world, wedding
Although the wedding one may change should i find a future hubby who has differing tastes!

Funeral = "Starless" by King Crimson - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9IQnDRYIYU
Wedding (if it was tomorow) - "Stroke #2" by Mike Dickson - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpDZP09cTvI
Party - Not sure, cos I'm not much of a party person. I prefer to sit there with several pints in front of me listening to whatever music is pumped out by "the Disco" (which will probably be populist male bovine excrement). I'd like it if he'd get up the noses of the dancing fraternity, and stick this on. If Bez can dance to it, then so can they! It's Happy Mondays with the 'Perfecto' mix of "Loose Fit". Some of it was used on an advert for Old Spice.

my fave 3, incidentally to be played at birthday wedding or funeral
Wilson Pickett - In the Midnight Hour
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KFYUJ63nk8
is this not the best song ever written, I suspect anyone not inclined to dance to this may be be indeed clinically dead
Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z66wVo7uNw
once again, as soon as this kicks in it's obvious that this is indeed fantastic
Guided by Voices - I Am A Scientist
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN9x6zckn18
Beautiful - "I am a lost soul, I shoot myself with rock & roll, the hole I dig is bottomless but nothing else can set me free" - truly words to live by
bubbling under:
Teenage Fanclub - Did I Say
"Hey, Did I say, that I smiled, when I first heard your name?"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKWv0eSWaTc
High Llamas - Rotary Hop
"It's time to look for somewhere new"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKWv0eSWaTc

Like a few others, my top three aren't the same as I'd have at my birthday, wedding or funeral.
My top 3 would be
Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel
See Emily Play - Pink Floyd
Fullmoon - Sonata Arctica
At my funeral, I want Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
At my birthday, I don't really give a damn as long as I like it.
At my wedding, I'd probably say (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love & Understanding - Elvis Costello & The Attractions [I like to take the &^%$ sometimes (not literally though)
]

As i started this then maybe i should add mine:
Birthday Songs
1) Ac/Dc You shook me all night long
2) Guns & Rose's Paradise City
3) From my childhood Ken Dodd 'We are the Diddymen and we come from Knotty Ash'
Wedding Song hard choice however i think Michael Crawford is a very underrated singer with an amazing voice and he would be singing
1)Love Changes eveything
2)When she loved me
3)Music of the night
Funeral Songs
1) Elvis Presley Walk a mile in my shoes
2) Andrea Bocelli/Sarah Brightman Time to say goodbye
