is that too morbid a subject for a thread? I'll tell you what prompted it. At Colin Powell's funeral, it was revealed that he was a huge Abba fan. They actually played Dancing Queen at his funeral! Also a Bob Marley fan and they played Three Little Birds. Dick Armitage delivered a eulogy" << He told story after story about Powell, from the time he passed a basketball around his Pentagon office with the Harlem Globetrotters to the time Powell got down on one knee and serenaded the foreign minister of Sweden after she presented him with a collection of Abba albums. >>
If a distinguished general and former Secretary of State can have Abba and Marley, then clearly anything goes in these modern times.
I think I would like "Lift me up" from Armchair Theatre played for me. And perhaps the violin intro to Livin' Thing.

I’d either go mainstream with Mr Blue Sky or less well known Hello My Old Friend, I would also like The Romance of the Telescope by OMD.

If I'm cremated it has to be "Fire On High", failing that "Jungle", why not

I've already chosen three songs from other bands. But having read the earlier posts if I were going to choose an ELO one I think One Summer Dream or Take Me On And On would be lovely
