Rolling Stone's Exclusive Funeral Mixtape


We provide your soundtrack for the rockingest funeral ever!

Inspired by news that James Blunt's "Goodbye My Lover" is the song most requested to be played at people's funerals in the UK, we asked you, our beloved readers, to provide us with a selection of your picks for that fateful day (hoping that in the process we'd be able to prove that we have way better musical taste than our British bretheren.) We chose ten of the best suggestions so that we could bring you this exceptional mixtape. Til death do us part! Listen to the whole Mixtape of Death playlist Bob Dylan: "Not Dark Yet" [Listen]
