Sorry to hear about your friend's death, Joe. Sounds like he was a standout individual.
Good Who songs to play at funerals, hmm? I liked the ones you picked, Joe. Very melancholy....ish.
Funeral Who. Morbid thread, isn't it? Well, one could possibly re- quest a few light-hearted numbers as well. Perhaps some Entwistle numbers.
Or you could just blast away LIVE AT LEEDS. I wouldn't mind the 14 1/2 minute version of "My Generation" from LAL played at my funeral. Make everybody sit through that. Make 'em sit quietly & just listen.
Or you could go Joe's route & pick some songs that old fuddy-duddies wouldn't be offended by. True funeral Who. (?)
Some other suggestions:
The Good's Gone The Kids Are Alright So Sad About Us Sunrise Melancholia Amazing Journey/Sparks Underture Sensation See Me, Feel Me Baba O'Riley Song Is Over Quadrophenia Imagine A Man Love Is Coming Down
Mind you, *some* fuddy-duddies might get offended by a few of these songs, but they all seem funeral-appropriate to me.
