Punk rock songs for a funeral

[Juan Albion]

I'm conducting a funeral on Saturday for a 57 year old woman who died from cancer. Her preferred music was punk and new wave, so does anyone have any suggestions for songs we could play?

Given that it is a cremation, songs like The Jam's "Funeral Pyre" would probably not be appropriate.

One of my friends had Going underground played at his funeral.

 

[Since1982]

Angels With Dirty Faces, Sham 69

 

[Pavilionaire]

Maybe "No Feelings" or "Bodies" by the Sex Pistols?

 

[Since1982]

Welcome To Paradise, Green Day

 

[BN9 BHA]

My Way, Sid Vicious

 

[Mr Bridger]

Walk on by - the Stranglers

 

[el punal]

Probably very insensitive I know, but something from Stiff Little Fingers? I do apologise for the appalling taste.

 

[Superphil]

I'm Alive - 999
The Wait - Killing Joke
Love Song - The Damned
(Who are the) Mystery Girls - New York Dolls/Slaughter & the Dogs

 

[BN9 BHA]

The Clash - Should I stay or should I go.

 

[Superphil]

Oh Bondage, Up Yours - X-Ray Spex

 

[BN9 BHA]

Walk on by - the Stranglers

On a serious note this would be a great song for the funeral.

 

[Bombadier Botty]

No Future by the Pistols

 

[Pogue Mahone]

My Way, Sid Vicious

My best mate from teen years died, aged 42, ten years ago. This was played at the end of the funeral as the coffin went through the curtains.

I cried, uncontrollably.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Stay Free by The Clash seems appropriate.

Sorry to hear about your best mate, far too young.
My Way was played at my dads funeral, not the Sid Vicious version though, but this version is definitely appropriate for a punk fans funeral.

 

[Buckeejit]

'Do Anything You Wanna Do' by Eddie and the Hot Rods is, for this punter, the most uplifting song of the punk era... sounds like your friend lived life the way she wanted to so this might strike the appropriate tone with her friends and loved ones. Sorry for your loss.

 

[Insel affe]

The first punk song ever "love me" the phantom

 

[Juan Albion]

One of my friends had Going underground played at his funeral.

Great song, but in this case she's not going underground. Might play it anyway.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

My Way was played at my dads funeral, not the Sid Vicious version though, but this version is definitely appropriate for a punk fans funeral.

Likewise, sorry for the loss of your dad.
