Having listened to this excerpt on Radio 4 and being disappointed with the lack of imagination in the choices of most popular songs to be played at funerals (Angels, Somewhere Over the Rainbow)I decided to make my own list.

Going Underground - The Jam
Don't Fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult
Staying Alive - The Bee Gees
Atmosphere - Russ Abbot!!
