    What songs would you add to our 'end of the world' playlist?

    posted at 5/19/2011 2:42 PM EDT

    We put together an "end of the world playlist" to go along with this coming Saturday's predicted Judgement Day or Rapture. What songs would you add to the list? Tell us and we might eventually tack on your suggestion (if we're all still here).

    I'd love to play this game, but I do not really believe the world will end until our sun goes nova. And this won't happen in our lifetimes.

    However, I think people will eventuwlly become extinct due to stupidity.

    I've created a list with that in mind.

    War Pigs- Black Sabbath
    The End Of The World As We Know It- R.E.M.
    Stupefaction- Graham Parker
    Can't Happen Here- Rainbow
    Hiroshima- Todd Rundgren's Utopia
    Manhatten Project - Rush
    War- Edwin Starr

    I suppose how one answers this depends on how one would react to the end of the world, having looked out one's window and seen volcanos of exploding demons or what-have-you....  

    For my part, I'd go with Mr. Morrison's comment at the end of one performance of Roadhouse Blues - "I wanna get my kicks before the whole sh*thouse goes up in flames"

    So.....


    Nighttrain - Guns n' Roses
    Gimmee Shelter - Stones
    We Die Young, Junkhead, A Little Bitter, Dam That River - Alice In Chains
    Roadhouse Blues, Five To One, The End, Riders on the Storm - The Door


    I dunno...occasionally contemplative songs but mainly those that menace with or revel in self-destruction...    

    ...of course a truly apocalyptic end of the world might cause one to rethink one's religious stance and opt for some prayers instead of pleasurable self-destruction....

    Ah yes some Black Sabbath would be in order.... 


    Any metal? Raining Blood - Slayer? They'd finally be relevant...

    Tom Waits - The Earth Died Screaming - Whistling Past the Graveyard -Everything Goes to Hell - Cold, Cold Ground - Misery Is the River of the World

    Rolling Stones - Sympathy For the Devil - Street Fightin' Man

    Van Morrison - Into the Mystic - O.K. Maybe not an end of the world song per se, but I might play it for the occasion anyway.

    Norman Greenbaum - Spirit In the Sky

    I'm with you ZILLAGOD. The world isn't ending any time soon. Even if us hominids are idiotic to wipe ourselves out, the world will still be here. I just hope we don't make so much of a mess that nothing else survives. As to Dec. 21, 2012, I'm hopeful enough to think that we're headed for a new beginning. A turning of the page so to speak, but I've been here too long to really believe it. At least we'll still have Christmas.

    "(Intro)" and "Svefn-g-englar" by Sigur Rós off the Ágætis Byrjun album, I always felt that these songs sound like the apocalypse and the whole world falling apart around us.
