Playlist of the Apocalypse
So, about half-way down the page of this topic, the conversation veered onto what music would best accompany the nuclear armaggedon that we contemplate with each second of Defcon. I thought I might post that question in a more open manner -- what music do you feel would be most appropriate in an "End of the World" soundtrack?
My own picks (off the top of my head):
Beautiful World, sung by Louis Armstrong
R.E.M - End of the World as We Know It
"O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana, by Carl Orff
1812 Overture, by Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky
Vera Lynn, We'll Meet Again
"In the Hall of the Mountain King" from Peer Gynt, by Edvard Grieg
Bôa - Duvet
