Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Radiohead - Exit Music

I'd get Thayer & Ransom to DJ. Ransom can play MF Doom, Thayer can play Shakedown album back to back to back.

Sid Vicious - My Way
Motley Crue - Shout at the devil
PJ Harvey - Horses

on the pink floyd tip - comfortably numb
and picking up on DJ shadow - off private press, (excuse my non-trainspotting uncoolness) near the end, its slow gothicy 80's synthy with his own vocals I think.

Based on the jbs model, after everyone had been somber I'd bust out with a bit of:

DJ Skribble vs Mr Reds - Can You Feel It
This ain't no party
This ain't no disco
This ain't no foolin' around

if its an epic soundtrack prelude to a state funeral I reckon all 4 seasons from the requiem for a dream soundtrack followed by NIN the fragile.
