Before I start this thread, I'm not vouching for any doomsday prophecies here or saying that the end-times are nigh. This is just a little thread inspired by the antics of another little thread.

Now, here's the situation. You, your buddies, a high rooftop, maybe some lawn-chairs. But above all an unspoiled view of the incoming meteors/nuclear missiles/cheeseburgers that your and your buds will survive (for the sake of songs to hail the somewhat spectacular fall of civilisation and not the gloom of incoming death) as well as a fine set of speakers to play your song of choice for zero hour.

So, Escapist. As you're bearing witness to this symphony of destruction, what song will be playing (remember, you survive this destruction)? Mine will be (again inspired by that other thread):

Because...
Cause it feels like a run of a lifetime
And nothing?s gonna save us now
Let the waves come crashing down

Fits better for a Cold War era but nukes are still possible right?

These songs seems like obvious candidates. And there are plenty more songs called "End Of The World" as well. You'd think we'd want it to end the amount people sing about it.

I think this song would be perfectly suited to watching the ending of the world. It sounds brutal, agonizing, sorrowful, helpless. Such things are what death/doom consists of, of course, but this song in particular is far from the norm. I think it would make good apocalypse soundtrack anyway.

Well, it's likely only going to be the end of humanity so.

I know what I'd play! Everybody sing along!

It's the end of the world as we know it,
It's the end of the world as we know it,
It's the end of the world as we know it,
And I feel fineee...

A little obvious perhaps. But come the end of the world, I will be running around panicking. Possibly on fire.

The end of the world ain't got nothing on the power... of RELIGION!


Or this can't really decide between the two... Awesome bible spinning vs Klavier's Brummy accent... Battle of the century

Damn you! I had the same idea. :(

Since my school has blocked youtube (I only post at school), I don't know if anyone has posted this yet.

"I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire" by the Ink Spots.

Everytime I hear that song, all I can think of is Fallout 3. Best song to watch the world burn to.

I'm not sure if this is technically cheating or not, for those of you who finished Bastion:


for the bunny above me, I prefer this version:
