We've discussed Funeral Songs here in the past, so I'll link to Hartlaub's discussion of same in The Poop on SFGate.... but some of the suggestions in the comments are just frightening. Dude -- you actually want to subject your friends and relatives to "Kayleigh" by Marilllion??

Top 50 LA Bands

so, were the numbers in order?  Putting Love so low in the list was unforgivable, if the numbers mean anything.
Don't stand in the way of LOVE!

You can cast your vote.  The results so far show Love in the middle...behind The Bangles, but ahead of The Eagles.  The Mothers Of Invention by a country mile...

Did you click on the photos?  Great clips of each band, too.   :)

See the progress here:

Well, it's better that they're not 45 out of 50, but pretty low.  At least the Mothers are #1.  I smell some coordinated voting!
Don't stand in the way of LOVE!
