Years ago I met a guy who, apart from his regular day job, was also a DJ on local hospital radio. As a music fan I was quite jealous until he explained precisely how careful he had to be about which tunes he played because people were sick, dying or an acute pain.....

Dunno why I suddenly remembered that but I thought it might be fun to create a playlist of tunes you absolutely, positively, indupitably could not get away with playing on hospital radio. Because weasels.

I'll kick off with three fairly obvious ones, you sick fuckers follow with your YouTube links as you see fit and hopefully we will get some good tunes along the way.

Saliva - Your Disease


Slash - We're All Gonna Die (good for old folks homes though)

Ozzy Osbourne - Goodbye To Romance / Suicide Solution / Waiting For Darkness / So Tired / Let It Die (OK so any of his songs)

Also Let It Die by the Foo Fighters (worse for the family really).
 
A bad choice for any setting, really:
 
Can't believe I didn't think of this one until now. :lol:

 
In high school, my band played a charity festival to raise money for two elementary school kids who had cancer (one needed a heart transplant, and one needed brain surgery). We played, among other songs...

 
Strapping Young Lad - "Spirituality"


Devin Townsend - "Bastard" and "Things Beyond Things" (Especially the end of the latter... :wink:)


Every dark ambient song ever.

 
Mike and the Mechanics, The Living Years. It's written from the perspective of a grown son wishing he would have had a closer relationship with his father before he died.

I wasn't there that morning
When my Father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say


I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
