The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
In reality, I'd probably spend the remainder of my life agonizing over which songs to pick. But just off the top of my head, here are five songs:
Billie Holiday- "I Cover the Waterfront" Chopin's Nocturne op.9 no.2 Velvet Underground- "Pale Blue Eyes" Rachmaninoff's piano concerto no. 2 - the whole concerto if I'm allowed. If not, just the adagio sostenuto. Elvis Costello- "Days" (Kinks cover)-- I'd be okay with this being the last one. "Thank you for the days", exploding into a wash of guitar distortion.
this is a lovely list

I will echo the enjoyment of "Days" closing that list out.

All My Friends - LCD Soundsystem Ooh Child - Beth Orton (not the original by the Spiral Staircase) Door to the River - Manic Street Preachers Stand By Me - Ben E. King Asleep - The Smiths
I've already thought about that and I came to the conclusion that the last song I want to hear is:
Agalloch - Our Fortress Is Burning I / Agalloch - Our Fortress Is Burning II: Bloodbirds / Agalloch - Our Fortress Is Burning III: The Grain (3 tracks but they're part of the same thing)
I try to listen to this before I have to take a plane or something like that. Just in case.

But Marvin Gaye crushes that song so much harder.
