every good plot deserves a soundtrack

[minkhollow]

...wait, that's not the scale mnemonic. Anyway. Feel free to add your own suggestions to this set, but these are the songs that have sprung to mind so far for the Allpocalypse:

It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) - REM
Closing Time - Semisonic
Tables and Chairs - Andrew Bird
You Are a Tourist - Death Cab for Cutie

In with the wrong journal, but I love that DJ Earworm mashup! :D

For harrowing, doom-worthy, and epic apocalypses, look no farther than E. S. Posthumus. Epic music is epic.

Pompeii
Ebla
Menouthis

Other Apocalyptic musics:

Final Fantasy X - Otherworld (complete with vid of a world ending. ^_^)
Final Fantasy X - Decisive Battle (my personal soundtrack for the battle at the end of Yrael's canon ^_^)

[aberrantangels]

John Barry, "Main Theme from The Black Hole"

[camwyn]

Billy Joel, "Miami 2017 (Seen The Lights Go Out On Broadway)"
Nena, "99 Red Balloons"
Tom Lehrer, "We Will All Go Together When We Go"

Okay, they're a little nuclear oriented, but does that surprise anybody?

Really late, but that may not matter. 12goingon113 and wheatencrown seem to be insisting that the world ends in ice, not fire. :P

Incubus, "Pardon Me"

Oh! just remembered! If I somehow find the time to allow way way in the future Amascut an appearance, Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" may be relevant

[waco_jim]

Really super-duper mega-late, but it matters even less.

Can, Mushroom. "Well I saw mushroom head / Well I saw skies are red / I was born / And I was dead."
Genesis, Supper's Ready. The ultimate Armageddon-related dork-rock song. And a belated Happy Birthday to Steve Hackett while I'm on the subject.

In late and I'm sure I can find more later...

The Creatures, Exterminating Angel (http://youtu.be/d2KOFrlcXPU).
