The Apocalypse - Dec 21, 2012

theme
Some of the best songs about the end of the world. In the words of the great Jar Jar Binks, "Meesa gonna die!"...The 2012 phenomenon comprises a range of eschatological beliefs according to which cataclysmic or transformative events will occur on December 21, 2012. This date is regarded as the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. Various astronomical alignments and numerological formulae related to this date have been proposed.

1. 'The End' - The Doors

This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end Of our elaborate plans, the end Of everything that stands, the end... The Doors' ominious harbinger of impending doom made for one of cinema's most terrifyingly beautiful scenes during the scorched earth scenario in "Apocalypse Now." It's only fitting that when the Armageddon comes, Mr. Jim Morrison will lead the way.

3. 'Don't Fear the Reaper' - Blue Oyster Cult

All our times have come Here but now they're gone Seasons don't fear the reaper Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are Blue Oyster Cult imagines love at the end of the world, with maximum cheesiness possible. Their vision is basically a romance novel cover, but the song itself is an apocalypse classic. It does need a little more cowbell.

4. 'Black Hole Sun' - Soundgarden

In my eyes, indisposed In disguise as no one knows Hides the face, lies the snake The sun in my disgrace Boiling heat, summer stench 'Neath the black the sky looks dead Call my name through the cream And I'll hear you scream again In the 90's, grunge was all about angst for the sweater set. Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" captured the self-loathing epidemic inherent in the grunge milleu, but the iconic video portrayed the end of the world as a psychedelic mess that would be awesome to witness.

Theres a half-man, half-horse, who still pollutes my thoughts as he rides on a flame in the sky He comes through the centuries with me on his engines. The kids and the cats watch him fly.

9. '99 Luftballoons' - Nena

Probably the most fun you'll have dancing to a song about nuclear war. Didn't know that? That's okay, being the song was originally in German. There is the English version that might clear up some of the confusion, but frankly, it's more fun to dance to the unknown when facing the unknown, right?

10. 'The Man Comes Around' - Johnny Cash

And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder: One of the four beasts saying: "Come and see." And I saw. And behold, a white horse. There's a man goin' 'round takin' names. An' he decides who to free and who to blame. Everybody won't be treated all the same. There'll be a golden ladder reaching down. When the man comes around. The Man in Black spent most of his career investigating death and what was on the other side. Johnny Cash wrote many songs about dying, but few lay out the plans for Judgment Day like "When the Man Comes Around."

11. 'Earth Died Screaming' - Tom Waits

There was thunder, there was lightning, then the stars went out And the moon fell from the sky, it rained mackerel, it rained trout And the great day of wrath has come, and here's mud in your big red eye And the poker's in the fire and the locusts take the sky Well, the earth died screaming While I lay dreaming When Terry Gilliam was looking for a song to epitomize the post-apocalyptic vision of his film "12 Monkeys," he turned to the great growler Tom Waits. "The Earth Died Screaming" isn't the most comforting idea for the world's ultimate conclusion, but Waits' imagination is always an enjoyable place to visit.
