So maybe Memorial Day is really to honor solely fallen servicemen and servicewomen in the United States. But we wanted to make a list of the top ten songs memorializing just about anyone to give us a little more to choose from. So whether it be a fallen loved one, fellow musician, fictional character or national figure, all songs about the deceased are fair game. So in the words of everyone’s favorite dead collector, “Bring out yer dead”.
Editor’s Note: This list was originally posted in 2012 for Memorial Day.
