Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If you could pick a theme song for "death of a salesman" or "a raisin in the sun" what would they be and why?

"Death of a Salesman": A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall Bob Dylan or Ain't No Man Righteous also by Bob Dylan.

Both of the songs represent inner struggles which is what he is going through.

"A Raisin in the Sun" : A Sentimental Blues by Ray Charles

Great song with wonderful lyrics that talks about doing things you wouldn't do, pushing your pride aside etc...

For Death of a Salesman the song 'Suicide is Painless' (the theme from MASH): http://www.mash4077.co.uk/theme.html

For Raisin in the Sun the ending theme to GOOD TIMES (not just because the family's black but because of the urban setting and the "asphalt glow" and "keepin' your head above water" lyrics).
