Really good question, I think! Paranoid fruit that I am, I quite frequently ask myself "What would aliens think of.." a wide variety of subjects, especially when I walk around Central London.
Aliens are like the ultimate 3rd person comparative, for holding a mirror against ourselves - it's a shame they don't make themselves known to us, and let us know what douches we all are.Pachelbel - Canon & Gigue
Aphex Twin - Polynomial-C
Bob Marley - Natural Mystic
Gorecki - Symphony #3 (cheating, I know)
Plaid - Rakimou
Radiohead - Everything in its right place
DJ Food - The Crow
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Dionne Warwick - Walk on by
Cheeky Girls - The Cheeky song (touch my bum) / Sabrina - Boys, boys, boys

So given this great opportunity you choose to send them pop music from the last 3 decades. That's impressive.
I'd probably include some classical, and traditional folk music representative of various cultures over sending them fucking DJ Food.

Please note 1st and 4th entries, rasko.
I suppose it depends on what metric you think best describes our musical achievements - Aphex twin is modern day classical, if you ask some, so too Radiohead and the work of Bacharach. Modern music rests on the shoulders of giants, so is representative of what came before.
I had wanted to put in some folk, but I don't know any song / artists, same too with foreign music (not having any African music in is terrifally remiss). So, I thought about it, then decided to choose what *I* would want to send. I had hoped that adding Cheeky girls at the end would indicate the inherent limitation of my choice, but you chose not to see that. Telling.
But hey, you're obviously a lot smarter and better than I am, so I'll let you choose my ten songs, shall I?
Note also that I qualified my limitations in my second note, but hey, this is just a wee question for a Sunday afternoon, I wasn't going to spend hours checking through my catalogue to find the ultimate answer.
But answer I did, rather than just pour scorn and mock, which is what you chose to do. I wonder how the aliens would view your response, you sanctimonious dick?
- I love the way you deride my choices as 'pop' what the fuck do you think folk was, anyway?detritus
- angry little man aren't you?max_prophet
- you also show what an egomaniac you are every time I post by assuming I'm referring to you, get over it you self righteous bore.max_prophet
- righteous bore.max_prophet
- Are you really that self-deluded? Your post followed mine and referred to explicitly to DJ Food?detritus
- Righteous bore.detritus
- i didn't even look who wrote it tbh, it was a general theme of the thread, the linear timeline thread. You seem to think I give much more of a shit than I actually do, as ever.max_prophet
- much more of a shit than I actually do, as ever.max_prophet
- you've really wound yourself up over this huh? You start off please and all of a sudden your all fuck this and dick that. LOLmax_prophet
- Not really, I wanted to answer you decently, then get across the fact that I think you're an arsehole.detritus
- Can we go back to ignoring each other? I had thought you were becoming less of an arsehole. I was wrong, clearly.detritus
- you're both so eager to convince the other that you don't care, yet you keep responding...eighteen

I think there is a capsule buried somewhere with many artifacts, that is to survive millions of years and be found by "someone" aliens (I don't believe exist) or someone in the future or whichever.
In any case, there was paintings like the Monalisa, things like that, but I remember the songs, and it was Bethoven, I think also albums from the Beatles.

I think the common bond shared by all humans is our basic range of emotions. Showcasing them and creating an experience, or rather designing an experience, is the way to go imho.

Nairn. its pretty obvious to anyone reading exactly who the arsehole is. You seem to follow me around waiting for something to nag at, that was one of the main reasons I left here in the first place if you must know. I don't owe you anything, I don't have standards to meet, I have no political standpoint that I must virtuously defend. I am not Bob Dylan. I am not your leader. I have nothing to prove to you or anyone else and I don't mean to bring out any inferiority complexes you may be harbouring.
It's funny, you rant on about how I'm a 'sanctimonious dick' etc and yet you are the one here constantly broadcasting what a righteous chap you are while you hound me out for my various terrible crimes such as being.. what was it recently - 'painfully middleclass' - based entirely upon the fact that I had a certain brand of cereal in my cupboard, that incidentally, was on half price offer.
Go away you fleece-wearing sap.
