NASA needs our help in that it would ask the members of this board to compile a "short" list of tunes that we would consider worthy of representing our civilization in terms of music.
In doing so, NASA would then send out a recording to the endless void we know as the universe with the songs compiled not only of our favourites but ones that would be influential in representing ourselves as a species...in terms of all things regarding music.
Keep in mind that stuff from many moons ago would also suffice and just might help solidify our nature as cultural and artistic geniouses that thrive and live for just such an emotional nuance such as music.
Tough call. Easy to send out the Best Of The Beatles, but that reaally doesn't signify the importance of the music that we have been familiar with and would expect to represent our humble little planet with now is it?
Call in Beethoven, Bach, Verdi, Fats Domino, The Ramones, Sinatra, KISS, Huey Lewis...whoever...
What would your contribution consist of?
I't would be easy to just package up the entire deal, but really...what alien life form is going to take the time to listen to it all? If their attention span is anything similar to ours...we had best hit em with the good stuff right off the bat and keep it short!!! hahahahahaha.
How about a cd of the music you would think someone from another planet would enjoy...and let's pretend that they are kinda like us...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Seriously...I think we can come up with a better recording than the crap that NASA sent out a number of years ago???...hahaha
Thanks
