EvilPicnic	Date: April 19, 2006 @ 7:42 AM Miles Davis - Bitches Brew Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica FZ & the Mothers - Weasels Ripped My Flesh ...but there's not enough room for london Calling or OK Computer or Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing...or anything else... I would include the scores for Prokofiev's The Love For Three Oranges suite, Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring and Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire, too, if I had no space to include recordings of them.

MinisterofSc...	Date: April 19, 2006 @ 12:58 PM Haha, I was just looking at your list thinking "Rite of Spring! I shoulda thought!"
Svensta	Date: April 19, 2006 @ 2:15 PM See I misunderstood. I was thinking of three discs I could put in a space capsule and launch directly at the sun so no one would have to be exposed to their hideousness again. I need more than three slots.
Fraser	Date: April 19, 2006 @ 3:07 PM A smart thing to do would be to put cd's of 3 different genres in... And mixed cd's at that. You know, aliens might not have our same taste in music -Ultra Trance Volume 1 -ShadowZone (Static-x) -Something by Phil Keagy(???)
Fraser	Date: April 19, 2006 @ 3:07 PM Actually, scratch Phil Keagy, and Ill agree with Agent. Some mozart.
EchoMinor	Date: April 19, 2006 @ 5:30 PM pink floyd - the wall rush - retreospective "ya its a compilation type cd but would give them a taste of some of their greatest. NIN - the downward spiral
Mistress-Kee...	Date: April 19, 2006 @ 6:04 PM Three blanks. You have no idea how hard it is to get blank CDs out there...
tossom	Date: April 19, 2006 @ 8:05 PM I'd send out the following... Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield Rush of blood to the head - Coldplay Human Clay - Creed ...and hope that none ever make it back to earth.
Fraser	Date: April 19, 2006 @ 9:27 PM Maybe... Send them a cd with fl studio, reason, and cubase out there! They can make their own music
Mistress-Kee...	Date: April 19, 2006 @ 9:46 PM Ataxia - and a request to send some our way? I wonder how Mr.Spielberg would feel about that? GAFF,C
Fraser	Date: April 19, 2006 @ 10:22 PM
MinisterofSc...	Date: April 24, 2006 @ 11:37 AM That'd be so cool. I'd love that. Send out CD's and years later get them back with a bunch of crazy stuff.

billrhynes	Date: May 10, 2006 @ 12:28 AM The Beatles - Abbey Road Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon Black Sabbath - Sabotage but then I would sneak in Slayer's "Reign In Blood" when nobody was looking to make it an even four...
PrincessTast...	Date: May 10, 2006 @ 12:44 AM Sabotage? You sure not Sabbath Bloody Sabbath?
Veracohr	Date: May 10, 2006 @ 1:27 AM Some good choices in here! I'd choose three that hopefully showed the variety of styles available from human beings, and are also exceptional in songwriting. Honestly, I'd go something like this: CD1: classical CD2: regional non-Western (Indian, Arabic, African, Amazonian, Asian, Russian, etc.) CD3: popular music (rock, rap, pop, country, electronic, etc.) But I'm assuming you mean albums perhaps in my own collection. In that case: Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon" -- as bored as I am of this album and as much as I prefer just about any other Pink Floyd album over it these days (with the exception of "Momentary Lapse of Reason"), I admit it would be a good one. Opeth "Blackwater Park" Goa Vibes 2
Veracohr	Date: May 10, 2006 @ 1:32 AM And don't forget that we'd have to include some sort of battery-powered playback device with a glaringly obvious "Play" button.
DJEV	Date: May 20, 2006 @ 12:09 AM hmmm this is a toughy!!..lol.. lets see! well we would have to expose them to Pink Floyd, dark side of the Moon Definately some Stanley Jordon! any Cd of his wouold do! and of course? some indie! lets see, with all these fabulous artists here? I would do a Dmusic various artists Cd..
panicstrickin	Date: May 27, 2006 @ 3:47 AM I'd burn a mix of a ton of different stuff...If I had to send three full cd's? Prince, Motley Crue and Stevie Ray Vaughan...too hard a choice for me..there is way to much great music out there
scotfree	Date: June 1, 2006 @ 2:14 PM Three "official" recordings? The Clash-Sandinista J.S.Bach - The Brandenburgh Concertos Roxy Music Avalon Three no-holds-barred Big Audio Dynamite-Entering A New Ride Best tunes by Nick Hawkins Bryan Ferry-Aphaville
EvilPicnic	Date: June 1, 2006 @ 5:47 PM ^^Why Sandanista? That's an album about 2 LPs too long, IMO, way too much filler.
scotfree	Date: June 2, 2006 @ 3:02 PM Sandinista! OK...so here's the CD tracklist: 1. The Magnificent Seven 2. Hitsville U.K. 3. Junco Partner 4. Ivan Meets G.I. Joe 5. The Leader 6. Something About England 7. Rebel Waltz 8. Look Here 9. The Crooked Beat 10. Somebody Got Murdered 11. One More Time 12. One More Dub 13. Lightning Strikes (Not Once But Twice) 14. Up In Heaven (Not Only Here) 15. Corner Soul 16. Lets Go Crazy 17. If Music Could Talk 18. The Sound Of Sinners 1. Police On My Back 2. Midnight Log 3. The Equaliser 4. The Call Up 5. Washington Bullets 6. Broadway 7. Lose This Skin 8. Charlie Don't Surf 9. Mensforth Hill 10. Junkie Slip 11. Kingston Advice 12. The Street Parade 13. Version City 14. Living In Fame 15. Silicone On Sapphire 16. Version Pardner 17. Career Opportunities 18. Shepherds Delight ...now granted, some of the latter tracks (like Silicone On Sapphire) are more-or-less instrumental or dub versions of previous tunes...but that's the point of those...dub. Beyond that, there is just about every kind of music, short of opera and country, represented here...and in fine form...Too long??? what would you cut???
EvilPicnic	Date: June 2, 2006 @ 3:27 PM I don't actually know! Joe's lyrics were best here, but a lot of music feels a bit samey after a while, even with all the genre changes. I just generally think it's too long. Perhaps 'filler' was a bit too mean on my part. It's just not the best Clash album. Decent quality songs, but at that length I'd expect more real gems. My pick of The Clash would be From Here To Eternity, a nice selection of live songs from throughout their career, with a version of The Magnificent Seven which blows the original out the water.
MindSculpture	Date: June 2, 2006 @ 5:37 PM It would have to be something by westlife, Maria Carey and Oasis.... ...just to get them as far away from me as fucking possible.

kingo	Date: July 5, 2006 @ 8:26 AM They didn't have CDs before the 20th century.

EvilPicnic	Date: July 5, 2006 @ 9:56 AM They didn't have CDs before 1983 and yet their are various albums here from the 60s & 70s.
kingo	Date: July 5, 2006 @ 10:01 AM Lies.
SimonWaldram	Date: July 5, 2006 @ 10:09 AM ...which are all now available on CD! Here are just a few folks that nobody has mentioned yet: Beethoven Louis Armstrong Charlie Parker Elvis Presley Little Richard Buddy Holly Tim Buckley Nick Drake The Beach Boys The Byrds The Rolling Stones Johnny Cash Sex Pistols The Ramones Fugazi Pixies Sonic Youth Public Enemy
kingo	Date: July 5, 2006 @ 10:21 AM I would like to take everything, and put it all on a CD. We could speed it all up until it all fit. Or we could just put everything on top of everything. Then we'd just have to send ONE CD, thus saving on shipping costs.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: July 5, 2006 @ 10:52 AM That's a brilliant idea Kingo.

SimonWaldram	Date: July 5, 2006 @ 4:31 PM Folks, the album we need is 'Downloading The Repertoire' by Jack Mudurian. I'll let Gary "Pig" Gold (that's the actual name he goes by, folks) tell you his story: "For a good many years now, David Greenberger has been not only visiting, but documenting (in his legendary "Duplex Planet" zine) the strangely wonderful world of Boston's senior citizens, actually venturing into their residences from time to time to sample, first-hand, the woefully cast-aside wit and wisdom which is Life Over 65. One cloudless June afternoon in 1981, David brought a cassette recorder to visit the Duplex Nursing Home's very own Jack Mudurian. Asked, simply, to "sing something", this Duplex's Sinatra-in-residence proceeded to unfurl an utterly ear-bending 129(!!!)-song non-stop medley of show tunes, old favorites, and even a possibly definitive reading of "Rock Around The Clock". When the tape was full, the performance was over, and leave it to those wacky visionaries at Arf! Arf! to delicately place this treasure onto disc for all the world to savor. The phrase "hearing is believing" has never been more applicable." The album is widely available (even fucking Wal-Mart sell it on-line - don't buy from them, though). You can hear some of it here: http://www.npr.org/programs/lnfsound/stories/990910.stories.html

Snoogans775	Date: July 18, 2006 @ 4:08 PM we should just set up a huge loudspeaker to blast the Paris Hilton album into space, it'll will disgust anyone away from my beloved: "We're only in it for the money" FZ & mudders "OK Computer" Stereoneck and "Heart o' saturday Night" Tom Waits
PrincessTast...	Date: July 18, 2007 @ 9:32 AM All previously mentioned albums. We could squeeze them onto an iPod or something.

PrincessTast...	Date: July 18, 2007 @ 10:59 AM In light of such news, I'd offer them the choice of vinyl, everything sounds better that way anyway.
kingo	Date: July 18, 2007 @ 11:51 AM There was an exactly year pause in this conversation. Does that mean anything?
