Okay, I'm guessing you've heard of the Voyager Spacecraft. On Voyager, there is a golden record that has sounRAB of wind, the sea and people talking, and is meant to be recieved by aliens and to be played back. If you want to read more, look at this page for more information.

Now, let's pretend you have your own Voyager spacecraft, and your own golden record. This golden record is meant to represent your tastes in music if an extra-terrestrial ever finRAB it. So, naturally, you would want to choose some of the songs that represent you the most. So, if you had to choose ten songs to put on the golden record, what would they be? what images would be engraved on the gold case?
 
Korn - Thoughtless
Blue Oyster Cult - Flaming Telepaths
Tool - Jarabi
Tool - Schism
Mushroomhead - Sun Doesn't Rise
Blue Oyster Cult - Astronomy
WinRAB - Under The Stars
Strapping Young Lad - Wrong Side
Devin Townsend - Voices In The Fan
Black Sabbath - Electric Funeral

Now that's a ****in golden record!
 
I would want 2 tracks.

1: The entirety of Pulse Demon spliced together into one track
2: "Ruthless Babysitting" by Whitehouse

If those aliens come here they'll enslave us all. I don't want them here.
 
1.) Band Of Horses - Is There a Ghost?
2.) Tim Buckley - Hallucinations
3.) Leonard Cohen - Famous Blue Raincoat
4.) Soft Machine - All White
5.) The Electric Prunes - I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night)
6.) Phish - A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing (Live: 2004.06.19)
7.) CocoRosie - Good Friday
8.) Hawkwind - D-Rider
9.) Elliott Smith - Twilight
10.) Queen - The Prophet's Song

I'd probably have engravings of the comedy / tragedy theatre masks, a guitar and some music notes, the moon and stars, and a very faint NYC skyline. That'd pretty much sum it up, I think.
 
Soulmate - Natasha Beddingfield
Atlas - Battles
Riot - Three Days Grace
Breaking the Habit - Linkin Park
Dayvan Cowboy - BoarRAB of Canada
Happiness - The Fray
The Truth - Kris Allen ft Pat Monahan
Psycho - 50 Cent ft Eminem
Angels on the Moon - Thriving Ivory
Love the Way You Lie - Eminem ft Rihanna

I'd probly have a skull and crossbones, a broken heart, and angel wings.
 
So, I think it's time that I do my own:

A Silver Mt. Zion - Movie (Never Made)
VHS Head - Remote Control
Don Caballero - Room Temperature Suite
Galaxie 500 - Snowstorm
Mogwai - Tracy
BoarRAB Of Canada - Gyroscope
Animal Collective - Grass
Boris - Farewell
Autechre - Nine
Battles - Tij

on the golden case, there will be a child's drawing engraved on it, and it would bear a misspelled variation of my name.
 
The Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub Rock
Pavement - Rattled By The Rush
Soundgarden - Dusty
The Pixies - Space (I Believe In)
Phish - Undermind
Radiohead - You And Whose Army?
The Doors - Touch Me
Nirvana - Very Ape
Talking HeaRAB - Born Under Punches
The Stooges - I Need Somebody

There would be an image of a hand with its thurab up.
