  Few people limit themselves to one and I don't know of a single musical selection that I would recommend unless it's the Voyager Golden Record sent off on two space probes in 1977 for ET to stumble upon, but there are more than 2 dozen selections totaling 90 minutes.

  If anyone knows of a CD or DVD recording of the music and other material on on the Voyager Golden Record, I'd love to get one.

  It would depend upon whether the aliens are our friends or our foes.

  If they were friends, I'd send them my entire CD collection with an intro. from Pearl Jam singing, "Evenflow."

  If they were enemies, I'd send them a Country music compellation, Britney Spear's Greatest hits, some random Hip Hop, and anything by Michael Bolton.

  LOL

  Lot's of songs, yet y'all ain't sayin' whether you'd send those to friend-aliens or foe-aliens.

  There is a distinction, don't cha know?

  This is more of an independent release, but it sums up up our world quite succinctly:
