>David Bowie
is an alien, doesn't count
because they have 0 knowledge of human music
you can choose any disc, from any country
they will take it home with them and present it in museums teach it in universities and study it, but only the 5 discogs you give them. they never come back for 500 more years.
t. dab
why are we assuming aliens can hear sound as pleasurable? maybe they would memorize the vibration in three seconds and then avoid it as noise
nigga this isn't /sci/
I'd just tell them to check out stuff like Vivaldi and Wagner and then ask them to take me with them.
yeah but they already have these
ok so why do they need music if they are the same as us and are simply dumb about our music? realize like we only have our understanding of music because we're human and have all the associations with being human. the lyrics aren't gonna mean shit to them. the sounds might be terrifying, someone being all romantic or angry on a song could be heart attack-inducing. we as people don't even know how much we ruin ourselves with music because we force it upon ourselves in every store and social situation
why did you make me listen to gorillaz, now i wipe out your planet
>King Crimson
>Talking Heads
>Outkast
>Kanye West
>Death Grips
