The Golden Question

"We cast this message into the cosmos… Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, some — perhaps many — may have inhabited planets and space faring civilizations. If one such civilization intercepts Voyager and can understand these recorded contents, here is our message: We are trying to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope some day, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of Galactic Civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination and our goodwill in a vast and awesome universe."

-Jimmy Carter

This was the message that Jimmy Carter put on the Voyager spacecraft before the shot it balls into the outer reaches of the cosmos. Can you imagine being the guy that puts the official message into the spacecraft thats going to leave our solar system. I mean those were some good words to put if I do say so myself, but really if you had a chance what would you say?

I doubt mine you would be as well put. I mean talk about an oppurtunity to get something of your chest. You could say anything and nobody on earth would read that shit. Cut to 500 years later when a spacefaring civilization lands on earth, knowing all of my personal shit.

I mean its no different than reading Kurt Cobains journal. Bet he didnt suspect that shitty notebook he wrote all his personal garbage would be sitting on a Books-A-Million shelf 10 years after he shoots himself. Just like this blog will be famous when I become the first man to get every question wrong a true false test.

Anyway, it wasnt just a message from the most ineffective president in the 20th century that was put on board the Voyager. There also was a set of golden records that contained nature recordings, music from different cultures and eras and spoken word greetings in over 50 different languages.

Music. I wonder what exact music was stuck on there. I wonder what it would be like to be that guy who got his record stuc...

So lets get to the question. If you could pick one act, one band, one singer, etc... to give the golden treatment and stick on the Voyager to be shot out into space where odds are that no one will ever see or hear from aga... where other civilizations will prosper from and learn... the group that kicks the most ass!

And yes I understand this question is the nuclear bomb of all geek questions.

My pick, which at the end of the day I knew in my heart of hearts would be, is the Chemical Brothers. They just are the end all to be all bee knees 23 skido.

I would also put the rolling stones on there as well. Not a recording though mind you the actual band. Anything to get them the fuck off this planet and the fuck away from the stage.

So no pussing out, now is the time to man up. No top 5, no specifics, no multiple launchs. You only get one Voyager. SO ANSWER BITCHES.
