1. If they heard country...

They would either turn around or nuke the planet.

4. What happens when you play Country music backwards?

You get out of jail, you get 'your woman' back and your dog comes back to life.

7. Link Wray and the Wrayman

2. Once they hear "Heard It Through The Grapevine"..by Marvin Gaye

they will deem us a species worth further study,

3. John Lee Hooker. Son House. BB King.

5. you assume they will have hearing like ours

perhaps they will hear like dogs & all our music will hurt them.

you human-centric bigots make me puke.

6. They would command you to put this in the LOUNGE!

And I believe they would listen to techno.

[CatholicEug]

8. They Might Be Giants, of course! :)

And I can see Laurie Anderson pushing some new material on them.

14. there you go. Earl is the man!

My favorite stuff is the work he did after he left Lester and went on the road with his kids.

My ex husband got to know Earl through his job and ultimately bought one of his banjos. We had the extreme pleasure of hearing him play it when we went to pick it up. So I sat in his den, watching him pick this Fender Banjo for the last time.

My ex made some comment about the variety in the first Earl Scruggs Revue album, and Earl said "You can't play Cripple Creek forever'

I loved that!!!!!

The banjo is somewhere in Arkansas with my ex husband now. This was about 30 years ago, I think

11. I have it on good authority that reggae is very popular

Especially with Lectroids named 'John'.

[The Sushi Bandit]

12. BOWIE AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS

[bryant69]

13. Fat Boy Slim is F***ing in Heaven

Don't know if that is relevant but thought I'd mention it.

15. Mozart, because the music has too many notes

(inside joke from the movie "Amadeus"

[MISSDem]

16. Chopin's Etudes

[nostamj]

18. ah yes! the original 'new age' music!

17. Jimi

Upon hearing Hendrix they would know that divinity had indeed been seeded on the planet and they would smile, however after learning that earthlings had been so complacent to let Jimi drift away on his own and so negligent as to not care and nurture and enthrone him as the poet-in-residence of the musical cosmos they would abruptly stop smiling and know the earth race had no future.

19. OMG, No Bochelli, No Classical artists mentioned?? O'MG

How bout Flute Music ftom the Andes?

Or, Diggerydoo sounds from Down Under?

Or, Throat singing from Tuva???

And when we Honor the ETs with a Banquet...what would we serve them?? POI?? PINTO BEANS? Lutefisk?

[EstimatedProphet]

20. I think they may be intrigued by all music

But, they'd really get into Bela Fleck and the Dead.

[Deja Q]

21. DISCO!

[ThoughtCriminal]

22. Send more Chuck Berry!
