What is the first record you would give to somebody who had never ever listened to music before?

― Tom, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

obvious

drive like jehu - yank crime

― dudley, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

'Peter and the Wolf'.

― Andrew L, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"let him run wild" - the beach boys

― jel --, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The Godz - White Cat Heat
Chien Andalou.

Go West, the Pet Shop Boys version - we can't run the risk of him going to 'the other side' and risking THE IRON CURTAIN.

(Home interweb wahey now you can mess about on the interweb instead of moaning when I want to watch SOAPS)

Do-re-mi?

― N., Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd give him the XTC album (vinyl ed) with the text all over the cover. (With another record inside of course)

'Space Oddity'

― the pinefox, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

He would be Tanya's perfect partner! Never let him listen to music and send him round to hers!

― alext, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

She's already spoken for.

― the pinefox, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

APOPTYGMA BERZERK!!!! (or a Prince album)

― Dan Perry, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd hand him two sticks and tell him to go for it.

― Colin Meeder, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Graveland "Fed By The Beasts"

― Siegbran Hetteson, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd hand him two sticks and tell him to go for it.

EW.

― Dan Perry, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Whaddidya expect? He was raised by wolves!

― Colin Meeder, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The Hilliard Ensemble's recording of Ockeghem's Missa prolationum.
(I would then explain that everybody else might just as well have given up writing music from that point on.)

Alternatively: "The Runaway Train" by Pinky and Pinky - hey, worked for me!

― Jeff W, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"All" by the Descendents, which is one second long.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

either metal machine music or kinky friedman's sold american.

― Queen G Deneuve, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Happy Birthday"

― dleone, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i'd play him the new moby. that way when he hears good music he'll apreaciate it.

― dyson, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

This question has been officially answered by the U.S. Government! Here is the music NASA included on the Voyager space probe.

― Mark, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(Creatures coming accross this record may have heard music but probably not Earth-music, unless they picked off some stray radio transmissions.)

― Mark, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Wasn't that also Rolling Stone's 50 Coolest Records list? ;-)

― Jeff W, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I love that there is an analog LP flying through space, somewhere now beyond pluto. Gold-plated, too, it's like a Mobile Fidelity pressing! (only 16 RPM though, which MF labs would not certainly not have approved.)

― Mark, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Send More Chuck Berry."

― Nate Patrin, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

NASA often wakes up missions with rock music... apparently they woke up the shuttle recently with "Purple Haze", a song some have claimed to make drug allusions. What do they wake the cosmonauts up with?

― Andy, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think I would play the Wolfboy Harry Belefonte's version of "O Danny Boy." Very primal record.

― Mark, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Slippery When Wet.

Or maybe Thriller.

― sundar subramanian, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Gorky Park

― J Blount, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Or maybe I Get Wet. The 80s sucked. Well, either that or the Theatre of Eternal Music playing "Early Tuesday Morning Blues".

― sundar subramanian, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

eleven months pass...

Theatre of Eternal Music playing "Early Tuesday Morning Blues".
Where can I get a recording of this by the way?

― T. Weiss (Timmy), Friday, 2 May 2003 06:30 (twenty-two years ago)

guitar wolf's entire discography.

― brian badword (badwords), Friday, 2 May 2003 06:55 (twenty-two years ago)

oh woops. read as "boy raised by wolves from space"

but still.

― brian badword (badwords), Friday, 2 May 2003 06:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd probably give them Vivaldi, and then give them Beatles' 62-66. Nice easy foot tapping stuff. Everyone's a winner!
