They should have send Beethoven's Ninth, Yes' Close to the Edge, The Empire Strikes Back and Forrest Gump.

Oh, and the complete Discworld series.

This isn't so bad, really.

No, hear me out! I mean, they could have sent out copies of Manos: Hands of Fate or Leonard Part Six. Our piddly solar system would be in quarantine for millenia if they get ahold of either of those.

I agree that music is the best bet for sending a message in a bottle into outer space.

I'd think that something advanced, like Relativity would be the best thing to send out into space.

Advanced would probably be a very relative (hee) term in this case.

What if a less advanced alien species finds this thing? It could become the cornerstone for the development of their entire society. "The magical disk sent by the gods that told of what happened 'In the beginning...'"

Oh you guys....always worrying about what the neighbors will think.

I just appreciate how they were thorough and included 1000 different languages.

Imagine our surprise when it turns out that Farsi was the universal language all along.

Just had a thought. This thing was probably developed by a load of 30 something computer geeks, so they've probably sent the 1st 3 albums by Genesis.
