I wonder how the list would look like if voyager would be sent today? Would we for example send Justin Bieber, Rick Ross or artists like Deadmous5?

I'm more annoyed Extra Terrestrials get to listen to our music for free without any geographical restrictions! hardly seems fair.

Would love to see the following experiment: 1) Take a bunch of people from different backgrounds, ages, etc 2) Test if they know about the golden records 3) Take the ones who don't and close them in an office/workshop with access to pen/paper/computers/tools but no internet 4) Task them with decoding the record and report what they find in it
