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?

Most of that music wasn't contemporary.

Rite of Spring, El Cascabel, Johnny B. Goode, Melancholy Blues, and Dark Was The Night date from the same century; I can't figure out if the Japanese piece does or not.

Everything else seems to be much older.

I was going to say that we'd be more likely to send something more provably enduring from living artists, and I was about to name Prince and Bowie, but, alas.

Shhh... we don't want to provoke them...
