Nothing drives me crazier than questions regarding desert island albums.

I know 4 non-Beatle tracks that would make the cut:

Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan
That's All Right (Mama) - Elvis Presley
Good Vibrations - Beach Boys
I Can't Get No (Satisfaction) - The Rolling Stones

As for the Beatles, Strawberry Fields Forever (give the aliens the MONO version)

I think maybe A Day In The Life.

It combines some psychadelia, a bit of ballad (remember the long 'aaaaaaaah's), some catchy beat, and it ends in gibberish.

I reckon Revolution #9  should be loaded into that pod and shot at our alien fiends! Yes, fiends!! LOL!

Seriously though, In My Life would be my first choice - or maybe the whole Rubber Soul LP - loud-cut mono version of course! :)

A Day In The Lostio? I feel honoured. ;D

And yes, maybe Revolution 9 should have the chance to be shot to the alien mates. That really would capture their attention...

Great responses folks!  I have to say I was torn between Day In The Life and Penny Lane of all songs.  Day In The Life has a lot of twists and turns and is drop dead heartbreaking in certain parts but Penny Lane has a lot of what they were about in a shorter song.

It has the horns, a great beat and the harmonies between John and Paul are outstanding which I always felt was a key to thier sound overall.

So I guess I'm going with Penny Lane.

Is There Anybody Out There?-Floyd


I Think penny Lane is a good choice, its got the lighthearted poppyness and catchy harmonies of their early work, combined with some psychadelic imagery.  Or Day in the Life i guess

Is There Anybody Out There? and Space Oddity are fine choices but I was referring mainly to the song that would represent The Beatles.

But by all means expand this if you choose to include other acts...I just wanted to make sure there wasn't any confusion.

Carry on!

A Day in the Life. It's got both John and Paul doing their thing and it's just amazing. Hey, couldn't a whole album go in the time capsule!! That would be easy. I'd say the White Album cuz it's got so much variety. But then Sgt. Pepper is supposed to be the ultimate. Sorry, off topic.

I think we were just using those titles due to their dealing with Aliens/life in space.  I certainly wouldnt put Is There Anybody Out There in the capsule, its got liike 1 lyric

I'd pick A Day in the Life for The Beatles song. Of course,I'd also include Imagine,Maybe I'm Amazed,My Sweet Lord,and It Don't Come Easy.

 "She Loves You" because it presents a fresh, new look at the "Beatles" for anyone who has never heard them before! Because we have so many songs to look back on you have to approach it from the view you have never heard them before and this is the first time! Now listen to She Loves You and tell me it would be like Who the hell is this I've nerver heard a band like this before! The harmony, music, the "Beatle" sound!
