bmk1245 Posted December 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I have this "what if" nagging idea: you have to leave Earth, and you can take only three music tracks. Hmmm... What you'll choose? After some thinking, I came up with: 1) AC/DC - Live Wire; 2) AC/DC - Carry Me Home; 3) Accept - Princess of the Down. What you would choose? Remember, just 3 tracks, no more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orphalesion Posted December 24, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Leaving Earth....for what though? Endlessly traveling through space alone? Or to found a colony on some other planet? Because that'd influence the answer. Since there's no way I'd leave Earth to travel space all alone, I'll just go with the "colony" scenario. 1)Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights 2)Mike Oldfield/Maggie Rylie - Moonlight Shadow (the extended version) 3)Panic! At the Disco - Northern Downpour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlitterRose Posted December 24, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Three tracks. Geez...even an 8-track had 8. If we're leaving Earth to travel space, I'd hope we'd have better tech than that. But ok...I'll try. Black Sabbath...Black Sabbath Ugh, this is difficult. Led Zeppelin...Black Dog AC/DC...Let There Be Rock I just gotta go classic with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV-426 Posted December 27, 2017 #13 Share Posted December 27, 2017 It's impossible to pick favourites, so I figure I'd be smart about this... While you folks are all staring forlornly at your spaceship's dashboard, lamenting the fact that NASA forgot to include a "repeat" button on your player, I'm rockin' out into the cosmos I'm working on hitting an hour. Might have to switch in a bit of Led Zep 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor wu Posted December 31, 2017 #16 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Three tracks...? Would have been better to say 3 albums/cd's......but. I'm an old guy so here goes,,,, Ralph Vaughn Williams - Fantasia On A Theme by Thomas Tallis (or something by Bach.- Brandenburg Concerto or Mozart- Symphony 40...) King Crimson- In The Court of the Crimson King Beatles- A Day In The Life... or......9 Feet Underground by Caravan wow....really tough to choose......

R. Evans Posted January 1, 2018 #17 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Extremely hard but here goes: Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Cowgirl In The Sand Yes - Starship Trooper Those are the songs that would go at this moment but the list is subject to change by the minute.

GlitterRose Posted January 1, 2018 #22 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I also wished it would have been albums and not tracks. It's the sort of thing where you look at other people's lists and go...whew...at least someone else is taking that. Even though it's all hypothetical, you breathe a sigh of relief.

Essan Posted January 1, 2018 #25 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Just 3 tracks is almost impossible, but if forced ... 1. Thick as a Brick - Jethro Tull (thats over 40 minutes to start with ) 2, Empire of the Clouds - Iron Maiden (nearly another 20 minutes ) and finally, a song I doubt anyone else here will have heard of, a cover by an old friend from lochailort of a song originally recorded by Tony Joe White, and only 6 minutes long ... 3. Closer to the Truth - Jim Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
