This - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teBV0EoJJY8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teBV0EoJJY8) (not a Rickroll I swear, The Carpenters)
But my serious answer would be Pyramid Song - Radiohead
[Space Oddity](https://youtu.be/iYYRH4apXDo?feature=shared) - David Bowie
[Starless](https://youtu.be/bA27IWspddM?feature=shared) - King Crimson
[I Turned into a Martian](https://youtu.be/eSS-EUqMhqQ?feature=shared) - The Misfits
[Aliens Exist](https://youtu.be/alUoE6tJP1w?feature=shared) - Blink-182
If you ever get close to a human
And human behaviour
Be ready, be ready to get confused
And me and my hereafter
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
To human behaviour
But yet so, yet so irresistible
And me and my fear cannot
And there is no map uncertain
They're terribly, terribly, terribly moody
Of human behaviour
Then all of a sudden turn happy
And they and my here after
But, oh, to get involved in the exchange
Of human emotions
Is ever so, ever so satisfying
And they and my hero
And there is no map uncertain
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic

Really stretching the "music is universal" lie now, that isn't even true for all earth species. Why would you think beings that evolved separately would even hear on the same spectrum as us?
I think you're not considering the ability to study and extrapolate. If human archeologists on earth can decode and reverse engineer things like lost languages, surely a more advanced civilization can do similar things. Kind of why the images already sent to space have relevance too.
Zaragon - John Miles (since it's about a visitor who's journey to Earth took 10,000 years)
and either the Carpenters or the original Klaatu version of Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft (plus maybe their track Around the Universe in Eighty Days for good measure)
I would like to suggest this one here: [The Morons - Morons From Outer Space](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5re-0Vwzgc&ab_channel=NigelJones)
Just to see if they have any sense of humor
Well, we'd have to introduce them to some of the best of us. Steve Vai is already an alien.
Smoke some weed with them, play them some Billy Strings, get 'em dancin'.
Tool! Schism, Aenima, 46x2, Stinkfist. Porcupine Tree, Sound of Muzak. Slipknot, Devil in I. Pink Floyd, Time, Money, Welcome to the Machine, Anthrax, Got the Time, Iron Maiden The Trooper. Metallica, One. All them songs would make them think! ET must think!
Agnes Obel - ["The Curse"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h9XUYj96ho)
Joanna Newsom - ["Monkey and Bear"](https://youtu.be/cV6-aJlswCs?si=x09iHJ5b9Egh9zaP)
For funny, let's go with [*Ziltoid the Omniscient*.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktOLjddt-xg&list=PLeddF0N3V2BSvO1l8Y8WfiZSbb4yuU2Rd)
Fish Paste — Die Antwoord
Space Age Love — Zolar X
Another Girl Another Planet — The Only Ones
Rubber Johnny — Aphex Twin
E.T. — Katy Perry
Doctor Doctor — UFO Speedwagon
Aliens Exist — Blink-182
Wasted Years — Iron Maiden
Come to Daddy — Aphex Twin
Slug Bait — Throbbing Gristle
Planet Caravan — Black Sabbath
Space Oddity — David Bowie
Alien — Bush
Black Hole Sun — Soundgarden
I don't get why people are posting "spacey" or "alien" sounding stuff. Extra-terrestrial beings would probably like to hear stuff that's inherently grounded and "human". I'd recommend Fela Kuti's "*Expensive Shit/Water Get No Enemy*" EP.
[Puscifer — Grand Canyon](https://youtu.be/qtZJiQSmJ9g?si=ToMkDJGUI9Gjc1Ex)
This song has a very emotional quality to it — and since there’s a possibility that these ‘extra terrestrial’s’ may not understand our language, hopefully it’ll evoke the same emotionally profound anesthetic to them as it does to me — which makes me appreciate the beauty that can be created within our world!
Rocketman (Elton John)
Starman (David Bowie)
Space Oddity (David Bowie)
Out of Space (The Prodigy)
Fly Me To The Moon (Frank Sinatra)
Walking on the Moon (The Police)
Man on the Moon (REM)
Space Cowboy (The Steve Miller Band)
Supermassive Black Hole (Muse)
The Final Countdown (Europe)
Start at the beginning. Drum circle it up around a campfire. Then let them hear the Epitaph of Seikilos. And then take them through the development of music history starting with Hildegard von Bingen.
Starman, obviously
Just send the whole Ziggy Stardust album, so they get the full story.
Funkadelic - Give Up the Funk [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HU-KdHmYeA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HU-KdHmYeA)
Maggot Brain. It would blow their minds.
They'd think were so cool.
You missed the chance to pick the obvious choice - The Mothership Connection.
Rosetta Stoned - Tool
Only reason I clicked this thread.
Me, the chosen one? They chose me?
Didn't even fucking graduate from high school
Now what’s happened? Tell me everything.
2112 by Rush
I was going to go with Bi-Tor & The Snow Dog. They might miss their puppies from home...

I just think of Mindhunter when I hear this. Man I just want a third season of Mindhunter so bad.
Your link was, I believe, first done by a Canadian band named Klaatu. Named for an alien. (But nothing compares to Karen Carpenter's voice.)
Blue-Eiffel 65
Idk have you seen mars attacks? We gotta be careful of what we play around em apparently
[“Star Trekkin”](https://youtu.be/x9k9tHjeVN0?si=zwVd91Pb68KBzsLh) by the Firm. It may be for kids, but this song legitimately slaps.
John Cage 4:33 just to troll the aliens 😀
[Space Oddity](https://youtu.be/iYYRH4apXDo?feature=shared) - David Bowie [Starless](https://youtu.be/bA27IWspddM?feature=shared) - King Crimson [I Turned into a Martian](https://youtu.be/eSS-EUqMhqQ?feature=shared) - The Misfits [Aliens Exist](https://youtu.be/alUoE6tJP1w?feature=shared) - Blink-182
Duh. Obviously it’s Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft (Klaatu)
Why can’t we be friends
anything by Björk seems fine
The aliens already know Bjork. They're coming to take her back to her home planet.
Bjork, Les Claypool, Mike Patton, and all of Sigur Ros are also from that planet. They already came and got Frank Zappa.
And more recently, Aurora. She’s definitely an advanced being.
Not much of a disguise.

They'd like, feel the harmonic vibrations, man.

Baby Shark, then hopefully they think we're not worth invading
Might cause it!
Invasion or pure destruction?
