I mean, they did do that, include samples from many different cultures around the world, it’s just that I think 3 of Bach’s numbers and 2 of Beethoven’s is overkill. There’s more music out there.

3 Bach and 2 Beethoven, make it one each and now there’s 3 spots for Asia, Africa, and Native populations.

I know it has more, but it has a bias to who made the golden record. Trust me, I’ve been a space/Star Trek nerd since my youth. I know what’s on there. I even have a replica of what’s on it on a vinyl record.

  I’m not saying you don’t know what’s on there, but your comments kinda make you sound like someone who doesn’t know what’s on there.
  
  include more stuff from the nations of Africa, Asia, South America, and some stuff from the native people of Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the Americas.
  
  There literally is stuff from all of those places.
  
  You could argue that Bach and Beethoven are over-represented, but I’m sure that a great deal of consideration and deliberation was devoted to deciding what to include.

    Yes, I want more from there. More stuff is what I wrote.
