The thread is: What do space aliens think of modern music? so, according to the title, I'd say
I'd suppose, if they visited our planet 1000 years ago, then 150 years ago, and, at last, now (each time having listening to the inhabitants music), then they could say: While our 1st visit they were still wild, 2nd time they were civilized, and 3d time they're becoming wild again

Naah, I'm basically on the southside of the Tennessee river... Just a couple hours from Nashville. All we have to worry about up here is tornadoes and occasional flood rains. My ship is built for that

Well, I'm really into UFOs, and I have an amusing story, and you can file it in the Believe it or not file:)
This guy was giving a lecture, and swore he met some folks from the Pleiades, though they looked like us, they were aliens.
Yes! In music, there is hope. By the arts are we civilized. We settle our predatory instincts, calm our inner voice, perceive and conceive ideas of peaceful coexistence, cooperation, coordination to create music. We take what is in children, born in them, existing whether it is written on paper or taught, and give them means to develop their indulgence in it, that they may be civil and compatible in the world with others. I just heard some high school bands playing superlative music about a week ago, and it was my pleasure, and I think theirs.
Так! У музиці є надія. Завдяки мистецтву ми цивілізовані. Ми вгамовуємо свої хижацькі інстинкти, заспокоюємо свій внутрішній голос, сприймаємо та зароджуємо ідеї мирного співіснування, співпраці, координації для створення музики. Ми беремо те, що є в дітях, народжене в них, існуюче незалежно від того, чи це написано на папері, чи навчено, і даємо їм засоби для розвитку їхньої поблажливості до цього, щоб вони могли бути доброзичливими та сумісними у світі з іншими. Тиждень тому я щойно почув, як деякі старшокласні гурти грають чудову музику, і я отримав задоволення, і я думаю, що вони. Будь у безпеці, Алек. Tak! U muzytsi ye nadiya. Zavdyaky mystetstvu my tsyvilizovani. My vhamovuyemo svoyi khyzhatsʹki instynkty, zaspokoyuyemo sviy vnutrishniy holos, spryymayemo ta zarodzhuyemo ideyi myrnoho spivisnuvannya, spivpratsi, koordynatsiyi dlya stvorennya muzyky. My beremo te, shcho ye v dityakh, narodzhene v nykh, isnuyuche nezalezhno vid toho, chy tse napysano na paperi, chy navcheno, i dayemo yim zasoby dlya rozvytku yikhnʹoyi poblazhlyvosti do tsʹoho, shchob vony mohly buty dobrozychlyvymy ta sumisnymy u sviti z inshymy. Tyzhdenʹ tomu ya shchoyno pochuv, yak deyaki starshoklasni hurty hrayutʹ chudovu muzyku, i ya otrymav zadovolennya, i ya dumayu, shcho vony. Budʹ u bezpetsi, Alek.
There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com
Not all that hard to believe that everybody including aliens from the Pleiedes Cluster like Jazz Pat But it does beg more questions
Did he actually take a survey? Was there a particular style of jazz they liked best? Do they really understand funk? Have they visited Congo Square or Preservation Hall?
So many questions, so few aliens to ask

"Defeatist Pessimists and Rose Colored Glasses Optimists are lonely companions, victims even. Both ideologies imply predestined outcomes, and therefore breed inactivity in its victims. Inaction is the only sure way to lose at anything in life. All positive action guarantees at least a fighting chance." -Brian Austin Whitney
