Astronaut Mark Watney's (The Martian) playlist - 8 tracks for the eternity

Recommended Posts

A funny detal of "The Martian" is his playlist for the eternity:

1 Turn the Beat Around by Vicki Sue Robinson
2 Hot Stuff by Donna Summer
3 Rock the Boat by The Hues Corporation
4 Don't Leave Me This Way (Single Version) by Thelma Houston
5 Starman (2012 Remastered Version) by David Bowie
6 Waterloo by ABBA
7 Love Train by The O'Jays
8 I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor

Not much, considering the playlist you can have even currently on an audio player with the size of a credit card and 128 Gb of stroring space. If you are prepared to spend the rest of your life out of this world, you can carry with you quite a lot of music on this device. Well, he had no choice.

So I started to think about this. Let's presume I actually had the choice to select 8 tracks, what would be my choice? May I tell you, choice is not easy. As much a you may like a tune, would you like to listen it the rest of yout life? So I made this list. Maybe tomorrow I would change my mind but today is:
Jailhouse Rock by Elvis Presley
Pretty Woman by Roy Orbinson
White House by Eric Claptom & Cream
The Hustle by Van McCoy
Heart of Glass by Blondie
Hands Up by Ottawan
California Girls by David Lee Roth
The Fear by Lily Allen

 

What would be YOUR choice if you were limited just to 8 tracks, as Astronaut Mark Watney?
