What is on the astonishing ipod?

[cramx3]

Astonishing spoilers below...


So we all know in The Astonishing that Faythe finds her father's old "digital music player" which I will call the ipod.  There are thousands of songs on this.  What songs do you think Lord Nafaryus (and his father) and Faythe have been listening to all these years?

My immediate thought was "Brave New World" from Iron Maiden

[Progmetty]

I was thinking about that earlier haha, let's see:
Dream Theater's Discography, Liquid Tension Experiment albums, JP and Rudess Evening With album and of course the album that inspired her the most: Suspended Animation.

1. 2112 by Rush

2. Footloose OST

3. Jesus Christ Superstar

[MirrorMask]

This could have actually be a nice What If scenario... music can be stored and digitalized, how many of it will be around and what will be lost to the masses in the coming centuries? modern music is only decades old, half of the Beatles are still alive, but in 300 or 500 years, how much the importance of the "founding fathers" will still be present? how will heavy metal evolve and will people know that Iron Maiden and Metallica sold out stadiums? whatever rocker will come out of the US east coast, someone will say "450 years ago there was this Bruce Springsteen dude that did the same things"?

The examples could be endless... with platforms like Spotify evolving and possibly existing "forever", will people be interested in checking out David Bowie and Queen half a millennium from now?

Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack, obviously.

[Zook]

Adrenaline Mob

Dream Theater's Discography

She knew to show up to Heaven's Cove early so that Daryus would stab her instead of Gabriel!

[RoadTrain_of Thought]

Raw Dog

[TioJorge]

It's all the soundtracks to the Final Fantasy games and Nefaryus would listen to these as he was conquering lands.

Alexander the Great, except he would sing it "Nafaryus the great"

Crossroads sessions featuring Taylor Swift and the NOMACs

I actually think the nomac tracks got better as the album went on

Can't forget Jordan's solo albums too!

[erwinrafael]

Nafaryus was moved by When The Time Has Come, so I woukd say AOR, glam and hair metal. And lots of Queen.

[jjfumbly]

The Winery Dogs maybe

[Darkstarshades]

What did NOMAC music sound like?
"Day after day..."?

[TheGreatPretender]

Nicki Minaj, Miley Cyrus, Pitbull and Lil' Wayne

[Darkstarshades]

Nicki Minaj, Miley Cyrus, Pitbull and Lil' Wayne

If it was Miley's older songs, then it would be fine.

[Mark Levinson Jr.]

I've been thinking that it's the playlist that Star Lord had on his mix tape in Guardians Of The Galaxy!

[BlobVanDam]

Winger's debut album
Metallica - St Anger
Sir Mix-A-Lot - Baby Got Back
Who Let The Dogs Out
The complete discography of Immortal

[V_R11]

Queen songs

[Accelerando]

Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack, obviously.

Hell yeah.

I'm an alligator! I'm a mama-papa coming for you!

[Train of Naught]

Yeah BVD has the only right answer, can't miss out on KIP WINGER 

[The Curious Orange]

Obviously the Les Miserables Original Cast Album.   

[Cyclopssss]

The entire discography of Blowfly.....









Yeah....naughty, I know.....

[puppyonacid]

Queen songs

I approve of this

[Chino]

He's definitely got some Styx on there.

Serious though, I really wanted it to be a plot point that the iPod would have Dream Theater music (among other stuff), and that Faythe favored them the most and they were her inspiration. It's an egotistical, narcissist, but also (in my opinion) brilliant plot twist that JP could include somewhere in Act 2 or the website.

But anyways, if we're being both serious and realistic, I assume they listened to whatever you can think of that sounds like "When Your Time Has Come"  - it should be a major point that Faythe was even more touched by Gabriel's performance because it made her iPod come alive. Also, if the music that plays in the background of each character's lines also represents its preferences (in addition to its personality), Nafaryus clearly listens to Queen or Muse.

What's next, Faythe complains to Nafaryus about the production of the drums after Mangini joined the band?  She probably loves Kevin Moore too.
