Imagine this scenario. You’ve been transported back to the late 1800’s. You’re dressed in modern day attire, armed with only a giant boom box, a load of batteries and a couple of CD’s. What band or album would you play that would send the good folk running for hills, thinking you might be the Antichrist?
Ministry – Filth Pig – not their greatest piece of work by any stretch but it had virtually the same effect in 1996.
Skinny Puppy – VIVIsectVI
mustang_girlie – Great call. You bust out the Too Fast For Love album, I can guarantee that would work with the song Piece of Your Action blasting. 
Us as One – Slayer, yes!
Tesla Girl – I said scare the good folk, not drive them to contemplate ending the human race in order to prevent future generations from suffering the scourge of emo.
the buffster – Good point, a giant loud boom box in and of itself would be damn intimidating. The music could well just be icing on the cake. And we already know everyone in R&P loves cake.
The Trooper – Glad you mentioned NIN. I wanted to, but it’s becoming very predictable on my part.
Steve B – That’s true, they were quite the jittery bunch to begin with.
BikiniQueen – I really dig Within Temptation, nice!
Jake Rulez d00d™ – Thanks, Jake!
guardgirl94 – Some of those bands might have me running for the hills and where I live things are flat. Guess I’ll have a long jog.
Yertle the Turtle. – Of course, we could send along Britney in the time machine and that would work too. Crazy people are very scary.
Prof – Hey, buddy! Glad you realized you’ll always be the Prof. Yes, the Broken EP is perfect. I’m actually in the mood to hear it right now, even without the pitchfork.
GK Dub – They might end up liking The Beatles. Manson would more than do the trick.
mrbernstein – LOL, now I’m terrified, HELP!!!!
jennifer a – I forgot there was once a time you could understand what Ozzy was saying. Sharon and their ugly kids could also shock them.
MachPen*´`*•.¸¸ – ROFL!! Now that’s a concert event I’d like to attend. And you know the beard is way hot.
hedZy – Thanks, hedZy. Looks like our CD collection will be well stocked, let’s hope we don’t run out of batteries anytime soon.
rckets, I think that just having a boom box would do it! But instead of thinking along today’s terms of what would be shocking, I think that I’d stay with the "futuristic" theme of the boom box and play "Autobahn" by Kraftwerk. It’s musical enough to have the 1800’s folk relate that it IS music, but electronic so that the sounds heard would be thought of as other-worldly. I’d be afraid that with no context to some of the harder sounds, they might think that other offerings would just be babbling prattle and not have the desired effect.
