Determine astronauts' playlists

We've seen iPods go into space before. That's cool and all, but wouldn't it be cooler to determine what the astronauts actually listen to out there? The European Space Agency (ESA) wants to make that happen.

The task is simple: Think of the ten songs you would want to hear if you were on the International Space Station (ISS), and write them down. The ESA will declare one list the winner, load it onto an iPod and send that iPod to the ISS via their brand new
Automated Transfer Vehicle (it will be the vehicle's maiden voyage, in fact) later this year. In addition, the winner will travel to Kourou, French Guiana (South America) to watch the ATV launch.

Check out the complete rules here. Good luck.
