Music (classical, orchestra) or art (paintings, sculptures) would be the only two things that could impress them.

Music, certainly, because if they have the mathematics necessary to build craft to get here, they will understand it. Visual art, not so much. The Voyager Golden Record is an excellent ambassador.

You'd think with that much space to store images and whatnot in that they could have squeezed in a Where's Wally somehow though..

I bet there is something like that encoded in the disc. The trouble they had dealing with US and international politics putting that record together - the USSR wanted only Soviet Workers culture represented, thus cutting off all of their classical heritage, and the recording of the sound of a kiss was censored by a US Republican Senator in case the aliens might think it sounds like a homosexual kiss - as a compromise, it's actually one of the scientists kissing her own arm. :pac:

I would say space flight/landing on the moon. Unfortunately that may also the reason they wipe us out anyway, just in case we ask them the same question one day.
