Here’s a limited deep dive into songs about the FUTURE, incl. flying saucers, cyberpunk wastelands, space, moons, UFOs, rocket ships, astronauts, Elvis, and more.
The music is varied to say the least, from jazz to trip-hop and anything in between.
I tried to avoid the most obvious candidates, but felt it was still necessary to include Major Tom and Captain Kirk/William Shatner…
The cover is a classic case of ‘back to the future’ as it is based on the cover of an old pulp Sci-Fi magazine: Wonder Stories, from Oct. 1931, I love recycling old art!
Plus a new banner courtesy of the one and only Stinky!
ReplyDeleteQuestion: What's your favourite Sci-Fi song?

Bush - Alien, Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien, Los Supersonicos - Aloha Alien, Sean Lennon - Spaceship, Cheers! CC
ReplyDeleteGood candidates, thanks CC!
DeleteI really like K. McCarty's version of "Rocketship" (written by Daniel Johnston) and "Rocket No.9". I'm guessing that one of those candidates too obvious to include was the Legendary Stardust Cowboy: https://youtu.be/9MhbCzTqFsQ?si=lp_ZMt2VWLjccAk7
ReplyDeleteOh, and "Dan Dare" by the Mekons!
DeleteI listened to the Legendary Stardust Cowboy but he's an acquired taste...
