After Ustrax posted a link to the outstanding 1979 by the Smashing Pumpkins over in the Pioneer thread, it seems appropriate to start a thread for our favorite tunes. This one is by Sarah Bareilles, who may just be the next Roberta Flack or Carly Simon....nice sound, nice lyrics, not trivial.

...but the best 'space related' tune/video is the 60 second spot that Sony aired during the 2003 Super Bowl.
(Sony also test-aired it for one day in one market around Thanksgiving 2002 and were inundated with requests to buy the song) Space tourism had just started with Dennis Tito. Then Lance Bass was publicly toying with the idea of plunking down $20 million for a ride to the ISS with the Russians. Well, judge for yourself; the singer is Alana Davis and the song is an updated version of the Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young classic. 'Carry On" (iTunes has it for a buck) This is the only place on the web I could find the video.... http://www.slate.com/?id=2074094 cheers, -------------------- CLA CLL

Only place I could find it, and sorry for the anime video.
I've Been Waiting for Tomorrow (All of My Life) by The The...a song many of us late Baby Boomers can relate to...listen for the muted rocket launches and fake radio transmissions. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Okay, you asked for it...
(The "whooshing" noise you just heard was Stu's credibility flying out of the nearest window... can't be helped, love the track, and in the vid Sheila B looks like Col Wilma Deering from 'Buck Rogers in the 25th Century'... oh, ok, just me then...!) "Spacer" - Sheila B Devotion (and yes, those are the members of Chic in the vid...) ... and rather less, um, well, you know... "The Tide Is Turning" - Roger Waters Genius... "Sleeping Satellite" - Tasmin Archer Listen to the words guys... "Stones In The Road" - Mary Chapin Carpenter. ... and current fave, "Human (Martha Jones)" -------------------- |

Well, Stu, I was gonna go ahead & shoot my credibility out of a cannon by posting something from my all-time favorite band, The Tubes c. late '70s, but can't find anything suitable for general audiences even on YouTube...

Sleeping Satellite - one of my all time favorites! I remember first hearing it on the Xmas '92 Top of the Pops TV show on my then-new NICAM digital stereo VCR (quite a novel thing back then). It's a shame YouTube doesn't support stereo sound... I don't listen to much music these days, but I do very much like the voice of Hayley Westenra. No, I'm not a classical music snob; to prove it, I quite liked this astrophotography video.

QUOTE (Juramike @ Apr 26 2008, 03:35 PM)  Frenetic...ubercool!!!! Re the quiz, let's see: Both Voyagers, one of the Lunokods, Pioneer Venus, Mariner 9, three of the original Mercury flights, Pioneer 9(?), and what looked like Orbiting Solar Observatory (OSO) 7. I'm sure that's not even half, though; amazing video! EDIT: Well, hell, I had to look at it again, of course. Make that five of the original Mercury flights, Buzz Aldrin suited up for Apollo 11, a traverse during Apollo 15 (Dave Worden?), and one of the Vikings approaching Mars, along with some Soviet MSF footage I can't identify. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Just a couple more...
"Whenever I Fall" - Crowded House "Moorlough Shore" - Caroline LaVelle "Forget The Few" - Caroline LaVelle ... and for all you Star Wars kids, a classic. If you don't smile when this tune starts, well, the Dark Side has already claimed you...

Disco Star Wars?!?! Hate to say it, but in 1979 I would've been one of the first to jump into an Empire Tai fighter to kill it (but my tastes have matured since then.)
 And, in case there's any doubt at all that I'm an old fart, here's a nice little live piece by Steely Dan: My Old School.

I was 12 and devouring everything even remotely related to SW. Remember listening to that theme on Radio Luxembourg, over a radio hidden under my pillow when I should have been sleeping, and wondering when I'd actually get to see the film itself... (cue Hovis theme...)

My favorite band around then was the Dead Kennedys (leavened by The Tubes), so my head was in a very different place. Guess I'm proud to say that I was the first kid in my high school to be suspended for wearing a 'Disco Sucks' T-shirt...
Hell of it is, now I actually like disco. Suppose I'd've liked it in my teens if I had the faintest conception of how to dance & meet women... ...pretty hard to find a girl that wants to dance to this (turn up the volume!)
