I seem to have missed the initiation of this thread--is it focusing only
on SF-oriented songs by mainstream rock bands? If so, how about the
Byrds', "Hey, Mr. Spaceman?" an early comic turn on the
abductee/volunteer theme. And Frank Zappa's "Inca Roads" a commentary on
Chariots of the Gods-type archaeological interpretation. David Bowie
would deserve a page of his own. If we're also looking a bit off the
beaten path, check out anything put out by the venerable English
Psy(fi)chedelic band Hawkwind and its many offshoots (Captain Lockeed &
the Starfighters being my favorite), virtually all of which is SF
oriented and/or derived.
