yeah, tonnes of Bowie stuff would fit. The albums “Diamond Dogs” and “The Rise and Fall of the Spiders from Mars” are pretty much sci-fi stories in themselves (and have loads of great tunes on them)
King Crimson, maybe, or Robin Trower? Uriah Heep? (I spent most of my youth in a fantasy land of sorts ;), so I could be totally off the mark.)
Dammit! I just squeegeed that phrase out of my brain after Asimovian’s birthday thread, and now I’ll have to start all over. I think this time I’ll sing the Gilligan’s Island theme song to the tune of “Amazing Grace,” or vice versa.
Rush’s new album, “Clockwork Angels” is a concept album set in a Streampunk world. Of course Rush has lots of Sci-fi/fantasy themed work. Oh lets see… By-Tor and the Snowdog, Rivendell, The Necromancer, The Fountain of Lamneth, the previously mentioned 2112, Cygnus x-1, Hemispheres, Countdown (science fact, not fiction), and probably others that are slipping my mind right now.
Songs:
“'39” by Queen
“Beautiful Zelda” by the Bonzo Dog Band
“Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft” by Klaatu (though the Carpenters do a nice version, too).
