The 23 Greatest Sci-Fi Songs of All Time
Good sci-fi stories can easily be found in movies, TV, books and video games, but what about music? Not just theme songs for the above, but songs that create a new futuristic or alien world in three-to-five minutes and let the narrative unfold? We searched the galaxies – OK, we mostly just asked you on Facebook and Twitter – for the very best sci-fi songs musicdom has to offer. The following 23 songs tell tales of woe, wonder and alien love. And there will be robots.
23. Daft Punk – “We Will Robot Rock You”

22. Elton John – “Rocket Man”
Album: Honky Château
Starring: The rocket man
