Ok, confession time. I love music more than your average person. Anyway, I thought of a song for all of you in the 44th that I think is relevant. Its the Black Crowes (my favorite band) doing the Joe Cocker classic, Space Captain. Enjoy!
Nice! My tip for our fleet anthem;
It cost me the 1990s to get over the 1980s with its bad hair and shoulder pads fashion, but our affable fleet snowman @Akula 😀 had to reactivate that nightmarish period by recalling “Major Tom” from Peter Schilling.
The original German version is of course far superior (and was a big hit here in Holland too), but the ’80s “Major Tom” has that cringing, toe curling, hair-raising awefullness that has that peculiar charm. Best enjoyed with friends during a Romulan Ale induced sing-along.

A revamped modernized version by… uh, who…?

And of course: a Shatner version! 😀 (Warning, will cause nightmares and other discomforts)
"Boldly bashing Borg to bits since 2012..."I couldn’t make myself watch the Shatner version but the best version is Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield preformed on the ISS

Different song, right? And re: 80’s music – HAHA I just saw The Molly Ringwalds at the HOB good time!

And if you don’t, it’s now burned into your brain and slowly taking over 🙂 Also you’re welcome lol
my wife really like the Black Crowes. the only band i have seen 3 times in concert. i will get her to play that for me.
I can listen to a lot of different kinds of music (from electronic music and pop, all the way to black metal :mrgreen:), but I’m mostly into rock and metal. One of my favorite bands is Running Wild (German pirate metal). Two years ago I was on Iron Maiden concert and it was great 😀 (would be better if I was able to acquire tickets for a place closer to stage, but it was ok considering the low price I payed
). And while I do love some of STO’s music (especially that main theme which is awesome), I do like from time and time put some of my own song into music player.An example of a perfect song for heavy fight in STO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yHuuBZgif0
My tastes were largely formed in the 90’s — I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s, but not much of the music then really got to me. I’m actually going to see my first live music in probably about ten years in April, when Sleater-Kinney comes to town.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QBa5U3RSqYLately, it seems like almost every band that really grabs my attention is a duo with (mostly) female vocals, including:
Phantogram: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur17pfjIRVo
Tennis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA4W3YRZqPA
Sleigh Bells: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiwcUdX7XMw
Purity Ring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmRraoL9v7kA couple that I’ve recently come to enjoy that don’t fit this pattern are:
Cayucas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io8PqddrRIs
Dum Dum Girls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDYRQX6FPQQI also use soundcloud to just check out the new stuff from artists I like, in this case Armin van Buuren.

"Boldly bashing Borg to bits since 2012..."Music? Yes, please. It depends on my mood, life situation I’m currently in, etc. It can really bring me to magical places and I like to give myself to it.
These days I’m on Nick Drake for example:

Do any of you use 8tracks? Kind of like a streaming radio app, except instead of being algorithm-driven, people essentially create mix tapes on the site, and you listen to those. It’s no turntable.fm, which sadly died a year or two ago, but it’s pretty good for getting an idea of somebody’s tastes and doing some music discovery.
STO song? Here’s a real oddity the even the CRTC would approve of. It’s a bit of Canadiana recorded live in 1976 by FM. I’m not even sure what you would call this but I’ll go with prog rock/electronica. The mandolin player is Nash the Slash without bandages. I was surprised to hear that he had died last year. Oh, the music; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY9NVFhZlkg FM, Phasors on Stun.
