20th/21st century music that reminds you of Star Trek

Recommended Posts

Been wantin to make this thread for a while. I like Triple H's theme on WWE:RAW, and I picked up a copy of Wreckless Intent, and really listened to his song, "King of Kings" by Motorhead. It makes me think of the Klingons; the lyrics are really something I can see Klingons singing/chanting over Bloodwine. Consider:

 

Behold the King -

The King of Kings

 

On your knees, dog!

 

All hail...

 

Bow down to the

Bow down to the King

Bow down to the

Bow down to the King

 

The King grinned red

As he walked from the blaze

Where the traitor lost both his name and his face

Through the halls and the corridors

Stinging in blood

He tasted his grin and it tasted good

The King took his head

Left him broken and dead

 

Bow down to the

Bow down to the King

Bow down to the

Bow down to the King

Bow down to the

Bow down to the King

 

The King left none living

None able to tell

The King took their heads

And he sent them to Hell

Their screams echoed loud

In the place of their death

Ripped open they died

With their final breath

They hailed the King

The King of Kings

 

Bow down to the...

 

Especially the verses. Does that not make you think of Kahless? Especially the last one.

 

 

And then there's my favourite band, the classical-opera-metal hybrid act from Finland: Nightwish. Many of their songs are charged with the passion common among Klingon warriors, and the lyrics fit - "The Kinslayer", "End of All Hope", and "Slaying the Dreamer" to name a few.

 

 

When I think of music that reminds me of Star Trek, it's usually Klingons, not Trek as a whole, I'm thinking of. I listen to a lot of metal. So what, from your music collection, can you fit with Star Trek, and what race/character/aspect of it and why?
