Space is the Place: Top 10 Songs About Spaceships, Space Travel, and Astro-Travelers

Attention passengers, this is your captain speaking. Fasten your seat belts and prepare for a journey, an odyssey if you will, into the unknown. The abyss. Space. What awaits us? We can't be sure, for we are the pioneers. You are Lewis and Clark and I am Pocahontas, here to be the guiding light for your expedition. Or at least to bang the proverbial drum. If you are ready, please place your space-buds into your ear-sockets so we can begin. Here are the top 10 songs for your mission:

1. "Space Oddity" - David Bowie
2. "Planet Caravan" - Black Sabbath
3. "Elektronik-Supersonik" - Zlad
4. "Silver Machine" - Hawkwind
5. "Tapestry From An Asteroid" - Sun Ra
6. "Rocket Man" - Elton John
7. "Spaceman" - Harry Nilsson
8. "Interstellar Overdrive" - Pink Floyd
9. "Fly Me To The Moon" - Stan Getz & Astrud Gilberto
10. "Major Tom (Coming Home)" - Peter Schilling

Honorable Mentions:
Not a song about space, but the badass video suggests otherwise - Smash Pums
