I couldn't help eavesdropping on this one. 😉

First, Dean, Airplane or Starship? There's probably as many people on each side of that one as there are Trekkies vs. Trekkers...or tastes great vs. less filling... 😉 Me, I love Grace Slick...she was awesome at Woodstock...but I prefer Starship...we built this city 🎶

I wasn't familiar with the one you started this thread so I looked it up on YouTube. I much prefer Styx...for aliens, Come Sail Away...for robots, Mr. Roboto. I love robots. But I digress...since I'm human, not alien, I like the thought that they'd come down to earth like they did in Close Encounters and offer to take me with them for a ride. 😊 But then again I do love Blondie's Rapture. 😍 David Bowie is also good for outer space (Starman, Space Oddity...also Peter Schilling's follow-up, Major Tom). But I digress again...

The Stones are awesome but I'd be very hard pressed to come up with favorites. I could never quite get into Yes, though there were probably a couple songs of theirs I liked. Loved the Moody Blues...breathe deep the gathering gloom; watch lights fade from every room... Gordon Lightfoot was and is SO cool. If you could read my mind love, what a tale my thoughts would tell...Sundown you better take care; If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs...and my favorite...The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down; Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee; Superior, they said, never gives up her dead; When the gales of November come early...

Solon: you mentioned Bach but I'm blanking on who you mean.

Of course, I love the Beatles and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was a great song. I believe the official John Lennon explanations for the song: his son Julian's drawing and Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. They were great at Psychedelia, as were many others artists in the 60s. I'm a big fan of the Monkees and if you want to really get trippy, you should check out some of their more psychedelic songs: Shorty Blackwell, Porpoise Song, Auntie's Municipal Court, Daily Nightly. Seriously trippy stuff.

And as Dean already knows, I love the Dr. Demento stuff. He-he. Felt it worth the mention here. 😊

I could go on and on and on...but I'll wait for guys to catch up and continue a direction for this mad, trippy trip down the rabbit hole...
