Music to listen to when launching rockets

[Phoenix Aerospace]

Step aside.

-Sitting on the pad/takeoff-

-Orbit-

...or... (cliché, I know, but it goes well w. dockings)

-Reentry-

[Lord Wasteland]

Don\'t Stop Me Now.

Rocket Man.

Enough said.

[Katalliaan]

For launches:

Can\'t go wrong with Tom Lehrer.

[Pluto100]

Amazing stuff!

[A Fat Pokemon]

You can find a much cleaner album version on Youtube, but this is a great song by a great band.

Good song, but I had to laugh when he started waving his arms around

[Randox]

I started off with Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf (from star trek first contact of course). Normally though, I just play my favourite list on Youtube, or I listen to hybrid (I choose noise album). Off my favorite list, I\'d pick these as my top 4 launch songs right now, in no particular order.

And an honorable mention to Bumpy Ride by Mohombi, which would be number 5, but my post is big enough.

I should make a launch playlist. Might pick some different songs.

Sorry for necro-ing an old thread. But it\'s sooo good! And, having just found this again, thought I\'d share it with you all.

So many good songs. I prefer 'Turn to Stone' for the most part in KSP.

Woot! I like 'Mr. Blue Sky' And 'Twilight'. I have never heard of those songs! I\'ll have to look.

[Cthulufaic]

It\'s like a techno-orchestra, it has just enough organ(I think) to smooth out the flow between the drums and the (I assume) keyboard.

[Bioman222]

My playlist would go like this:

The 2001: Space Odyssey theme

Launch/ on pad

Blue Danube

EVA/orbit

2 Steps from Hell\'s Heart of Courage

Moon landings (Mun/Minmus, if i do one)

The Final Countdown

Deorbit/Reentry

If someone made this a playlist for me, you\'d be honored by BSP

I will see what I can do! I\'ll try to make it!

Mr. Blue Sky was on an episode of Dr. Who. So, now I don\'t hear it in the normal way; it\'s actually about The Doctor. I went looking for the song, and found Steppin\' Out alongside it. Serendipity!

What episode? Hahahaha XD! I wonder how that happened!

Season 2 (new series, of course) Love & Monsters, right around 26:00, just for a moment. Earlier in the episode, the little group plays Don\'t Bring Me Down (badly) just for fun.

I usually just listen to my normal playlist.

If you want content-centered music, I listen to this on occasion:

I\'ll have to watch that one! Thanks!

[Professor Duck]

As a musician and music teacher/band director, allow me to make the following recommendations:

- Short Ride in a Fast Machine by John Adams

- Twelve Seconds to the Moon by Robert W. Smith (not the best recording, but the only professional one on youtube is in 2 parts)

For a more hopeful pilot,

Dance of the Tumblers by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov

For those big, lumbering rockets that take off slow and eventually get too fast to handle, there\'s

Russian Sailor\'s Dance by Reinhold Gliere

12 Comedian\'s Gallop from The Comedians by Kabalevsky Gallop from The Comedians Dmitry Kabalevsky

Then you have perennial favorites like Rossini\'s William Tell Overture, Rimsky-Korsakov\'s Flight of the Bumblebee (for those short flights), and Saber Dance by Aram Khachaturian.

For any other classical-esque recommendations, feel free to ask 8)

[Pluto100]

Those are awesome!

[cardgame]

You really can\'t go wrong with

[Cthulufaic]

All of the songs here are awesome!

[Professor Duck]

Part 2, because I left off some really sweet pieces.

Ride by Samuel Hazo (for a more jazzy rocket engineer)

Vesuvius - Frank Ticheli Vesuvius by Frank Ticheli

Inferno from The Divine Comedy by Robert W. Smith

Gandalf from Sinfonia No. 1: The Lord of the Rings by Johan de Meij (written in 1988)

Check out my first post for other great classical pieces! 8)
