So, I've created a playlist on Spotify for use whilst playing KSP.  Looking for suggestions on what to add - it starts primarily classical and moves into pop towards the end:

Blue Danube - Strauss

Main theme from 2001

Inception Trailer music (Mind Heist)

Russian National Anthem

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor - Bach

Jupiter, Planet's Suite - Holst

A cosmic kiss - Geodesium (they do music for planetariums primarily)

Outro - M83 (used in the Build,Fly,Dream video)

Sunchyme - Dario G

Hyperfun - Kevin McLeod (used by Danny / Nexter's Lab a lot)

I, Voyager - Transglobal Underground

Universe & U - KT Tunstall

Rescue Me - Fontella Bass (because every playlist can be improved with Fontella!)

Man on the Moon - REM

Ziggy Stardust - Bowie

Don't stop me now - Queen

Calling Occupants of Interplanetary craft - Carpenters

Supersonic rocket ship - Kinks

Dueling Banjos - theme from Deliverance

The space race is over - Billy Bragg

---

So what needs to be added? 

NB. I'm not including these 'cos I don't like them very much -- Intergalactic (Beastie Boys) ; Space Oddity (Bowie) (already have a Bowie track) ; Subterranean Homesick Alien (Radiohead).

I've posted this elsewhere, so this is just a copypasta.  There's actually a bit of overlap with Snark's list, as well as yours.  I would also add Origa, if you don't mind listening to songs in Russian.  Not sure if Tomita or Origa are on Spotify, and sadly, we lost both of them last year as well as all the other, more well-known music artists:

 

Rush - Hemispheres, Cygnus X-1, 2112, and quite a few others 

Yes - Starship Troopers, Heart of the Sunrise, Siberian Khatru, most of Tales From Topgraphic Oceans, and Homeworld (The Ladder) - yes, it's the end credits music for the original Homeworld 

Billy Thorpe - most of his Children of the Sun album 

Starcastle 

Elton John - Rocketman, natch 

David Bowie - all of Ziggy Stardust 

The soundtrack to 2001: A Space Odyssey 

Gustav Holst - The Planets 

Igor Stravinsky - Firebird 

Tomita's electronic versions of Holst's The Planets, Debussy's Snowflakes Are Dancing, and Moussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition 

anything from Vangelis, including collaborations with Jon Anderson (former vocalist for Yes) 

most of Jon Anderson's solo work, but especially Olias of Sunhillow

Planet P - Why Me?

Most of Enya's catalog

Deep Purple - Space Truckin'

The Fifth Dimension - Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In

Quite a bit of Moby, but especially Underwater, Parts 1-5

Styx - Come Sail Away

...and probably a hundred or more things I can't recall at the moment off the top of my head.

For the classical section, I'd say the music from Moonraker when the space shuttle is approaching the space station and it slowly becomes illuminated by the 'sun' (can't find a clip on youtube sadly)

 

A few more of my spotify KSP playlist...

Spoiler
