A Poll: Your Favorite Science Fiction Band?

February 21st, 2009

Last week I linked to an article about how U2 was the greatest science ficiton band.   I like U2, but think that the claim is ridiculous.   Am I alone?   I suggested some bands like Queen, Iron Maiden, the Orbital, and Blue Oyster Cult were much better choices.   U2 just doesn’t do that much stuff I would consider science fiction, but I don’t follow them closely and while their top singles may not have much to do with SF maybe they are more of a science fiction band than I give them credit for.   To balance things out, I do like this song and video, if you consider Batman to be science fiction (depends on which day you ask me).

So, here is a poll I hope you’ll take a minute to do.   Pick up to three bands.   If I haven’t listed your favorite science fiction band (not just your favorite band over all), please leave a comment and turn us on to some science fiction goodness.   Also let me know if you think I’ve made a mistake with some of the choices here and their claim to being a science fiction band is no better than that of U2.

Which is the Greatest Science Fiction Band or Performer?

I’d love to hear some new suggestions, as long as they’re not country western.
