Science/ Science Fiction Themed Music
Hi all! I am an Earth Science teacher. One of the things I love to do at the start of class while students are gathering is to play music related to science and have created one of the largest science music playlists on Spotify (40 hrs 38min). I would like to have suggestions to add to my list. Songs or artist will work

Some rules
It must be clean and high school appropriate
It cannot touch religion or politics. Politically/religiously sensitive topics like evolution and climate change are OK as they are part of science. However, mentioning a political side or religion directly is a no go.
Science fiction songs are great as well. They make up about 10% of the list. I prefer songs that are broad science fiction like Space Truckin' by Deep Purple versus songs about a specific series
Songs do not need to be educational but should relate to science in some way. For example, I have Storm Front by Billy Joel on there as we talk about weather in class or Supermassive Black Hole by Muse. Education songs are great though.
All types of music are welcome. The list has everything from space sea shanties to raps about parasites
The music should have words.
While all fields of science are welcome, I teach Earth Science so songs that relate to it get bonus points
