If I could plan an instrument and knew other sciencey nerds who could also play instruments, I would form a science nerd metal band in a heartbeat. It would be called “Doctor Sublimation and the Melting Points.”

I once saw a band called Osmium.

It’s a bit of a chemistry-geek joke, because Osmium is the densest element known it’s therefore the heaviest metal. Now that deserves an eye-roll!

I would like to add 39 by Queen to the list. And yes, why there’s no Brian May ? I’m his Fan.

Don’t forget Rush! (Too many songs to list here – but “Cygnus X-9″? Heh heh heh!)

I still use Cygnus X-1 to help me locate constellations . . .

I set a course just East of Lyra,
North-West of Pegasus,
Through into the lght of Deneb,
Sailing ‘cross the Milky Way.

On my ship, the Rossinante,
Wheeling through the galaxy;
Headed for the heart of Cygnus,
Headlong into mystery . . .
