Rocket man by Elton John?

T-rex probably sing some sci-fi, but nobody knows what they're singing about.

Imagine by John Lennon is quite sci-fi.

And that crap song they keep playing on rock stations: "The chances of anything coming from mars, are a million to one..." I don't know what it's called. Neither do I want to.

The purple people eater (great Halloween song) by.... uh... the big bop or something? That's classic sci-fi.

So's sweet transvestite, The time warp, etc. from the Rocky Horror picture show.

For example, the album "Space Metal" by Star One is entirely sci-fi themed.

Hawkwind is often space-related as well.
