What song are you blasting in your X-Wing as you drop into the Death Star trench?

For me, Thunderstruck or Shoot to Thrill. Lots of other AC/DC songs would work too.

Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner, of course! :grin:

The theme to the film Dambusters if Iā€™m feeling cocky, or for intense energy I would need something like Last Human by Uberbyte. (Explicit lyrics in case you YT it at work)

Earth Rocker by Clutch I still a good one, or Till my Head Falls off by TMBG for a very different sound. A few Dropkick Murphies tunes would work as well, or some Queen for irony and general vibe.

My brain canā€™t decide whether it should be Donā€™t Stop Me Now or Bicycle :laughing:

Guilty, by Redtenbacherā€™s Funkestra

I was going to agree with TM and go for ā€˜Ride of the Valkyriesā€™, but ā€˜Bomberā€™ by Motorhead is also a hot contender.

Edit: ā€˜Aces Highā€™ by Iron Maiden is also appropriate.

Or you could be a complete contrarian and go for something like this.

I can picture Luke Skywalker playing ā€œSongbirdā€ by Kenny G. After all, if you played the Star Wars arcade game, Obi Wan encouraged you to use the force and not fire any shots while in the trench.

Donā€™t make me destroy you.

Iā€™m gonna say Earth, Wind, and Fire: Shining Star.
Gotta keep my funky groove on.

Oh, Iā€™m in a Y-wing.

Is it bad that I knew what that was just from the URL? Perhaps Iā€™ve spent too much time on the interwebs.

Bwahaha! Sorry, couldnā€™t resist. This is what I was originally going to post (Nimrod by Elgar, from the Enigma Variations):

The Galaktikon ā€œsoundtrackā€ albums are both pretty good for being kind of a modern take on ā€˜space metalā€™ from the 60s or 70s. Not sure on specific songs. Maybe ā€œProphecy of the Lazer Witchā€, ā€œDangertitsā€, ā€œIcarus Six Sixty Sixā€, or ā€œTo Kill a God.ā€

(I say soundtrack because theyā€™re meant to have a kind of ā€˜concept albumā€™ implied story, but not much of oneā€¦ They did a cool video for II with a weird space theme and have said it is intended to be kind of inspired by Frank Herbert crossed with Flash Gordon.)

Iā€™ve heard theyā€™ve put it up run through one of the ML cleanup tools so thereā€™s an HD version available.

Thatā€™s the one I linked to. Itā€™s quite well done.

Very Marillion-esque.
I mean, it isnā€™t Gloryhammerā€™s Rise of the Chaos Wizards.
