Such a close ally to the U.S. and YouTube won't let you watch/listen, shame on them. Some legal reason I guess?

Yes strange, Bach and Vivaldi are ok though, no commercial value perhaps? I can watch lectures for free by Leonard Susskind and Edward Witten too.
You posted some physics music connections to begin with and you missed an obvious one out but I think it may not have been released in the states.

Its quite odd but I liked it at the time

I think we are safe classical music

This is one of the most uplifting pieces of music I have ever heard, it makes want to get on a horse ride a horse into battle and I am terrified of horses! (headphones required play loud!)

Ian Anderson said he never took drugs but its hard see how that's correct watching this. 3.06 Is what I think insanity looks like OR lots of drugs. He was about 22 here but looks about 35. Hes still alive, pretty switched on bloke

Of course Evo! late 60s early 70s was a peak for me and Stevie Winwood one of those bright lights. For great harmony and unusual melody this was my fave from them.

No problem they did some great stuff, Mother Goose probably my fave but I wanted to post that vid where he looks a little crazy. Songs from the Wood is a masterpiece too.

All the young guys who are listening to this must be thinking , "what the hell is this?" Well these innovative boundary pushing musicians gave you RAP dance music and all the modern rock and beat music you hear today young people!

@david2, I liked the songs by Nick Drake. I had heard of him, but I don't remember if I had heard anything before.

Another few movie themes from the same album. The singer is Mike Patton, best known perhaps from Faith No More



What have they done to its eyes?

A little bit of trivia, the guitarist for Queen was also an astrophysicist for NASA.

Sorry, you’re correct. I did some research he didn’t work for NASA, but he was a collaborator on the New Horizons probe.

And I’ll also add a song by Pink Floyd.
