Post your favourite nerd-inspired music here.

Here’s some inspiration: Machinae Supremacy - Sidology 2: Trinity (Part 1)

Info on the band here . I wish they’d tour the UK.

Excuse the start of the video, it’s a little boring. Just have it playing in the background…

EDIT: At 4:15 it gets METAL, baby!

\m/ -_-

EDIT 2: I’ve found the proper ELITE metal ASCII from their website:

Metal.

Sensei no Aquarion - Theme music from Genesis of Aquarion (a fantastic anime series)

Suite from the Inner Light by Jay Hathaway(i believe) - The full piece of music Jean-Luc Picard plays on the Resican(sp?) flute.

A tribute to John Williams (accapella) - by Moosebutter – if you have not seen this I recommend you look it up on Youtube, it is awesome (Just search for “Star wars moosebutter”).

Telstar, by the Tornados.

Inspired by the launch of a satellite in 1962.

Telstar (instrumental)

"Telstar" is a 1962 instrumental by the English band the Tornados, written and produced by Joe Meek. It reached number one on the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100 in December 1962 (the second British recording to reach number one on that chart in the year, after "Stranger on the Shore" in May). It was the second instrumental single to hit number one in 1962 on both the US and UK weekly charts.[note 1] Later in 1962, Meek produced a vocal version, "Magic Star", sung by Kenny Hollywoo...

Many songs by Jonathon Coulton, especially Code Monkey and that song at the end of Portal.

Dessembrae really nice post, my wife and I loved watching Moosebutter on YouTube… ROFL.

We don’t have any but we’ll be getting some, that’s for sure.

The wife’s geekiest choice is Kitaro - Silk Road I, II, III & IV. Which I like too, but my choice extends from Rammstein (hard to pick one), Flaming Lips, Joe Satriani to Stomp Down Zydeco. All good, helps get through a busy day.

“Mac or PC”, nice nerd song. I forgot the name of the band…

feltonchr · 2010-07-13T07:37:06.000Z

There’s always Nerdcore music too. MC Frontalot and Optimus Rhyme are the two that I know of.

Current fav would be “Final Boss - MC Frontalot”

@Dess - Woot I’m not alone thinking that song is great.

Cocoa Brovas - Super Brooklyn

You all need to listen to this. Maybe at home, though. I can’t tell if there’s swearing or not.

Just watched a video from MC Frontalot’s new album:

It is pretty good, I might just have to get a copy.

anything by Devo

rmuniz9336 · 2010-07-13T15:25:46.000Z

Almost anything that Mike Oldfield ever did.

zak · 2010-07-14T05:23:43.000Z

I love NerdCore and MC Frontalot. Also i would have to toss in Sniper Twins song Computer Friends.

stevelippert5947 · 2010-07-14T06:07:26.000Z

Jonathon Coulton, Paul and Storm, and Stephen Lynch.

Anything Weezer

michael7500 · 2010-07-14T09:04:53.000Z

Another vote here for MC Frontalot and Optimus Rhyme. I’ll also throw in The Lords of the Rhymes.

Man how could I forget about JoCo… “Code Monkey” and “First of May” are the best.

Also, “Bad Religion - I love my computer” Not really nerd music but a good song about a computer. Lyrics are NSFW btw
