There is a Cpt. Picard song that's been kicking around for 20 years or so. But it's full of spoilers till you get through the series and the first couple movies. At least till you get through the series if it's just the audio version.

Worry that they're getting into gangster sci-fi. These Trek vs BSG feuds so often result in real world violence 😱

A good companion piece to Brent Spiner’s album, “Ol’ Yellow Eyes is Back.” Featured background vocals by The Sunspots (Stewart, Frakes, Burton, and Dorn).

I'd also want to include the initial Ben Folds/William Shatner collaboration on two songs on Fear of Pop's Volume 1, "In Love" and "Still in Love". When I think of great Shatner songs in the vein of Has Been, I actually think of "In Love" first.
Shatner also appeared on the alternate version of Folds' "Rockin' the Suburbs" for "Over the Hedge". Which was at least kinda fun.

Nice! I bought my daughter the new Taylor Swift CD and she asked me how to play it... 😆 we have a Xbox Series X in the living room (which works great with the soundbar) + bluray players work too in a pinch. Have a pretty good vinyl collection myself, mostly newer remasters & reissues but those OG albums probably have some great stuff 🎸 sounds pretty good too I'll bet! ✌️ 🖖

Damn, they left the best song off the album. That being the classic song where just three words are repeated for nine minutes straight. "Shut up, Wesley."

I would say pop music is fine, but try listening to some classical Vulcan lute music too.

I don't have children, so this is theoretical. I'd buy it for them, but none of our computers have a cd drive any more, so they could only listen to it on the enormous music media station that dominates one corner of my living room. (It's got a tape player, a CD player that holds five cds, and an honest to god turntable, plus several hundred vinyl albums courtesy of my Dad.) At least this way I can listen to it too.

Have you heard Star Trekkin’ by The Firm? Or Starship Eidelweiss by Eidelweiss? Look then up on YouTube - no spoilers both parody TOS. The latter CD single actually has an epic techno rendition of the Star Trek theme which got played a lot at convention parties in the 90s.

I say "Hell no, but you can have this" and I buy them a copy of William Shatner's "Has Been." It's an elegant, full album. Bill really came into his own, artistically and commercially.

In those ancient times, they actually did this by burning the information directly onto the artifact….i think they stopped burning information this way because of carbon pollution or something 😜

So, back in the day before Al Gore invented the Internet, they would put music onto a fragile disk that easily scratched and held up extremely poorly. Obviously as you can guess it was quite frustrating. Then there was this guy Sean Parker…

The answer is, of course, yes. Spiner and Frakes and a few of the others made silly fans CDs over the years. There's one with a name something like "Old Yellow Eyes" iirc. Every family needs some Trek

For the record, the "Shut Up Wesley" thing is overdone and it made Wil Wheaton feel really bad for a lot of years, so we can probably move past it.
