Songs About the Future

Postby MARV » Sun Jan 22, 2006 5:49 am

This may have been covered before but I could'nt find the thread. I'd like to create a compilation of songs dealing with the future. All I have so far is In The Year 2525 by Visage. Any others?

There was a thread about Sci-Fi in New Wave, which I think is different for what you're suggesting.
