SquirrelGOD needed the SICKEST saxophone tracks.

Now I need the HOTTEST space trucker/sci-fi western tracks. The kind of music you listen to as you dock at a run-down fusion station that has Merle Haggard cassettes on a rack for $1.29, and several XXL shirts with howling wolves on them.

I'm talking "My Chrysalis Highwayman". I'm talking "Terran 3". I'm talking "Big Bar Fight". Lay it on me.

The Original

The Redneck Rampage soundtrack. (and, by extension, sci-fi psychobilly in general)

Little tune from one of Carpenter's lesser known films Dark Star. If this isn't a space trucking song then none exist.

No, no, these won't do at all. They have the trucker, certainly, but where's the space? Where's the SPAAAACE?! Space truckers are far more lonely than Earth truckers.

Speaking of Earth...

@beachthunder: YES! That's the stuff.

Space Truckin' isn't really my aesthetic (I'm much more of a space person - both in the 'sparkly beautiful wonder' sense, and the 'dark abyss of nothingness' sense) so I don't own any songs that fit it... but I do own a song that were I to take up space truckin', I'd have playing throughout the ship to envelop my lonely soul.

Though it might be more fitting for the long journey to have the 17:30 length full version.

I got this from a Metal Gear trailer. Clearly Naked Snake is the True Space Trucker!

Kinda? I dunno.

@applegong: That's absolutely space trucker music. It was actually the second example I had. It, "Terran 1", and "Chrysalis" were the three that made me want more.

@tokit: That's the song of the Vinco Space Truckers.

@dixavd: It doesn't quite hit the space trucking vibe, but it goes well with "Chrysalis" as songs to listen to while driving alone in the dark, which is a very similar genre.

My mind immediately went to bebop:

So if it's anything along those lines, there are some tracks from the Cowboy Bebop OSTs that would fit.

Here's another:

The Kid rolled up to the old Dixie Travel Plaza - a hundred and twenty five miles of lonely American interstate behind him, and twice that left in front.
