Pretty much every science fiction geek, like me, likes robots. Maybe as a kid you go Rock-em, Sock-em Robots or maybe you just watched Lost in Space or Giant Robot. You might even know Klaatu Barada Niktu from the Day The Earth Stood Still (the bw original, not with Keanu Reeves). But either way there are some cool Robot songs. I include Iron Man and Magneto and Titanium Man as well as Bionic Man. Had to include The Fabulous Poodles as well as Devo and The Dickies. This connection goes all over the map in genres but they all are basically about mechanical men. Enjoy the reggae next to the new wave and experimental from the Space Negroes (Erik Lindgren) to Praxis (Bill Laswell). And yes even Mr. Roboto shows up.
