Moorcock reveals the music he listens to while writing

Michael Moorcock is one science fiction writer who is no stranger to music, having had an association with the pyschedelic band Hawkwind in the 1960s. He recently offered a list of the music he listens to while writing and it is as eclectic as his own stories.

There are other examples of music and science fiction crossing over. IO9 wrote recently about the sort of science-fiction themed background music that was penned in the 60s and 70s that made its way into countless TV shows and movies. It was avante-garde stuff then and it almost sounds contemporary today.

Even today, science fiction continues to inspire musicians. like this band which cites The Prisoner as its biggest influence.

On that note, I'll sign off with this link to an online Prisoner graphic novel that was created to coincide with the recent AMC remake.
