Going to a Star Trek convention? Here's a new playlist for your trip.

Picture the scene: You're on a road trip to a convention with your closest Star Trek fan friends. Everyone is already dressed in their Starfleet best, or perhaps one of you has gone the extra mile and donned the Data look, brought the Borg ensemble, or claimed the Klingon cosplay. As any good fan should, you'll probably spend your time dissecting the latest episodes, deconstructing the odd/even 'rule,' and fiercely defending your Captain.

Of course, no road trip would be complete without a great playlist. Sure, you could play all the Star Trek themes on repeat louder than Jean-Luc collecting his thoughts to a bit of Bizet… Berlioz! You could equally listen to Where My Heart Will Take Me on a loop, but then you might start losing faith in humanity (and your sanity). Maybe try a three-part harmony to some Gilbert and Sullivan, or reprise that 'space hippies' song from The Way to Eden? Headin' out? Yea brother!

Instead of all that, however, what if for your journey you had a collection of real world pop/rock music that featured in Star Trek? Shut up and take my latinum, you say? Don't worry, we're all members of the Federation – this one's for free!

As such, we've prepared a list of ten actual pop songs that have been used in the franchise. You might want to get an isolinear chip (or an optolythic rod if you're feeling confident) ready for the data transfer.
