Top 10 Songs About Robots
Robots have been used heavily in military and industrial applications for decades, but now they're becoming more ingrained into our everyday lives. Companies like iRobot are now building and marketing robots directly to the consumer. Science fiction has driven our fascination with robots, and considering the large numbers of musicians who happen to be sci-fi fans, it's no wonder that we have a plethora of great robot songs to choose from. For this playlist I wanted to choose songs whose theme centered around a robot, or were fully inspired by them. Not just a song that mentions a robot in passing, but that really take the subject to heart. After finding about 30 tracks that fit this criteria I set to selecting my top 10 picks based on quality, cultural impact and/or critical acclaim. I then ordered them starting with the very best.
