A few SF references that spring to mind:

   Rush
      many (most?) of their songs. A few examples:
      2112 (based on a short story by Ayn Rand)
      Cygnus X-1, and Hemispheres (Cygnus part II), (anyone know if there is 
         a direct connection to the Rosinante books?)
      The Necromancer (fantasy, are you including that?)
      Rivendell (Tolkien reference)
      The Fountains of Lamneth (fantasy)
      
      I'm not near my records. That list is far from complete.
   
   Kansas - Mysteries and Mayhem/The Pinnacle (fantasy)
   Pink Floyd - Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun.
   Van der Graff Generator - Pioneers Over c (c refers here to the speed of
      light)
   Someone already said the collected works of Hawkwind, right?
   Deep Purple - Space Truckin'
 
Terry Poot
