Didn't Crosby, Still, and Nash ( or C,S,N, and Young) do one called
Wooden Ships, about the soldier/survivors of a future war?  Also 
hasn't  Neil Young done at least one solo on the same subject?  
Sorry I can't be more specific, but maybe that will jog someone's 
memory.

My favorite science fiction album is a two-disc version of H.G. 
Wells' War of the Worlds (titled War of the Worlds) with Richard 
Burton doing narration.  Justin Hayward and David Essex are among 
the artists.  There is a riveting piece titled Thunderchild and 
another called The Spirit of Man.  The Martian's theme is 
appropriatly menacing.  While I don't want to spoil the story I 
will say that playing the album is a Halloween tradition and is 
the focus of our "Find A Three-Day Weekend for August" movement.
