The term space rock was originally coined back in the '70s to describe the cosmic flights of bands like Pink Floyd and Hawkwind. Today, however, space rock refers to a new generation of alternative/indie bands that draw from psychedelic rock, ambient music, and -- more often than not -- experimental and avant-garde influences.

- I Hear a New World – Joe Meek. Year of release: 1960. Label: Lansdowne Studios. Space Rock – as an offshoot of prog/psychedelia – wasn't really the first popular musical direction to try and invoke the wild and pensive feeling of space travel in music – space pop kinda sorta strove for the same thing as early as two decades before Pink Floyd and Hawkwind.
- Pink Floyd – A Saucerful of Secrets. Year of release: 1968. Label: EMI. Now, it's hard (and perhaps unjust) to classify Pink Floyd as space rock since they never strove to either constrain themselves to such a peculiar theme or to follow a specific trend in music, but given the band's seminal influence on the movement (and progressive rock on the whole), this list wouldn't be complete without mentioning the legendary band, and especially their sophomore album "A Saucerful of Secrets" as one of the movement's key inspirations.
- Amon Düül II – Phallus Dei. Year of release: 1969. Label: Liberty/Repertoire. Surprisingly enough, weird, spacey experimental rock took firm root in Germany, where it sprouted into a number of bands which would later serve as one of the main inspirations for the equally weird but more pop-oriented Krautrock.
- Nektar – Journey to the Centre of the Eye. Year of release: 1971. Label: Bacillus. Throughout the '70s, the UK-based, German-born band Nektar dropped a number of releases that would cement their place as one of the country's progressive rock giants, even though their reputation never surpassed that of Pink Floyd.
