So, we started our Prog Rock Spacecraft and we have raised  from the Earth(http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=87017) to our nearest celestial body, the Moon (http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=87075). All planets and other celestial bodies orbit around the Sun, which is the central star in our system and the giver of life on Earth. (http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=87179)
 
Now, we're leaving our Solar system and going on an endless journey to the stars ...
  
I have tried to choose some tracks from most famous classic Prog Rock bands.

Tough choice, as there are a lot of great songs up there! I went with Starship Trooper.

          My overall fave is a non prog one, though-Starlight (Accept)

Sorry, but last time I've listened to Accept in High school and they were actually one of the gateways to the world of Heavy Metal...
 
Nowadays their music seems to me somewhat curious. Besides, I always felt Udo rather like an angry dwarf than a genuine singer.

Accept were a great, ahead of their time band. Still don't get the laughing at some ones choice of favourite song.

^It's because it is so funny, that one could ever pick something as plebeian and corny as an Accept song over something as universally fantastic and artistic as the mighty Starless from King Crimson, who we all know are the originators of prog rock and in fact also were among the first to seize fire in Vietnam among many things. 
In other words: You are silly, if you don't like the same stuff as I do!

From this list, "Starship Trooper". You could've added Tull's "Orion" from Stormwatch as well.

Last time I checked, Orion is a constellation of stars, plural. There are few selections, if any, on the list that refer to a specific star.
