Wakeup Calls

NASA has a tradition of Houston picking wake-up music for the astronauts. The astronauts state that the songs become the signature reminder of the mission years later back on Earth. Which would be awesome if it is Ride of the Valkyries, not some much if its Barry Manilow.

Also every piece of music for the rovers pretty much relate to something going on during the mission.

Rover- Opportunity
"Sol 38:Have You Ever Seen the Rain? by Creedence Clearwater Revival in honor of the confirmation that liquid water once flowed through the rocks at Meridiani Planum."

"Sol 39: Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival in honor of the eclipse caused by the Martian moon Deimos."
