One can only imagine.
Here is the story published on Eddietrunk.com -




Willam Shatner Records "Iron Man" With Zakk Wylde
Submitted by: Dana

Last week veteran actor William Shatner teamed up with guitarist Zakk Wylde at Wylde's studio, The Black Label Bunker, to lay down tracks for a cover of Black Sabbath's classic song "Iron Man."
The song will appear on Shatner's upcoming album, "Seeking Major Tom," which features a collection of sci-fi, space-themed songs. The album is due out on Cleopatra Records later this year.

Of Wylde, Shatner commented, "He's fantastic! I'm energized." Wylde was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Shatner and added, "He's super cool, we had an awesome time working together."

10 Greatest Starships of all Time:






IO9


IO9 puts together their list.
Personally, I think Serenity and the Slave I got hosed.  Also Tantive IV is like the classic starship!  But I guess they tried to limit the number of ships in each series. Though props for putting in Macross!


Any other snubs??

I admit.  I have not seen the first one.  It looked like the dumbest thing this side of Jar Jar Binks.  However, I'm sure I will have to cave in at some point.


Here is the lowdown from IO9.


Note: Lord TabooLy still has yet to see 'Titanic' and is proud to admit that.
