Rewriting Destiny
A Team Universe Fanmix
01. 30 Seconds to Mars - This is War
"I think we're definitely the underdog team proving that we're here and ready to fight for a win! Because we are BAMFs. Wherever we stand, I think we'll surprise people with our determination." - far_to_nowhere

02. Linkin Park - New Divide
"I'm recommending this because the cast of Stargate Universe truly did cross into completely unknown territory - a new divide. The beginning of the song also describes a place being destroyed before reaching safety; exactly what happened in the pilot." - purpletrance
YouTube | Download
03. Eisley - Marvelous Things
"I'm recommending this because of how random it is. It talks of finding and seeing Marvelous Things, but all of them sound fictional and strange, much like the findings throughout the expedition on Destiny. It also catches me with the "dark night, hold tight - morning light shall burst bright and keep us here safely" Darkness = no power. Morning Light = Destiny flying through the sun, getting more power, and on their way. :D" - purpletrance

04. Stereophonics - Maybe Tomorrow
"It talks about finding a way home, but it's also positive in the sense that even though we're not home, we're still having a good home and aren't exactly in a rush. :D" - purpletrance
YouTube | Download
05. 3 Doors Down - Citizen Soldier
"I think the song reflects on both who we are (citizens) and the running theme of Team SGU (soldiers) as shown by our ranks. This duplicity also reflects back on the civilian-military theme of the show. Last but not least we are always there ready to help our "sisters" and "brother" :)" - ashimon

06. R.E.M. - Living Well is the Best Revenge
"Because we need something to bounce along to." - obsessivemuch1

07. Muse - Time is Running Out
"A song to represent my addiction to my team and stargateland. And for the procrastinators, I'm sure you can relate to the time crunches we face turning in challenges :D" - far_to_nowhere

08. Fall Out Boy - The Carpal Tunnel of Love
"We're throwing stones at a glass moon, we keep the beat with your blistered feet, we keep on fighting beyond what others expect of us, and we can't be arsed to be anything but who we are. We're Team BAMF, and somehow this disaster town is so miserable and stunning, and generally cunning~" - thedrowned

09. Franz Ferdinand - This Fire
"Now there is a fire in me, a fire that burns! This fire is out of control, we're gonna burn this city~ We don't take no for an answer, we burn brighter than any star, we're Team BAMF and we'll take you all on." - thedrowned

10. Kelis - Milkshake
"CAN YOU BLAME ME?? OUR MILKSHAKE BRINGS ALL THE NOOBS TO THE YARD, AND THEY'RE LIKE "IT'S BETTER THAN YOURS" DAMN RIGHT IT'S BETTER THAN YOURS WE COULD TEACH YOU BUT WE'D HAVE TO CHARGE SORRY LOL" - thedrowned
YouTube | Download
11. Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down
"This is more of a threat song. It was just an extra, and not to be taken seriously. Because this song is all about Cash threatening a ne'er-do-well, saying God's gonna cut you down...And I feel like Team BAMF tells this to the other teams because we face the nay-sayers all day long, and still have the conviction to keep playing, to keep making our manifesto to Stargate Universe." - thedrowned
YouTube | Download
12. Radiohead - Optimistic
"All you need to know is: If you try the best you can/The best you can is good enough. Key lyric that always reminds me of Team Universe. We tried the best we can and the best we can is good enough. This time, the best we can, is going to smother the other teams, guys. SMOTHER." - thedrowned
YouTube | Download
13. Saul Williams - List of Demands (Reparations)
"Is it any question that I picked this one? This whole song is basically a "I'm not taking your shit". And we're not. Team BAMF is gonna show them all, we won't take their garbage and their hate. We got a list of demands written on the palm of our hands, we're gonna ball our fist so you know where we stand. (It is the song Greer listened to in Time :D)" - thedrowned
YouTube | Download
14. Weezer - Island in the Sun
"This entire song just makes me think that Team Universe is the best place to be. On an island in the sun we'll be playing and having fun, and it makes me feel so fine I can't control my brain. When you're on this golden sea, Team Universe, you don't need no memory. Just a place to call your own, as we drift into the zone~" - thedrowned

15. Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take It
"We're not going to take being last and we're going to FIGHT :D It also has some military ties, and I dunno it seems a little condecending to the other teams (if you wanted to look at it that way) but its got lots of spirit and well we're BAMFS. PLUS it makes me hyper." - everythingshiny
YouTube | Download
16. Ben Lee - We're all in this Together
"Because we're a team, and awesome badass team, and we need to rely on each other, and we all contribute to the team. Plus its a nice song <3" - everythingshiny

17. Nina Simone - Feeling Good
"It's a new phase, we're a new team, and we're feeling pretty damn good about it. :D Nothing but positive energy on TEAM SGU!" - far_to_nowhere

18. Within Temptation - Stand My Ground
"We're going to stand our ground and face all our challenges because we're BAMFs." - far_to_nowhere
YouTube | Download
19. Monty Python - Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
"This is because it makes me think of the times when we've nearly won the challanges and the time that we thought we had won and we hadn't because of a clerical error. :D" - flubber2kool
YouTube | Download
20. Toy Story - You've Got a Friend in Me
"This song speaks about being a friend and that you should always remember that there is someone out there to help you. This makes me think of Team Universe and the fact that you will always find someone to help and advise, comiserate or celbrate with you. TEAM UNIVERSE FRIENDS TO THE END!" - flubber2kool
YouTube | Download
21. High School Musical - We're All in this Together
"For when the times get a little tough and we need some team encouragement. IT'S A CHEESEY CHEERLEADING SONG. Shouldnt every team have one? :D" - flubber2kool

22. Cinderella - Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo
"This is because we come up with some really magic stuff in answer to the challenges." - flubber2kool
YouTube | Download
23. Smashmouth - Everyday Hero
"This is my tribute to all my fellow team members because of all the times that you manage to do the challenges that I cant do. You inspire me to keep going and to enjoy being part of Team Universe." - flubber2kool

24. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - I Won't Back Down

25. Chesney Hawkes - I am the One and Only
"This song is because we are THE ONE AND ONLY TEAM UNIVERSE - GO TEAM!" - flubber2kool
YouTube | Download
26. Bryan Adams - Sound the Bugle
"Beause no matter how many times the other teams might push us down (i.e. win a challange), we will stand up and fight. And for that matter, it is true for the Destiny crew too: they were overwhelmed somewhat by their bad luck but now they seem to finding themselves and their mission. :)" - csiguci
YouTube | Download
27. Dido - Northern Skies
"The sounds is haunting and Dido captures a sense of hopelessness, that something important has been lost. She speaks of somber grays, dreams left behind - all things that the crew of Destiny has experienced." - nynaeve_sedai
YouTube | Download
28. Spectre General - Nothin's Gonna Stand in Our Way
"The title says it all. This is kind of a fight song of sorts. It's on the soundtrack to the 1986 animated Transformers movie, so I guess, kind of an odd choice, but I like it." - sgflutegirl
YouTube | Download
29. Fireflight - Unbreakable
"I choose this because this team is unbreakable. We might not win them all but we won't give up. Nothing can stop us. We rock!" - nicole9514
YouTube | Download
30. Chumbawamba- Tubthumping
"'I get knocked down but I get up again... We'll be singing when we're winning' That doesn't only describe Team Universe, but also all the characters and the show as a whole. No matter how much it's put down by others, it can hold its own, and it will persist, even with only 2 seasons." - shena8
YouTube | Download
31. Adema - Immortal
"I think believe this song fits us because one it sounds awesome and two it describes how we won't die, we're immortal even with SGU having been canceled so early WE WILL NOT GO DOWN WE WILL RULE FOREVER BWUAHAHAHAHAHA *cough,cough* Ahem, that's why I believe this song is perfect for our team mix." - dark_69_phoenix

32. Mudd - Underdog
"Yes it's a theme from Beyblade a show about spinning tops but it fits our team because; we're the underdogs, we're gonna steal the other teams thunder." - dark_69_phoenix
YouTube | Download
33. Jonathn Evans - I'm Not Going Down
"Yes another Beyblade theme, I can't help that their songs fit our team so well and they sound awesome. Anyway this one fits us because, we're not going down, we stand our ground and we're looking for a victory!" - dark_69_phoenix

34. The Highwaymen - Highwayman
"We all come from different places, different time(s) zones but yet we are all the same (TEAM SPIRIT! ♥) and definitely ALWAYS GOING TO BE AROUND! :D" - mercscilla

35. Orianthi - According to You
"Well, to everyone else we are probably just a bucket of rust and barely keeping it together but to Destiny and this team, we are BEAUTIFUL, INCREDIBLE, FUNNY AND IRRESISTABLE!" - mercscilla

36. Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Main Theme
"Let's kick some ass, people. The other teams will eat our FTL residue and see the pretty backside of Destiny as we fly into the universe. *evil grin*" - mercscilla

37. Carl Douglas - Kung-Fu Fighting
"A bunch of crazy people with the most AWESOME skills will pwn this land like the others have never seen it before. <3" - mercscilla
YouTube | Download
38. A Perfect Circle - 3 Libras
"Much as the crew of Destiny has to deal with being stranded (which this song replicates in tone) the greatest struggles they have are their interpersonal relationships. Both on the ship and with friends and family at home, it's the failures of communication which resound." - atatteredrose
YouTube | Download
39. Smashmouth - Who's There
"They might not be "little green men," but the crew of Destiny have certainly stared at the stars and found aliens staring back. Plus, it's a fun, bouncy song, which is always nice to listen to while working on challenges :D" - atatteredrose
YouTube | Download
40. Prodigy - You'll Be Under My Wheels
"This is just an instrumental, but the weight and sound of the song reminds me of us and of Destiny. We're so electrical and mechanical, but oh so full of life. Plus it's a general badassery song that most people use in their movies to accentuate a nice fight/chase scene.... and we need something fast and furious up in this mix. 8D Pun not intended." - thedrowned
YouTube | Download
41. My Chemical Romance - I'm Not Okay
"The song mainly about surviving highschool, but it's fun and the video even funner, but in the end the song speaks to something that most on Destiny would echo. They say they're okay, they have to be okay enough to survive day to day and all they go through. But we all know inside that they're far from okay, and in the end it's okay that they are." - mgsmurf
YouTube | Download
42. Sting - Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot
"Destiny and its crew faces something they have no experience to deal with. They go where there is no compass to guide them, not only in where Destiny goes but it everyday life so away from the things they know. And this song gives an uplifting take on trusting yourself to know what way is the right one. It's where you'd hope the crew of Destiny gets to someday." - mgsmurf
YouTube | Download
43. Alexz Johnson - Running With the Devil
"I like this song because of the struggle it portrays, as though the person in the song has a path - a destiny, if you will - but may or may not stay on it. This song is about overcoming what holds you back - and I think that goes well with any of the Stargate series, particularly with SGU." - deludedvision

44. The Chicken Dance
"Because we are not afraid to have some good old silly fun!" - trivher
YouTube | Download
45. Bryan Adams - We're Gonna Win
"Well, my favourite team spirit motivational song has always been Bryan Adams' We're gonna win. It fits our team because we are kickass, clever ladies with a wide variety of talents and a keen interest in winning :)" - morag_s_enarah

46. Franz Ferdinand - Can't Stop Feeling
"I really love Franz Ferdinand's Can't stop feeling it always reminds me of how emotional this show is and we cannot deny all the heartbreaks it brings, so..." - morag_s_enarah
YouTube | Download
47. Alexi Murdoch - Orange Sky
"This song reminds me of the all the people on Destiny, alone out there in unknown territories. But thinking of their loved ones, brothers, sisters, family, lovers gives them comfort and hope to hold out." - anaithis
YouTube | Download
48. Moby - We Are All Made of Stars
"In teams there's always fluctuation, people come together and they fall apart.. but no matter what, in Team Universe we all stick together and no one can stop us, 'cause we are all made of stars!" - anaithis
YouTube | Download
49. Paul Anka - You Are My Destiny
"There are only two words necessary to describe why this song is the right one: TEAM LOVE! :)" - anaithis

50. Oar - Shattered

52. Liam Finn - Second Chance
"[This song reminded me of] when they escape to Destiny and get a "second chance". (also in a smaller way TJ over the loss of her child)." - kiri_l
