Songs to Learn On Your Theremin

The theremin. Since its invention by Léon Theremin in 1920, it has wowed audiences, boggled minds, and found its way in plenty of weird science fiction movies. It's also found its way in popular music as well, beginning with the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations" and "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" (however, both actually included the sounds of a similar instrument, the electro-theremin). Since then, plenty of other bands and musicians have incorporated the theremin into their songs. This playlist is made up of 18 of those songs.

Featured artists include The Beach Boys, The Flaming Lips, Pixies, and Led Zeppelin. (Also featured is Clara Rockmore, generally considered to be the most accomplished performer ever of the theremin.)
