Most of us appreciate William Shatner for his cult acting roles as Capt. James T. Kirk on "Star Trek," Denny Crane on the "Practice," and now the dad on "$#*! My Dad Says." Even if he doesn't always like us back. (He once famously advised a room full of trekkies: "Get a life").

Less known is the extent of Shatner's unconventional and much-parodied musical career, which began in 1968 with "The Transformed Man," and has seen six album releases to date.

This week Shatner announced he's venturing into another musical genre: Metal. He tweeted his plans to release a metal album with the tentative title "Seeking Major Tom." The album will have a space odyssey theme.
