The music of Star Trek Beyond [1] is kickass — fitting, since it features a badass heroine and a gnarly villain played by Idris Elba. While most of the soundtrack is a score by composer Michael Giacchino, the movie uses a handful of excellent songs that punctuate the characters and a radical space scene, plus Rihanna's gorgeous new single [2]. If you're like Jaylah [3] and wondering what those great "oldies" were, check out the songs that make an impact in the new Star Trek movie.

"Sabotage" by Beastie Boys

"Fight the Power" by Public Enemy

"Sledgehammer" by Rihanna
