 Grant wrote "Buck Rogers" with The Pixies as an influence, but "on a comic book level". He had originally written the track for another band Echo Park producer Gil Norton was working with, but decided not to give it away, as he felt Feeder could have a hit with it themselves. "Buck Rogers" still receives regular airplay on alternative radio stations in the United Kingdom. Kerrang! ' s writers have also approved of the track as one of their "666 Songs You Must Own", when it appeared at # 5 in their rock songs list in November 2004.
