Meddle. Since 1863 I have been an omelet.

If Space Rock was a movie, I'd go to see it, especially if it sounded like this.

Admittedly, I wasn't a big fan of Catherine Ribeiro to begin with, but persistence paid off when I heard "Paix" for the first time today. Thumbs Up

Only know Meddle. Doug sent me a copy of Eloy's debut album many years ago and it's a long way different from the future version of the band (no keys!). There is only one Hawkwind album I like and will have to wait until 1977's Quark Strangeness and Charm when it will be presumably be up against Ocean (Eloy) and Animals. Don't know anything else here. Strictly ''prog'' is my game, never much got into 'psyche', never appealed to me and neither has much jazz fusion over the years. Give me a more classical based approach ie symph prog and I'm generally happy. Oh just noticed the Polyphony album. think I may have a copy somewhere. That's great so will vote for that.

Hawkwind in search of Space
Gong Camembert electrique
Nektar journey to the centre of the eye

First two are classic 'space rock'

"Echoes" is a monster, and it's Pink Floyd, man. Pink Floyd is a monster. Hawkwind is great, and it's got one of my favourite albums here, and I didn't even vote for the Floyd representative, but to some in the anals (or annals even) of history, Hawkwind is just a feathery fart in the wind (someone give that bird some Beano) compared to the mighty echoing [pillow of] wind of Pink Floyd. It would be a Fearless bookie indeed that would give In Search of Space the best odds. Betting is something that some should not Meddle with. Meddle is not one of THE most talked about Floyd albums, but still very popular and it's still Floyd.

Funnily enough, I was expecting Hawkwind to win this poll easily. Wrong again. Embarrassed



I don't easily get shocked, but beat Pink Floyd, seriously?

Maybe I should give my Meddle CD another listen to see why I'm Lost in Space when almost everyone here favours Meddle over In Search of Space. Smile

I was surprised to see Chilliwack listed under Psychedelic/Space Rock too, but I like them and I'll take your word for it that the band are better than the Canadian town of the same name. Smile

I think this is the last time I'll vote for PF (which for me is a sure winner here)...

Hawkwind are 2nd... though for me, Eloy will be getting a good few votes in future polls.
