No Space Ritual

Oh well i vote for Quarks Strangeness & Charm which reminds me i wonder if Hawkwind did re-release 'spirit of the age' back in Feb like their fan club announced (and planned a mass buy up and get them to number one) can't say ive noticed them in the charts recently

I'd have gone for "Palace Springs" had it been there, but of those listed, "In search of space" for me. It was the first Hawkwind album I heard back in the early 70's, and it knocked me sideways.

You a Black Sabbath fan??

Yes i have great respect for sabbath up to & including 'Sabotage' album.

Thought I'd ask as your username is the name of a Sabbath song off the awful 'Born again' album they made with Ian Gillan.

I agree about Sabotage. Brilliant album! Quite prog too.

yes you are right it is the track 5 on 'Born again....How much i dislike that album.But my user name was obviously taken from the Gong Trilogy.

Yes 'Sabotage' is a brilliant album & the last in the great line for me.Totaly dislike 'Technical Ecstacy' too, although that was an Ozzy album.

Man...I love Technical Ecstacy...er Warrior on the Edge of Time

Hall Of The Mountain Grill really does have some spectacular moments ... Psychedelic Warlords (disappear in smoke), D-Rider, You'd Better Believe It, Wind Of Change ... Hawkwind's best work in the studio, methinks

"Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.”

"No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present."

I voted for "Hall of the mountain grill", for me the only decent album from them. Usually their music was just incredibly loud, but I'm missing progressivity in it. HOTMG is at least a pretty good Space rock album. Most of the other stuff sounds more or less like Stoner Rock IMHO. Why not adding Magnetmonster to the Archives LOL

? I wonder why nobody voted for that one, is it so little known?

I have to agree that Sabotage is Sabbath`s Tour de Force. Symptom of the Universe has to be one of the heaviest tracks ever commited to tape both lyrically and musically.

Anyone who has the compilation 'Roadhawks' from '76.Listern to the way that ''Wind of change'' is mixed into ''The golden void''.Absolutly awesome.

Warrior is the best studio album, but Space Ritual is the definitive Hawkwind album for me.

Space Bandits is great. It's a liitle too short though and Iwish that they could have featured Briget Wishart on ALL the tracks. From this list ( I have 'em all ) I went with Warrior, my favourite Hawkwind cover as well. Levitation is by far not one of my faves. Can you believe Ginger Baker wanted to call the band Ginger Baker's Hawkwind! At the same time probably the most unlikely Hawkwind line up which lasted for a grand total of 1 album!

This may be crazy but I like pre-Lemmy Hawkwind better so In Search Of Space.

I like that quote at the bottom of your post from 'Angel Egg' album.

I like that weird and strange name ahead of your post.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
