Space Rock Explosion

I will try Nik Turner's Space Gypsy soon [added it to my library]. I don't mind different genres. My profile image is after all, way different from any progressive rock :p.

I tried Nik Turner's album, some good sound on it though I was expecting the sax to take more of a centrestage considering he played that instrument [like with VdGG, where the sax sometimes seems like the lead instrument].

The Clash, technically, rarely smashed their guitars on stage. This image was taken on one of the rare occasions when bassist Paul Simonon [who wasn't a virtuoso or anything but probably had a grand moral standing; he was the only member who refused to reunite for Rock n Roll induction saying that if the band is to be united, it's first show shouldn't be in front of rich musicians] smashed his instrument.

At the risk of diverting the topic, I think smashing guitars, was made famous by Pete Townshend of The Who for whom it was a ritual.Some of their songs are quite forward looking and make more use of instruments than the traditional drums, guitar and bass. Most famously, he used synthesizers very well; notably in the opening of Baba O' Riley.
