As Meddle will run away with this I'll vote Hawkwind - In Search Of Space ahead of ADII on the basis they have no votes

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

"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.

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

First two are classic 'space rock'

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.

Pink Floyd
Amon Duul II
Gila
Ash Ra Tempel
Then the rest...

When it comes to Floyd my top three are Dark Side Of The Moon, Meddle and A Saucerful Of Secrets

No offence to any who may reside there.

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

Space Rock:1971  the title sounds like a play or movie... which in those years was a "play".  I'm going with this selection: 1. Pink Floyd-Meddle ( I like to play Echoes on the Wurlitzer in Waffle House as I exit  )
                     2. Amon Dual- Lemmings
                     3. Hawkwind-Space Ritual

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

I find "Echoes" very spacey.

Meddle. Since 1863 I have been an omelet.
