Oh man I just realized there's a pattern.  Ten points to whoever figures it out! 

They're not from around here, are they boy? LOL

The pattern is of course they all played for Magma.


Ten points for Friede! 



What's that?  Only collabs can distribute points?  Dammit.  Sorry Friede.

Ok, NOW I give Friede her points.  Oh, and she gets 5 bonus points for not mentioning that Moze was a member of GonG.

Lemmy. Not the greatest bass virtuoso in the world  but I love his  playing in Hawkwind - it couldn't be better for that style of music, it locks in with the drums and propels the music into space.

Oh, and has anybody mentioned Hugh Hopper yet?
