Jean and I are currently doing the Hawkwind marathon. That means we listen to all Hawkwind albums and solo albums of Hawkwind members (Dave Brock, Robert Calvert, Nik Turner, Simon House, Steve Swindells, Alan Davey, Harvey Bainbridge, Huw Lloyd-Langton etc.) in chronological order. We are still in the early stages (current album is "Hall of the Mountain Grill"). Since all these 60+ albums somehow deal with weird SF/fantasy/mythology/dystopia content we will probably believe in Qanon when we are finished. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Knowing you two, you are probably making it even more authentic by recreating Stacia's dancing.   -------------

I once did a marathon of listening to all of Santana's albums, including the Marathon album.

I'm on a Camel marathon at the moment, including all of their available Live albums on YouTube, as well as Peter Bardens solo albums. I like Hawkwind too, but I don't know if I'll ever get around to doing a Hawkwind marathon.

You don't mention Lemmy. Please don't forget Motorhead... |

I think you can both make it simple and not bother after 1976. ;-) ------------- |

there are a lot of excellent Hawkwind albums after 1976. you would probably be very surprised how versatile their recent releases "Into the Woods" and "All above the Skylark" are, for example. and "Xitintoday", the 1978 solo album of Nik Turner, is in my opinion one of the best albums ever -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

Quark, Strangeness and Charm Levitation Choose Your Masques Chronicle of the Black Sword / Live Chronicles The Xenon Codex Space Bandits (1990 – one of my favorites!) Then there's the Hawklords' 25 Years On. ^The bare minimum of GREAT albums post-'76! ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

| That sounds great ! Hope that you are enjoying it. I was thinking about Nik Turner the other day. I remember a band he had called Inner City Unit I saw a few times. Also saw him with Hawkwind. |

I'd like to do a Hawkwind marathon sometime, but I don't think my eardrums could stand bombing through a Motorhead marathon too. |

Skip Motorhead, except for their best album, Another Perfect Day. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

I've only ever owned one Motorhead album and I drew the Ace of Spades. I just hope I don't get Killed by Death.

I think APD is a great album, although for me, not their very best. It's a shame so many fans slated it at the time. Brian Robertson was certainly the best musician to ever pass through their ranks. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Brian gave everyone a hard time, story goes, it's not that some fans dislike it.

Yeah, he was awful to work with by all accounts, but I remember reading letters in Kerrang magazine at the time saying the band were nothing without Eddie Clarke. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Of course they said that. They didn't want the original line-up to end, and they didn't like Robbo's style and TONE. And those are exactly what I love! It's really the only Motorhead album I can listen to now. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

APD is a great Motorhead album, but heir best is their sophomore outing Overkill ------------- The Wham Daddy |
