Hawkwind - No longer includes Unmixed Silver Machine

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Seems there are quite a few fans, so I thought we should take it here.

V' Wind are the only band I've seen 5 times - in the 70s ;D

Orkwind? Isn't that wot 'appens when certain characters from Tolkein 'ave beans for tea?

And they do flippin' kick live. I've never seen a gig anything stronger than Amsterdam's Favourite Export, but judging from the behaviour of some of my fellow concert go-ers...well, let's just say that they look like they might be friends with EMWK... :lol:

Never seen them, wouldn't bother these days to be honest.

Anyway, to kickstart something, here's my top 5:

1) Warrior on the Edge of Time
2) In Search of Space
3) Space Ritual
4) Hall of the Mountain Grill
5) Doremi Fasol Latido

Garage prog indeed!
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

This stretch of time, as mentioned by James, is also better known as One-Hawkwind-LP or OHLP.

I first heard about them in the late 70´s, when Motörhead was becoming popular, "must check out that other band that Lemmy used to play with"
First albums bought was "warriors", and then Live ´79.

Some favourite albums:
Space Ritual
In search of space
Warrior on the edge of time
Doremi...
Well, all United Artists albums are favourites,

the rest:
Live ´79 (and the double cd of later years)
Levitation
Choose your Masques
Chronicle of the black sword

After Xenon codex they became dull IMO, and i lost interest in them after Palace springs.
I'll see you sometime later
When I'm through with my accumulator.

Essential tracks (no particular order)

Space is Deep(cos it drops a key and makes my brain fly)
Brainstorm(cos if it wasn't for this song Johnny Rotten wouldn't exsist)
Hassan I Sabbah
Kadu Flyer
Quark, Stangeness and Charm
Orgone Accumulator(freaky mellotron action)
Master of the Universe(THE riff)
The Watcher (for Lemmys vocal performance alone)
Urban Guerrilla(for the unintentional timing of it's release)
Heads (Necromancing lives forever...well of course)
Kiss of the Velvet Whip(cos it sounds like poor Notting Hill hippies trying to sound like the Velevet Undergound...of course)
Golden Void(cos it rips your head off when on the correct medication)
The Demented Man(for the seagulls)
PSI Power
Watching the Grass Grow
(Only) The Dead Dreams of the Cold War Kid
Psychedelic Warlords (Disappear in Smoke)
Lord of Light(cos I thought they were singing about elephants(not elements) over a seriously groovy Lemmy bass hoe down
Over the Top (for Bob Calverts truly bonkers performance)

........

Over the Top:
"This is a very heavy microphone stand.
Aha, no queen could banish this I tell you that.
This is a real man's microphone stand
'ere Dave. 'Ere, where d'you get these stands from?
They're really heavy. So are you.
Well we're gonna do something really heavy in a minute.
Like, err.., fall off the stage on top of you,
With about two hundredweight of iron in my hand.
You're a very tiny person, aren't you?
Eh? You're all very tiny down there.
You know, when I'm up here, I feel so big and mighty,
I feel like I'm the Master …Of the …Universe.
You made me feel like that,
And now, It's almost true.
Just wait and see, What we do.
Alright, cut the gypsy music.
A band of gypsys"....

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't buy either track.

Though I did consider going to see them a year or two ago on my birthday, in London, on the basis of Silver Machine alone.
