Which do you think is the best Hawkwind album? I've just bought "The Chronicles Of The Black Sword" second hand off Amazon for £50! Its a great album. But I'm not sure its their best. I would have to say "Warrior On The Edge Of Time" is my favorite.

Holy Fuck!!!! A Hawkwind fan!!

I haven't seen one of us for many a long day.
Just about figured we were extinct save a few loonies hanging out at festivals in the UK.

Well, I love all the Hawkwinds...the Robert Calvert years, Simon House sawing his violin, even the declining times of the last 20 years..

If forced, I would go for Space Ritual, Quark, Strangeness & Charm, Levitation Levitation Levitation or the aforementioned Warrior.

There's a great compilation called Epoch/Eclipse, perfect for the beginner and for those who don't develop an obsession upon hearing any of their classic material.

And have you ever noticed how Angels of Death sounds like a blueprint for the Pistols, 'spesh J.Lydon?
He did love a bit of the Hawk...secret history indeed..

Space Ritual is my favorite Hawkwind. Wore that vinyl copy down to almost nothingness.

Watching Stacia dance woulda wore me down....sigh...to have been at one of those gigs with the star child swaying..

I have a Hawkwind album, but I can't remember which one.

I just went on a krautrock bender, though, and I've got several Acid Mothers Temple CDs.

Yeah, you don't find many Hawkwind fans around! LOL. Were there ever many of us?

Astounding Sounds is another great album. Bob Calvert certainly injected some fervour into the band.

Space Bandits is a cool 'later years' Hawkwind CD. "Black Elk Speaks" is an excellent track off that album.

Has anyone heard their latest album which was released this year? Any good?

Bloody hell! Hawkwind!

It may interest readers to know I used to live in the tiny village on Anglesey where Lemmy grew up. He walked past me once in the road outside our house in the seventies. My dad had a 'Silver Machine' and Lemmy's folks used to live round the corner from us.

Or maybe it won't interest anyone.

Anyway - for non-UK participants Silver Machine was written about a car called a 'Ford Capri' and my dad owned one.

That actually IS interesting, thanks. Although Lemmy was only in the Band for a short time, before he went off to start Motorhead.

I never knew "Silver Machine" was about a Ford Capri! LOL. Great cars....

There First 3 are all i have listened to. But so Far i would give it to in search of space
