Go on, you're going to say space ritual aren't you ? But I reckon Hall of the Mountain Grill, or X-In search of space. What do you reckon ? |

I do have a bit of a soft spot for Chronicles, and even more for Live Chronicles. And I'm willing to admit it publicly. |
| Chris B | 31 Aug 2011 6:03 a.m. PST |
I've actually never heard Hawkwind. Considering my geeky past, that's pretty remarkable. |

What Chris said,and the dude like lives in Dallas. |

If you're going to try them at any point I'd recommend the first 5 albums, and later ones with Nic Turner still in the band. I'm not a great Calvert fan. Although High Rise is a great song (one of his IIRC). |

Who ? Never heard of them ? Tush. Tish. Tash. You need educating my friends. |

How is it possible for someone to know Pink Floyd, but not the mighty hawkwind ? Nah, I don't understand man, I don't understand. I just don't understand, man. Like, I don't understand. |

Between Hall, Warrior on the edge of time and Quark! Tally Ho! |

Ruddy heck, it stinks of patchouli in here.
Reminds me of buying Runequest miniatures from 'Rivendell' in the Hippy Arcade. |

Your android replica is playing up again. It's no joke. When she comes she moans another's name… |

Warrior on the Edge of Time or Hall of the Mountain Grill. Depending. |
| richarDISNEY | 31 Aug 2011 7:38 a.m. PST |
Last time I heard of them was in 1986 highschool.
I cannot even remember anything from them.

Tough question.
Probably "Levitation", if I had to choose. |

As lemmy said of Hawkwind- we weren't the Pink Floyd. Also pretty much what 20thMaine said, except I really like Rob Calvert stuff a lot- a good album for any Americans; Lucky Leaf and the Longships. Hawkwind are so good it's just too much work to decide witch is my favorite. |

Do not know album ..but the one with "sonic Attack" |
| sumerandakkad | 31 Aug 2011 9:33 a.m. PST |
I go with the albums up to Space Ritual. After seems like a decline. I still go with I.SO.S & 'Master of the Universe' though a lot of good tracks on DOREME… and the others. |
| RKE Steve | 31 Aug 2011 10:28 a.m. PST |
I still have Hall on an 8-Track cartridge that still plays! Yes I have a player, one of those all in one 8track radio and turn table. |

Space Ritual. |
| Wilf12358 | 31 Aug 2011 2:54 p.m. PST |
Rob Calvert's other classic 'Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters'…. |
| Swampster | 31 Aug 2011 3:23 p.m. PST |
I bought a cassette which had Quark back to back with another album – Astounding Sounds I think. I liked both, but some of the other albums did nothing for me. |
| chronoglide | 31 Aug 2011 4:59 p.m. PST |
Astounding Sounds….where all good handles are born….;-) |

Hall of the Mountain Grill followed closely by Warrior on the Edge of Time. My 19yo son just bought the CD of Hall of the Mountain Grill, made me very proud. |
| Martin Rapier | 01 Sep 2011 2:45 p.m. PST |
Masters of the Universe a.k.a Hawkwinds Greatest Hits. Far out. |
| 20thmaine | 02 Sep 2011 6:59 a.m. PST |
But which one – there's any number of albums with that tittle, most of them dodgy live bootlegs. Do you mean the EMI "nice price" compilation with the cool covr art work ? Good introduction. On CD I'd reccommend the 3 CD Epoch-Eclipse for anyone wanting an overview of the band (has some rare tracks on as well). Even more I'd recommend the first 5 albums ! |
| kevanG | 02 Sep 2011 11:22 a.m. PST |
I am very partial to 'live 79'…. and the best version of sonic attack was on 'choose your masques' but it has ALways been between Hall and edge of time but when I hear 3 bars of 'lost johnny' its hall then 3 bars of 'magnu' and its edge of time |
