Though lesser known than contemporaries like Pink Floyd, the band is widely hailed as one of space rock's early pioneers, thanks to seminal albums like 1973's live opus Space Ritual, and its 1974 studio follow-up In the Hall of the Mountain Grill.
Onward they fly, always Hawkwind xx The first six albums are virtually faultless.
One of England's most enduring hard rock bands, Hawkwind were formed in London during the late '60s, just as art rock was coming into its own.
Bought the first LP as soon as it came out, and have basically bought everything else, and most 'Friends and Relations', since.

One of the great underground bands made good, saw them at imperial college Gower street 1970 I think, then lots of times after, with the lovely buxomed Stacey dancing away great times, and fantastic light show, once seen never forgotten. 61.

Biography Hawkwind has released over a hundred albums between live and studio since their self-titled debut in 1970, and have gone through constant line-up changes, with Dave Brock as the sole remaining original member of the group. Strongest and most 'together' the band have been in decades!
Opa-Loka off 'Warrior..." sounds like NEU!
Hawkwind gave free music to the people, took a space-rock anthem into the charts and had a truly anarchic 'don't give a f*ck" attitude at a time when most UK 'prog' musicians were taking themselves far too seriously.
Hawkwind from United Kingdom.
This English band has undergone as many lineup changes as a soccer team over the last three decades, but it's still a comfort to have Hawkwind around.
Whether the latest band tickle your fancy, it is all personal choice. 1
