I did not know that. Interesting.

yeah, lots of early hardcore punk bands modeled their bass after Lemmy's double stops. it's funny, i actually think Hawkwind had a much larger influence among non-progressive circles. Sex Pistols, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Kyuss & co., Suicidal Tendencies, the list goes on...

They do have more influence on punk and metal, but they have influence on prog too and I still consider them a prog band rather than a punk or metal band.

I think the best term that can be used to describe Hawkwind is Prog N'Roll

Seriously that has to be the best term I've pulled completely out of my ass yet.

1. Lemmy.

Listen to the album Escalator by Sam Gopal (1968), on which he does the vocals. It's Hawkwind. Now listen to Hawkwind's first album. It's not really Hawkwind, is it?

2. Dik Mik and his tone generators.

3. Michael Mor****.

4 and 5. Stacia.

:o)

I'm a HUGE Hawkwind fan. Recently I just replaced my entire collection of CDs with the new remastered Atomhenge releases. A much better sound.

Oh and I had to look up Stacia on Google Images. I see what you mean, yes!

Your Dad was into Hawkwind? That is cool.

An hour-long BBC documentary featuring Hawkwind, with plenty of humorous "Spinal Tap" type moments throughout...
