This page has been superceded by my
Top 15 Favourite Hawkwind Tracks from the
1970s.
I've left the no. 1 pick below for interest's
sake.
_________________
"A comment on the number 1 choice - it's
probably representative of the thing most of us
like Hawkwind's live sets for. To quote one
person: "nothing beats that moment near the
beginning of a live set when Hawkwind have taken
the stage and make the transition from the
electronics/intro to where the first song kicks
in." In fact, multiply the same thing by half a
dozen such intros throughout a gig and then add
on the adrenaline caused by the heavy stuff
itself....
[Now animated
superbly!]
Anyway, on with the countdown, in strict order,
and starting with the big number one!
- Born To Go (from various sources, but
most notably "Space Rock from London" and
"Space Ritual"), especially the marvellously
drawn out synth tone intro (on the Space
Ritual version only) and Brock's opening
riffing and the way drums and bass kick in.
Now available
in video form (almost!)"
