With albums titles such as <i>Warrior on the Edge of Time</i> and <i>The Chronicle of the Black Sword</i> -- an adaptation of Michael Moorcock's fantasy novels -- it should come as no surprise that the sonic air fluttering around their rock wings is a mix of early Metal, Prog, wild synths and drug-induced sci-fi surrealism. Hawkwind may be the favorite band of elves, trolls, warlocks, witches, druids and Smurfs, but a career-spanning compilation by them is a history of rock unto itself. Like a real-life Spinal Tap, Hawkwind mastered gritty Blues Rock, Roots rock and early Metal (their Top-5 British hit "Silver Machine" was belted out by Lemmy, who later went on to front Motorhead) before becoming a unique Progressive Rock band. Nearly every other 1970s Prog band has long since fallen by the wayside, but Hawkwind continue on. Perhaps chanting to the "Hairy Hosts of Hogar" was a good career move after all. - Nick DedinaArt & Progressive Rocken720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:07:26 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3313&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fhawkwind%2Fplaylists.rss 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.
