Hawkwind.....but I don't really know that much about Magma and just recently started to explore them a bit more.

Space Ritual vs MDK
Quark, Strangeness & Charm vs KA
Levitation vs ER
Warrior On The Edge Of Time vs Kohntarkosz

Tough call

Tough call for me as well, love both bands and Ian your matchups there sort of put it all in perspective for me. If I lined up my personal favourites it's difficult. It really depends on what I want to listen to at the time.
I'll be back with my pick as well.

Magma over pretty much every other band including Hawkwind (that clicked with me after having seen them live a couple of years ago. No Stacia in sight though).

I enjoyed both bands live in the early seventies. Hawkwind made some classic albums then but failed to maintain my interest in the ensuing decades. My vote has to go to one of the two all-time great innovative bands that still inspire to this day - MAGMA.

Jeez... tough call.

Classics like Space Ritual, Levitation and Hall of the Mountain Grill are highlights in a very varied discography. Stacia certainly made them a unique live show and they are often cited as a highly influential band.

I just can't deny how incredible a band Magma is though. They came out of left field playing their own brand of mutant jazz and continue to do so 30 years on without compromise (spare the incredibly strange "Merci" that I can't help but have a soft spot for)

Magma it is.

Magma are truly unique and visionary.  Still, I prefer the space metal hawklords.

Hawkwind leaves me cold

Magma is brutal and pure genius, the encounter point between Karl Orff, Wagner and Vander.

Though I do like some of Hawkwind's music (especially the albums they released when Simon House was on board), they never grabbed me the way Magma did. Vander's merry crew all the way!

I really like a few Hawkwind albums but this is an easy vote for Magma.

I'm with Ian on this.

Sitting on my fat ass on this one before voting.  Two giants, both personally loved.

Despite being traumatised by Hawkwind (or rather their naked dancer) when I was 19, I prefer them to Magma, a band I just don't "get" at all.
