I think APD is a great album, although for me, not their very best. It's a shame so many fans slated it at the time. Brian Robertson was certainly the best musician to ever pass through their ranks.


Brian gave everyone a hard time, story goes, it's not that some fans dislike it. 


Yeah, he was awful to work with by all accounts, but I remember reading letters in Kerrang magazine at the time saying the band were nothing without Eddie Clarke.

Of course they said that. They didn't want the original line-up to end, and they didn't like Robbo's style and TONE. And those are exactly what I love! It's really the only Motorhead album I can listen to now.

I've only ever owned one Motorhead album and I drew the Ace of Spades. I just hope I don't get Killed by Death. Dead

I'd like to do a Hawkwind marathon sometime, but I don't think my eardrums could stand bombing through a Motorhead marathon too. Smile

That sounds great ! Hope that you are enjoying it. I was thinking about Nik Turner the other day. I remember a band he had called Inner City Unit I saw a few times. Also saw him with Hawkwind.

there are a lot of excellent Hawkwind albums after 1976. you would probably be very surprised how versatile their recent releases "Into the Woods" and "All above the Skylark" are, for example. and "Xitintoday", the 1978 solo album of Nik Turner, is in my opinion one of the best albums ever

We are still in the early stages (current album is "Hall of the Mountain Grill"). Since all these 60+ albums somehow deal with weird SF/fantasy/mythology/dystopia content we will probably believe in Qanon when we are finished.

Hi,

Strange ... I just got to listening to DoReMi and Space Ritual ... still love those albums!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I'm on a Camel marathon at the moment, including all of their available Live albums on YouTube, as well as Peter Bardens solo albums.
 
I like Hawkwind too, but I don't know if I'll ever get around to doing a Hawkwind marathon.
