Hawkwind have some nice albums, but a lot of bad ones as well. Magma's output is pretty solid in general. I'll go with the Kobaïans.

I'm not super familiar with both of them but why should that stop me.  From what I have heard, Hawkwind gets my vote.  They have some songs I love

I think some are voting based on the choices you gave.  That early Magma pick isn't going to win
any votes.  You should have put one of their better songs.  Your pick has to be in their bottom
5%.  I think once one gets into the fun side of Magma, like some of Attahk and Merci, it's makes
it easier to understand the band.  They aren't all about seriousness.  You can see that with the
gospel-influenced stuff they do.

I love Stoah and it perfectly represents the fun side of Magma while Merci represents Christian Vander at his all time creative low (which isn't that low btw). None of them are good as starting points, though. If I was to introduce Magma through one composition and not an album I'd go for Rïah Sahïltaahk (from 1001° Centigrades)

Love them both?  Which band featured members from both groups?

A little strange that I don't like Hawkwind though. Judging by their sound and aesthetics they should be right up my alley...but they're not. I still listen to Warriors once or twice a year to see if I've changed my mind. 

 


that is odd. I would have thought as well that Hawkwind is a band you would have enjoyed.

Vander comes across serious as a heart attack.....

Yep. I find it very strange actually. Every Hawkwind review I've ever read has made me think: 'Hot damn! This is an album for me! Most definitely!!' I then return to Warriors and am left completely under whelmed.
I love Motorhead thoughBig smile

Stoah is my idea of fun. Infact their two first albums are pure joy. And how about those burps on Maahnt (The Wizard's Fight Versus the Devil)? Funniest sh*t ever.

No contest for me -- Magma for sure.

And I also find Stoah (that over-the-top Hitler impression) and lots of other Magma music great fun. The first two Magma tracks I heard I would consider great fun ( 'Iss' Lansei Doia and Liriïk Necronomicus Kanht) and, yeah the Maahnt burps are very funny. What I alove so much about Magma is that it can be so over-the-top and then spiritual and beautiful... Great band. Another fun thing is when you mishear lyrics (doesn't matter if the fun is intentional or nor, one can bring one's own sense of fun to the proceedings). For instance, in E Re II, I mishear hear "ove supreme" lyrics as "Gotta love that knee, oh that knee". Hers a classic misheard lyrics vid:



And check out this performance of Otis (lol): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHYL1zrFwwU

That video is one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen! Even better than the misheard lyrics to Orff's "O Fortuna" (from Carmina Burana).
