"Bring Me the Head of Yuri Gagarin" is not officially acknowledged by the band and should be removed from the archives. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

| I personally like Hawkwind a lot, so it’s hard for me to choose a favorite album. I’m voting for Space Ritual 2, only for what it means to me. |
Posted By: Psychedelic Paul
Date Posted: October 17 2021 at 07:20
It's probably one of Hawkwind's worst live albums - with poor sound quality - so I doubt if anyone would miss the album if it wasn't here. I'd be even more surprised if anyone votes for it.

There are no 5-star albums for me in this poll (which makes a nice change) but Coded Languages: Live at Hammersmith (1982) just about has the edge over the studio albums.

The Xenon Codex , for me...The rest....okay ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |

I only have three albums by Hawkwind and The Xenon Codex is one of them.

Live 79 and Levitation are where the voyage started for me in my mid teenage years.. i worked at a venue where they played on the Levitation tour.. Ginger Baker's f**ing terrier bit me and he threw a drumstick at my head (which i did have still kicking about somewhere.. mind you i probably would have thrown a drumstick at my teenage self's head.. or worse..).. I ended up helping the catering company instead to stay out of the way! I saw them at a few local, small outdoor gigs in the West at that time too which was great and also their headline set at Glastonbury 81.. I have a soft spot for the 'Sonic Attack' lp and "Chronicles of the black sword'.. not so keen on the unofficial live bootlegs and the 70's stuff released by Dave Anderson on Demi Monde. 'Space Bandits' has to have a mention as Bridget Wishart was a great addition to the band with Simon House returning on Keys and Violin.. its a real shame that line up didnt write and record more lps ------------- |

I agree, Space Bandits is stellar. Maybe Paul will make a '90s poll so we can vote for it.  ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

The Chronicle of the Black Sword, with The Xenon Codex right behind it. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Of course, it was in the start of the next decade! Duh, so sorry, another case of me not reading the OP properly!   ------------- |

Levitation has got off to a flying start, already rising well-above all the other albums in the poll.

Levitation is my favorite of these, followed by The Xenon Codex. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

Levitation is a quality album. It's consistently good throughout. Good songwriting, good musicianship. It gets my vote, despite my username. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

It's funny, but I never associated your username with Hawkwind until just now.

| Not surprising about Levitation - I remember being excited about Tim Blake joining the line up in 79 (and then confused at Preston's Guildhall when 'Twink' appeared instead of him on the Levitation tour). Things looked up again when Nik Turner rejoined but he didn't really contribute (or allowed to) to any of the albums here. |

In a bizarre twist, "Twink" is now known as Mohammed Abdullah after converting to Islam.

But he has in the last few years got involved in making music again, doing interviews etc rather like Cat Stevens.. He's never turned his back on his music and i dont think he ever really stopped making music.. i dont think his faith is of any interest really.. ------------- |

When i saw them (on the later dates of the Levitation tour) i think it was Paul Hayles on keyboards by then ------------- |
Posted By: Rick1

It was Keith Hale who was the eventual replacement; Paul Hayles had deputised for the departed Simon House in 78 and also appears on the Sonic Assassins EP (an overlooked gem from the Calvert era). In early 81, Keith Hale famously departed to team up with Ginger Baker...

Youre absolutely right- it was Keith Hale i meant (gettin' confused in my old age..) Yes, i remember Ginger Baker + Trimmer & Jenkins (formerly of Burlesque) and possibly Keith Hale as 'Ginger Baker's Nutters' at Glastonbury 1981.. and the ensuing scrap between Baker and Roy Harper! ------------- |

Ah yes, recorded at Queens hall Barnstaple, not far from me- a saw a few hawkwind (and HW related) gigs in that neck of the woods ------------- |

^ Glastonbury 81 was a bit of a blur for me; i was about 17 and had drunk a lot of rough scrumpy so felt a bit rough I do remember seeing Baker walking around the next day with a big cut on his forehead! ------------- |
