''HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN GRILL'' but that's just a question of taste as there are others on this list that are great as well, like ''WARRIOR......'' ''ELECTRIC TEEPEE'' and more; just a great band (most of the time!!!!)
''PALACE SPRINGS'' is excellent too
......and they're still recording and touring!!!

Also Warrior of the Edge of Time for me, followed by Doremi Fasol latido and Levitation Magnu is mindblowing !
and my favorite live album from them is undoubtly Space Ritual

Warrior on the Edge of Time! Needless to say, their best release overall was the incredibly, mind-blowing SPACE RITUAL! -------------   |

always loved Doremi Faso Latido, my first Hawkwind studio album, and still the most listened to.

Well, it's good in as much as a prose-poem set to FX noise is good. Basically, Robert Calvert reads a poem by Michael Moorcock about what would happen (to the human race) and how to avoid harm in 'In The Event of Sonic Attack...'  I loved it the first time that I heard it ...30 odd years ago...  ------------- Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb. |

If you mean the Sonic Attack album, it's not as good as Levitation but is among the better of their 80s output.
I was going to vote for Warrior but the spoken parts are annoying me at the moment so I've voted for Doremi instead.

Quark is an incredibly underappreciated album. It's the strongest from start to finish, IMO, and the one where Calvert's genius shines through. ------------- The world keeps spinning, people keep sinning And all the rest is just bullsh*t -Steve Kilbey |

I only own two; Space and Warrior - I have to vote 'Warrior on the Edge of Time'. I have the vinyl with the fold out cover, almost as much fun to look at as play. ------------- Kryten : "'Pub'?

Glad too see someone else agrees with me about the incredibly underrated Quark, Strangeness and Charm. They certainly have released many great ones though! ------------- WWOSD? What Would OliverStoned Do? |

I only have Warrior, I thought it sounded quite punk, I do know they were one of the few prog bands that remained prog and yet were still trendy during the dark ages ------------- |

'Warrior on the edge of time' gets my vote. It has great moments, notably, 'Assault & battery/Golden Void' 'Magno' 'The Demented Man' and 'Spiral Galaxy' It's among the best produced Hawkwind albums too, with excellent performances from Simon House. It wouldn't be Hawkwind without all the sh!t bits though. I realise that Mike Moorcocks poetry is wholly relevant to the albums 'theme' but it sounds awful IMO. As do the songs 'Kings of Speed' and 'Motorhead' For a long time I actually preffered the Calvert albums. Astounding sounds is a strong album. I love 'Steppenwolf' and 'Reefer Madness' PXR5 & 'Quark' also have some classic songs. They are marred by Hawkwinds characteristic inconsistency, but I think Calvert pulled the band admirably through the punk/new wave era. I dont think this view was shared by many Hawkfans at the time. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |
