A refreshing poll at last Hawkwise you should have given more info about these 2 guitarists as not everyine knows their names. Roy Albrighton is the leader of english band NEKTAR, often thought as German as they were living in Germany back then, thus associated with ''krautrock''
Hugh Langton was this fantastic guitarist for HAWKWIND during the 80s.....going solo now but still gravitating around the Hawks....was part of the Hawkfest 2008.
Both deserve better recognition especially on this site, i think.
so tie vote

| I'm voting for Huw ( sure that's how it's spelt ) Langton, as he is short of support. He was awesome when I first saw Hawkwind, about '79 I think, at Manchester Apollo. Brilliant, mesmerising gig. |

Yepp your right my Mistake it is spelt Huw being from Wales Huw a good old Welsh Name and yes i think that 79 tour was one the best Tours the Hawks ever did all the band were on top form for that one Huw and Tim Blake complimented so well , -------------

| ^^ I'll tell you Hawkwise, Tim Blake, now there is a keyboard player, very underrated IMO. The Crystal Machine and all. Just thinking of that, gonna have to dig out my old Gong albums and his solo albums for a listen. |

I see this thread is fading into obscurity , such shame as there such good players , and Roy Allbrighton still flying the Nektar Flag there new album is well worth Buying , they made such good records its shame there not given more air time on this site , oh well lets carry on with inane question about whether Genesis are virtuosos or Zappa v Howe yeah thats comparing like with like yawns or who the best Musician pfft define Best ? Pfft again, like asking how long is a piece of string yawns again Rolls eyes Wonders of to make a Cup of Tea and Puts Greenslade Spyglass Guest on the Turntable -------------

I prefer Huw as well, being a seasoned Hawkfan (seeing them live will do that to you) . Never was a big Nektar fan, so .... ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |

I second my colleague febus' august comments. Some people just keep looking for the same comfort foods (leaving them numb) while there is so much to wish you were there (Hawkspace, Planet Gong, TDream, Bjorn Lynne, Spiral Realms, Pulsar, Parallel or 90 Degrees, Sunscape and so many more ....)
Too bad for all you uninitiated! ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |
