List me 30 of your favorite Space Rock songs, no order necessary, and one song per band. If you can't do thirty give me twenty. If not twenty I'm disappointed and give me ten. If not ten I don't want to associate with you, and you need medical help  .Songs come and go, and swap places on this list quite often... and I'm sure there's plenty of stuff I've forgotten about or not heard. 1. Acid Mothers Temple And The Cosmic Inferno - Om Riff From The Cosmic Inferno 2. Amon Duul II (German group) - Yeti (Improvisation) 3. Amon Duul II (British group) - One Moment Of Anger Is Two Pints Of Blood 4. Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come - Time Captives 5. Ash Ra Tempel - Amboss 6. Billy Thorpe - Children Of The Sun 7. Birchville Cat Motel - 55000 Flowers For The Hero 8. Boredoms - 7 (Boriginal) 9. Christine 23 Onna - Drive To Crystal Planet 10. Church Of Misery - Hymn Of The Satanic Empire 11. Davenport - At The Foot Of Zodiac Mountain 12. Earthless - Sonic Prayer 13. Far East Family Band - Parallel World 14. Flower Travellin' Band - Satori Part II 15. Gong - Master Builder 16. Guru Guru - Space Ship 17. Hawkwind - You Shouldn't Do That 18. I.E.M. - Untitled 1 19. Kraftwerk - Heavy Metal Kids 20. Kyuss - Asteroid 21. Les Rallizes Denudes - The Night Collectors 22. Maat Lander - The Birth Of Maat's Galaxy 23. Nurse With Wound and Stereolab - Simple Headphone Mind 24. Pelt - Hippy War Machine 25. Pink Floyd - Interstellar Overdrive 26. Skull Defekts - Peer Amid 27. Skullflower - Diamond Bullet 28. Sun Araw - Horse Steppin' 29. Ufo - Flying 30. Vespero - Angriff, Ran, Versenken!

Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets Tangerine Dream - Fly and Collision of Comas Solas Amon Duul II - Phallus Dei Cluster - 15:43 Kraftwerk - Megaherz Agitation Free - Looping IV Yatha Sidhra - A Meditation Mass Pt. 3 Tony Conrad - From The Side of the Machine Chrome - Zombie Warfare (Can't Let You Down) Bardo Pond - Amen Hash Jar Tempo - Untitled 05 Ash Ra Tempel - Amboss Can - Future Days Manuel Gottsching - Pluralis Acid Mothers Temple - La Novia The Boredoms - (two circles) Fush*tsusha - Suki ni Yareba li David Bowie - Subterraneans The Dead C - Driver U.F.O. The Gods of Chaos - Stream of Needles Guru Guru - The Meaning of Meaning Labradford - Eero Nektar - Countenance Neu! - Hallogallo Ozric Tentacles - Eternal Wheel Popol Vuh - In Den Garten Pharoas Vas Deferens Organization - Modular Squad Dzyan - Back To Where We Come From Klaus Schulze - Synphara Steve Roach - Structures From Silence Got desperate at the end and included a couple of purely ambient pieces. Calling some of these space rock might be stretching it, but they certainly all have spacey qualities. I'm sure I'll remember 17 groups I forgot about later. |

Great lists so far. Nice to see Sun Araw included. Here is my take. 1. Hawkwind - Down Through the Night (from Space Ritual) 2. Ash Ra Tempel - Amboss 3. Pink Floyd - Interstellar Overdrive (don't know which version to choose) 4. UFO - Star Storm 5. Manuel Göttsching - Echo Waves 6. The Cosmic Jokers - Galactic Joke 7. Zacht Automaat - Ancaster Heights 8. DOM - Dream (though it's hard to pick one from this excellent) 9. Lard Free - Spirale Malax 10. Heldon - In the Wake of King Fripp 11. Gong - Master Builder 12. Cluster - Im Süden 13. Ashra - Sunrain (pretty sneaky here including Manuel Göttsching under four different names here, eh?) 14. Sand - Old Loggerhead 15. Guru Guru - Ooga Booga (hard to pick just one from them) 16. Bruce Haack - Super Nova 17. The Orb - Pomme Fritz (Meat 'n Veg) 18. Popol Vuh - In den Gärten Pharaos 19. You - E-Night 20. Galactic Explorers - Ethereal Jazz I think that's it for me. An interesting thing that I'm finding out while doing this list is that odd gap in me between how much I love space rock and cosmic music and how little I have in mind when asked for 30 of my favorite tracks. There are so many great bands I love and would love to include, but do not know any particular piece by well enough to say that it's among my favorites. Also shows me how little I come back to albums, even if I like them. Oh well, I guess that will come with age and time. Listening to Code III's Planet of Man for the first time at the moment - so good.  ------------- Categories strain, crack and sometimes break, under their burden - step out of the space provided. |

I do like that Bardo Pond track a lot, good call. Also nice to see VDO, they didn't even cross my mind. Sweat Your Cheeses is a great album. Also I think you meant The Flying Luttenbachers - Stream Of Needles?

Waht!? Only 19!? You disappoint me  .I had totally forgotten about The Embryo, that's a good one. Also thanks for the reminder that I had never listened to that Dashiell Hedayatt album, I'd seen it consistently creep up and up on the top psych albums, but never got around to checking it out. I just listened to it though, and holy smokes  , f**king love. Cielo Drive is fantastic, love how everything is held together throughout most of the song by that bass. -------------

Solid list, Star Storm is a great track, that whole album is underrated. I love that Bruce Haack album, super wacky and totally out there, didn't even think about though when making my list, Program me is probably my favorite track. Glad to find someone else who likes Sun Araw, I've only recently been getting into his music. The Beach Head album and Ancient Romans album are probably my favorites at the moment, though I haven't really disliked anything I've heard from him yet.

Oh yeah, that UFO album was pivotal in my musical development. It blew me away when I first listened to it a few years ago (I still didn't know prog almost at all back then). That's when I really became interested in cosmic music overall. Bruce Haack is a great musician. You put it well, it is indeed "super wacky and totally out there." Sun Araw is one of my favorite modern musicians. Ancient Romans is probably my favorite, but I also very much like Beach Head, On Patrol, and Belomancie. His newest release from March, The Saddle of the Increate, is also pretty nice, although not as spacey as he gets. ------------- Categories strain, crack and sometimes break, under their burden - step out of the space provided. |

I haven't listened to Saddle yet, that's something I'll get around to eventually. On Patrol hasn't grabbed me yet, I really only like Ma Holo, Deep Cover and Holodeck Blues so far. Belomancie is nice and out there, much more avantgarde than anything else I've heard from him. The Phynx is a great release and Heavy Deeds is pretty good too. -------------

I'd favour Flying Teapot as well as Master Builder! Do the vocals and flat production rule "So Boot If It All" by the Softs? |

Good list. I was curious if anything by The Flaming Lips would show up in any lists. TFL can make some great music, but they can also make some that's truly dreadful. -------------

Just about everything else was mentioned and there was no need to duplicate things. But there was also space rock in other things not listed ... like the glissando stuff that Daevid Allen did, Gilli's Goddess T stuff that is awesome, and other trippers out there ... I just listened (again) to Terje Rypdal's "Odyssey", the original double album ... and it was a trip to the stars for me. Or better yet, his album with David Darling ... EOS ... still the best chamber music album EVER DONE ... that most folks here can not seem to understand or appreciate. It's almost pure classical music ... but done with an electric guitar! To me, that is a great future for the rock medium ... not just another pop song! But few of today's trips into "space" really jive and fly ... I would even include some stuff by Egberto Gismonti, but folks here would be more interested in labelling it, than listening to it. Heck ... how about some Miles Davis, and even Sun Ra? You have to take it away from "songs", if you want to do this right ... or all you got is ANGE's "Le Marchant des Planetes". Very Nice ... but not enough! I would love to have added Wolff and Hemmings, and even Frank Perry, or even Stephen Micus ... but it would not help the list ... !!! Their stuff is not a "song".
