I'm not familiar with that particular Hawkwind song, but I see it does include one Ian Kilmister on bass.
Steven Wilson has done a lot of stereo and 5.1 mixes of iconic 60s, 70s and 80s albums and they usually always get plenty of praise. I have Aqualung myself.

Probably remembered more for the nude dancer with massive cans than any music they ever did.
Most people — even rock fans from the 1970s — have never even heard of them, let alone actually heard their music, which is a shame. Very similar to Can in that respect — awesome 70s records than next-to-nobody heard.
Hawkwind is not easily pigeon-holed — they’re not exactly metal or prog, but not dissimilar either... they are definitely hard rock/acid rock/space rock/stoner rock. Radio simply wouldn’t play their records, probably because of the subject matter — mostly drugs, hallucinations, time-travel, etc. At their peak during the early-to-mid 70s Lemmy-era some of their best material was as good as anything LZ and PF were releasing.

Good old Hawkwind. Probably remembered more for the nude dancer with massive cans than any music they ever did.
Stacia! I saw her back in the day at a CAMRA folk festival. She inevitably got the girls out. Quite a sight, I’ll tell you.
Edit: Stacia ended up marrying Roy Dyke from Ashton Gardner and Dyke, who, for the younger readers weren’t in fact a provincial law firm, but the band behind “Resurrection Shuffle”

A 5-minute disco song with a 4-minute guitar solo - and it is glorious. Nile Rogers guitar here is sublime.

Anyone who harks back to the days of 'classic' rock of the 70s ( of which there was obviously heaps ) need only listen to this song to realise shit music was as prevalent then as it is today.
Still, I bet he made money off it and obviously got damn near suffocated every time he snoozed off in front of the mrs's chest.

I don’t know if he made that much, they were a true one hit wonder. This was indeed a load of crap, and there was no shortage of it in the 70s, no argument from me there.

Too easy. Sex and Drugs and Rock & Roll.

Barney Bubbles?
Did see your answer late last night but yes, Barney Bubbles, artist for Hawkwind album covers and creator of the Blockhead logo among many other things.

I keep this on repeat lately. Just something real catchy about it.
