Today is the first time ever someone told me it was the first time ever they listened to a Hawkins album in full man.

Apparently they found a lot of old recordings from when Lemmy was with them and may be bringing out a new album.
Well, that's two of us.
I'm a fan and have most, if not all of their stuff.
Often listen to Into the Woods from start to finish.
Underrated in my opinion.

The Hawkwind experience isn't the same if you can't watch Stacia.

I doubt if you'd want to watch her now
Personally I can listen to Hawkwind tracks but a whole album is hard work, but I did listen to the whole of the Clash's Sandanista triple album in one sitting once about 25 years ago, and worked out that life was to short.

I saw Hawkwind live in 1976 or 77 - still haven't got a clue what was going on ...

I've seen Hawkwind several times, the first time was in 1972, just after Silver Machine was released as a single. I was 14 years old and I didn't really understand what was going on either. I got it a bit later though.

I have a vinyl copy of Space Ritual but a double album is more Hawkwind than I can listen to in one go. I still listen to Hall of the Mountain Grill about once every six months or so

It was Space Ritual. Not bad as background music but i dont think ill be rushing out to buy the back catalogue.
There's a hell of a big back catalogue - 32 studio albums, they're still performing and making records.

I'm not sure I've ever heard anything by Hawkwind other than Silver Machine. (Which is great.) Perhaps the thing I should do for the first time ever is listen to one more of their songs?

Hall of the Mountain Grill is their best album imo

Long Island Ice Tea is the bestest cocktail. Espresso Martini is a close second.
