Um... if I don't know which songs you heard, how can I possibly say
whether all HW songs are "like that?" :-)

What I can say is that:

1) Not all Hawkwind songs sound the same.  (Phew!)

2) Hawkwind have probably covered just about every style in the known
   universe at one time or the other. :-)

If you would define better what "boring" means to you, and what things *do*
interest you, musically, I'm sure folks would be able to do a better job
suggesting something.  You mentioned you are a prog fan (a nebulously
defined area in itself), so maybe you would enjoy, e.g., _Hall of the
Mountain Grill_, _Warrior on the Edge of Time_, etc.

Cheers,

Paul.
