 Just
 wonderin', are there any other 15 year olds on here?  I'm almost 15
 and I don't know any othere teens who like Hawkwind alot.  I never used
 to like Hawkwind until I read the Elric series.  After I told my dad I
 liked them (he got me i nterested), he told me to give Live Chronicles a
 listen.  At first, I didn't wan't to, but, I'm very glad I did.  HW is
 one of my favorite bands.

 P.S.  If you would like, please post your five favorite Hawkwind albums
 so I can get a good idea of whats out there.

Well, I am no longer a teen (24 yrs old now) but I got into Hawkwind when I
wasn't much older than you.  I also had discovered and devoured the Elric
series (along with Corum, Erekose, and of course HAWKMOON).  I was also a big
fan of Motorhead and watched an interview with him in which he was handed a
bag of goodies and asked to comment on each item in the bag.  One of the
items was a Michael Moorcock novel (to which he stated something to the
effect of "a great author... but a pity about the last name.") and another
was a Hawkwind album.  I was 16 at the time, and had read some mentions of
Hawkwind in the gaming magazine White Dwarf, along with some mentions of
Elric.  I decided that I just had to hear Hawkwind.

About a year later, I finally found my first Hawkalbum: Anthology 2 on
cassette.  As I have said before and will say again, it can be such a pain to
find Hawkwind in the U.S.!!

5 Fave Hawkalbums?   In no particular order: Doremi Faso Latido, Quark,
Strangeness and Charm, California Brainstorm (how did I miss this concert?),
Palace Springs, and Electric Tepee.
