That's a good point and was certainly true for the first 13 or so years
for me. Warrior was _the_ album, all others were either preambles or
reiterations. I think it wasn't until Electric Tepee, that I started
*preferring* a contemparary Hawkwind rather _merely_ enjoying one.
These days I lean much more heavily on the last 3 or 4 years or so.

And I've finally realised what an excellant album IITBOTFTBD is! (Now
that one took longer than most, I grant you.)
