i don't think lemmy had as much of an infulence on 72-75 hawkwind as calvert
had from 72-78, i mean how many songs did lemmy write for hawkwind when he
was with them? People like Del Detmar, simon house, nik turner and not
forgetting dave brock had as much or more an infulence on the sound than
lemmy did. Just because lemmy went on to bigger and better things with the
mighty motorhead doesn't mean he should be credited as much with the
hawkwind sound as calvert was. BTW my fav period of hawkwind is their
charisma years when calvert was writing some of hawkwinds best material.

cheers
