Impossible fav track

Yep...actually, I think every album has it's merits....I wouldn't think that
any were  produced with a "hit song" mentality especially formulated for top
40 airplay to vie with whoever is popular at the time....Bay City Rollers,
Barry Manilow, Spice Girls, Kid Rock...etc etc.  Really can't think of a
"worst" song.  That is a different concept than the idea of the "least" fave
album.

Some albums were done quite well...with a continuity and flow that makes
people want to listen to them all the way through in one sitting......

Having said that, the idea to me, having had my life completely changed, or
having had Hawkwind music as soundtrack to portions of my life, as I'm sure
most will agree, is that the of "best" and "least" consists of what releases
are deemed as a whole as being total efforts at presenting material that is
worthy of purchasing an albums worth of music.

C'mon...some of the rehashed official "live" releases production wise don't
even come close to the studio versions.   You can't remake "Space Ritual" so
why try?  Yuri sounded worse than being recorded in a bathroom.  Some of the
later "Brainstorm" releases (if under differnent names), sounds  pretty
retarded compared to the original.  If the idea is to release music that
enchants...what were they thinking?  Headphones, a joint and listening to
Yuri....just didn't fit the description, for example....as listening to some
of the Charisma albums..or Space Ritual, etc.....quite a different
experience...

Not knocking Hawkwind music in general....but hey, this is a discussion
group for Hawkwind music lovers throwing their two cents in....and those are
mine......for whatever it's worth...
