>hello everyone, am new to this so don't know if this will work but here goes. been doing some work indoors so decided to listen to the hawk studio catalogue from the beginning, and after about the third day i suddenly realised lots of things, it was like listening to a radio show with totally different bands, there is no natural progression, no individual can be discounted because his/her input is invaluable to the whole, no album can be less than another bacause that is that album by that "band", no album should be judged for some time after its release ( iitbotftbd was awful when it came out but listen to it now), there is a classic moment on each album.its taken me 30 years to reach this conclusion, what thinks everyone out there.

Well I think two things.  One I'm thinking of my pet grammatical and
syntax peeves, but I won't go there this time..

Second I see where you are coming from, but think that although each
individual release has it's own personality, they are reflections of a
stronger theme which is Hawkwind down through the years.  But then I've
always been one whom, once I have decided I think a band or artist is
great, will allow myself an open enough mind to at least appreciate that
a particual release is where their artistic muse is at that moment in
time.  Guess what I'm saying is the diversity in the Hawkwind Catalog is
the trees, but the Forest is still the Hawkwind.  Is that a Koan?
