Hawkwind goes pop, and make some of their tighter songs. Spirit of The Age, Danmnation Alley and the title track are some of the best pieces they ever wrote. Robert Calvert brought a greater literary sci fi sophistication with his witty lyrics and brought New wave before it made a wave. A criminally underrated masterpiece.

This album was the blue print for alternative rock for the 80s and up. Punk Jazz at its finest

A Beautiful swirl of psychedelic noise, electronic tribal rhythms, primordial polyrhythmic pandemonium, controlled chaos of cacophony, this is the sound which summons spaceships of the elder gods.

Never has an album title been more apt. Its raw rage measured with primal animal power. Iggy sounds like a demon cut loose and out for blood. If ever your want to listen to an album while wanting to destroy the world this is the albums for you. Its the ultimate rush, of pure Raw Fucking Power

Dark Side has a lot going for it, but its a monolith of sound without heart and soul. This being a tribute to Syd Barret, has his ghost hiding behind every instrument and passage. As I have growing older I have drifted from Floyd, this is the only album that has value.

The Fairies are going to be stuck in the dustbin of history... but the music is going to survive the dust. Oblivion is an album of snotty punk defiance of three men who are doomed but screaming and making enough noise to ensure they will be heared. City Kids is the song that stops me from killing myself. Thanks boys
