Magna of Illusion

I had one of their albums. I haven't listened to Hawkwind in ages. Are they at the top of your list, Allan?

@Anthony: Not necessarily the very top, but definitely a favorite. Their earlier work involved Michael Moorcock, both thematically as well as a writer/performer with the band. My favorites:

- X In Search of Space

- Space Ritual

- Hall of the Mountain Grill

- Warrior on the Edge of Time

- Quark, Strangeness, and Charm

- Chronicle of the Black Sword

- Electric Tepee

- Love in Space

Space Ritual is their quintessential early sound, while Lemmy was still in the band. It's a live triple album. Hall and Warrior and Quark are most-often in heavy rotation for me.

If you like Moorcock-influenced BOC, you should give HW a try---the two were paired bands on the old boc-l email list that I've been on and off off since I was an undergrad ;)

PS - Happy Christmas and Merry New Year! :D

Imaginos is utterly brilliant. It barely classifies as BOC, of course...but it is brilliant.

I thought this might catch your eye, perhaps?: http://www.martinpopoff.com/html/flaming-telepaths-imaginos-expanded-and-specified.html

I haven't read Night Wolf Inn yet. I purchased it along with Zjelwin Fall and Geir Loe Cyn-Crul but spent the evening reading the latter two. Very nice!
