Or in other words...
...those who don't like Gong.

Even I wouldn't play Gong in a club.
EDIT I've just remembered, I have. I am a liar.

Ever tried dropping in a bit of Hawkwind?
Surely you could get the buggers dancing to a bit of Hurry on Sundown or Silver Machine?

Many times.
I have a 12" of 'Motorhead' which is always in the box. The 'Kings of Speed' 45 is a regular too.

Ah, good choices.
The Hawkwind version of 'Motorhead,' I presume? I do think it works a lot better than Motorhead's own reworking of that one.

Yes.
And Hawkwind have themselves done two versions, one's better than the other.

Ooh, now that I didn't know.
I may have to see if any kind soul has bunged the second version on youtube.

Which is the favoured version?
And what album was it on?
(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Fri 29 Oct 2010, 12:16, Reply)

One has Lemmy singing, the other Dave Brock.

Oh, hang on,
I do have a second version with Brock on vocals, which I think was recorded live (it sounds a lot more rough and there's no sax or violin) - is that the one you meant, or is there a second studio cut?

I cannot remember. I may have to double check
I recall (perhaps wrongly) that the version on my Motorhead 4-LP compilation (which has a Hawkwind version) is different from my 12".
