I’m pretty sure I did, but I’ll phrase it more simply this time.
It’s the most accessible/well known song for a band that’s not really all that accessible or well known.
And you are suggesting that Pink Floyd is not accessible or well known?
Is that actually it???
And also Lucifer Sam is the most well known song by said Pink Floyd???
Team Hawkwind 200%, of course I am motu (Master Of The Universe), so I am biased
Was that the Cubby Bear show where they did a Jet Engine Take-Off? Because that absolutely melted my face into a hot puddle. The dancer with the three-faced mask was awesome also.
I love me some Pink Floyd also, unfortunately Radio has so overplayed them that they have to go down a tier or two in my listening habits.
Well, if that’s how you interpret my statement, I think I’ll just let you live in your world of mystery regarding “why the obsession with Silver Machine when mentioning Hawkwind?” Enjoy.
I’ll leave you to your world where it is a constant struggle making any sense whatsoever and thus ending up talking a lot of crap. Enjoy.
Well, in the world of Space Rock/Psychedelic years after the era of the bands mentioned so far, there was Light Bright Highway. A trio from Texas, I think they’ve moved to Florida now. They avoided being remembered primarily by a single song through using the two-pronged attack of not having any songs, and not being too widely known. Every one of their performances is an instrumental improvised from scratch. I’m sure there’s a plan before hand, such as “start slow and build, if we get lost, try to regroup on a riff like this”, but it can’t be much more than that. 1998’s Moon, Glory and the 7th Sun has one free-form jam on each side. Side A is the one I prefer of the two. It’s starts slowly, but at the 12 minute mark, it’s flying. It’s a lot of sound for a three piece, partly because the guitarist had two of the most amazing 6-foot long double decker guitar pedal boards I’ve ever seen, and he knows how to use them. Certainly a guitarist that took Gilmour’s approach to heart.
And beating Piper at the Gates of Dawn’s by a couple of months was The Red Crayola’s The Parable of Arable Land. For an extra helping of sonic lusciousness, there’s no real gaps between songs. Those and the lead ins/outs on each side are filled in by The Familiar Ugly performing a “free-form freak-out”*. The song The Red Crayola is usually associated with is Hurricane Fighter Plane, but my fave is Pink Stainless Tail
*Fifty people beating on all manner of stuff, revving motorcycles, that sort of thing.
