Hawkwind hands down.
Listening to Sundowner V.2 as I write, Gong never came close to Hawkwinds 'spacerock brutality'. Calvert and Turner are worth the entrance money alone.
The only Gong track I ever liked was 'Master Builder'.
O.K, so most of Hawkwind's 80's - present output is pants, but I can still forgive them as their earlier records are just so f***in' good.
Bludgeoned enlightenment is how I like to describe their sound.
And come on, 'In Search Of Space' has gotta be the template to follow if your a cosmic mechanic. Don't even get me started on Space Ritual etc...
