I've read interviews by Brock and Allen, both claiming to be mystified by the way the two bands are often bracketed together. Apparently this is a British thing - they are seen as very different bands in France for instance.



I think it's something to do with this forum, never mind the UK, I'm not the worls biggest Gong fan but I've never put them together, Gong are if anything more related to the Canterbury Scene whilst Hawkwind belong in the Fairies,Motorhead,Ladbroke grove scene, if someone said they wanted something similar to Hawkwind [well the classic era] I'd point them towards the Fairies or maybe early Motorhead or High Tide. If someone wanted to hear something similar to Gong I'd send them for a long sit down and some dried frog pills
