Twenty-five tunes you've never heard because you were not listening.: #19 Hawkwind -- Silver Machine

After that Arzachel vs. Pink Floyd meltdown I introduce Hawkwind. They can clean this mess up. As a rock fan, I had heard of Hawkwind for years but was only introduced to them through, again, Pandora. Had I known more about these guys when in college, I would have been a Hawk Head. 

Here are three essential facts about Hawkwind. No, four, four essential facts about Hawkwind:

 1. Like Arzachel and Pink Floyd, the members of Hawkwind were, and are, Brits.

2. They have a tune titled Motorhead.

3. Which was written by this guy who once played with them. Upon departing he  formed a banded     named . . . 

4. They were contemporaries of, and collaborated with Sci-Fi author Michael Moorcock. 

My personal description of Hawkwind would be, Heavy Stoner Rock.  I believe that Silver Machine will stand up too that description. They also appear to me as a precursor to Jam Bands without so much improvisational jamming.
