Can I be pedantic and say that Motorhead was a song written for Hawkwind and thus doesn't qualify?
No?
Ok then...
Hawkwind was named after Motorhead? Boy, this is getting confusing now...
(Would "Pedantic" be a good band name?)
There are several versions, but apparently "Hawk" was a nickname for Nik Turner, and "Wind" became a joke about his flatulence ... and the name was born! Motorhead went on to make himself quite a name, but I don't think his work is half as good as Hawkwind's.
Still love listening to "Electirc Tepee" and its ambient sonic/rock attack ... absolutely wonderful and plays well non stop. It's probably become my favorite Hawkwind album, and I love toomany of them!
