HW: vote

[Michael W Blackman]

There was a website having a vote for best space rock band - Hawkwind being one of several on the list.  At the time I voted Hawkwind was coming 2nd.  last I heard they were one vote away from #1.
Not sure of the url now.
Should have read it, used the link and voted.  Might still be going if someone knows the url and would be kind enough to repost it.
If Hawkwind comes second then we can all blame you for not voting cause you fessed up first. teehee
-------------------

Vote for the all time best Hawkwind song?  Fuckin elllll......  thats a fucking challenge or what?
I think I'd rather beat myself over the head with a wad of rigamortis-ized gerbils.
Take your fuckin pick - their all fuckin good... great... classic..... fuckin ellll.... music to shagg to.  Orgasmic.... fantastic.... majestic.....
(( I really must stop watching the fuckin osbournes)
fuck me
