HW: Hawkwind and the Blues

[MiChAeL "aLiEn DrEaM" bLaCkMaN]

If one looks at music that way then all music is a "rip off" of something
depending what you hear in the song or who is listening - some clown tried
to tell me that psychedelic warlords (disapear in smoke) was a rip off of a
Nirvana song until I mentioned the fact that the hawkwind track was recorded
in the early 70's.
and I tend to find that the average listener can't really differentiate one
da-dada riff from another da-da-dada-dada riff even when each individual
riff has its own distinctive da-da-da sound.  and thats not even taking into
account the melody or the lyric content which gives a song something
differrent again.
