Space Rock?

the problem about amt is that it's impossible to get an overview about their huge and totally messy discography, containing about 500 albums (tons of sideprojects included)
I still think of the Ozrics as the best space rock band
SusurrusIgnoramus:
i know they're not really space rock, but some times i can imagine Muse playing a concert on some intergalactic cruise ship or something.
it's probably just me being crazy though.

That's because they have a crazy light show.

--- End quote ---
Yes, but there are plenty of bands that do have outer space references in their titles and aren't space rock, so classifying them by that doesn't really seem appropriate? (I'm trying to think of an example, but can't really come up with one).
I've gotten some Porcupine Tree(Tarquin's Seaweed Farm), and the album has been playing on repeat. It's amazing. Does sound a lot like the old Pink Floyd here and there.

--- Quote from: DynamiteKid on 17 Nov 2007, 14:25 ---Hawkwind and Parliament win the thread. But you might also check out some SikTh. But then they have elements of everything, it's just the easiest way to describe them is basically 'Space Metal.'
--- End quote ---
No, not a good idea. I'm going to refrain from going into detail on exactly how bad a band they are, but regardless of that Sikth are definitely not anywhere close to space rock. Spacemen 3 and Hawkwind are definitely where to start, it's amazing how fresh and undated Hawkwind still sound.

They probably are a terrible recommendation for this poster, yes - I just recommend them anyway because they entertain me. I'm going to choose to pass over your 'how bad a band they are' comment, but they have elements of space rock. They have spacey middle sections, the improvisational passages (although I think they have them mostly nailed down by the time they record) the prog, the druggy haze.
