The Pink Fairies
 

Since i`ve been here i`ve never seen this band mentioned once.
Which is a shame given how many 'classic rock' kids there are around here.

They are the kind of missing link between Pink Floyd & Motorhead (Guitarist Larry Wallis was a founding member of Motorhead) .Really heavy riffs with traces of psychadelia. A bit like Hawkwind but with shorter more direct songs , and definetly one of the bands that became an influence on punk.
Go check out these 2 albums , you won`t be disappointed.

Could you upload an album?

Urban = Potential prunk rocker?

I have Never Neverland I can do , although my copy of Kings Of Oblivion is a really ****ty 10 year old copied tape so I can`t do that one.

Ok that would be cool

umm interseting name for the band... the missing link.. maybe i'll check them out.

I like psychadelia not prog.

:p:

Although your King Crimson marathon thing has interested me , i`ve only heard their first album.

Says the Hawkwind fan. ;)

I certainly need to continue with my Crimson reviews, when i can find the time.

They`re a psychadelia band :p:

They're both... Like Pink Floyd.

Warrior On The Edge Of Time is quite prog i'd say.

"And the wizard blew his horn"

Warrior On The Edge Of Time is one of their most hated albums.

Or at least it was until the 80s when they got even worse.

Oh c'mon.... I think Warrior On The Edge Of Time is awesome, i'd say it's their best studio album. :(

X In Search Of Space and Hall Of The Mountain Grill are more popular though.

I think it`s alright personally.But then again I must be the only person who likes their P.X.R.5 album

I was just shocked at how hated it was amongst long time Hawkwind fans

Well, i don't really associate myself with long term or purist fans... I'm a neutral kind of fan, no matter what band it is, i'm not a guy who posts all day on fansites or anything like that.

For example... Meddle is one of the least liked Floyd albums, and hell, thats one of my personal favorites.

Meddle is my favourite Pink Floyd album*


*Not counting the Barrett stuff

What about Animals?

I have a soft spot for that one

First Pink Floyd album I ever owned apart from Piper

I even made a thread about it a while back

I remember.

:)

Downloading now, i know we have very different tastes, but it hasn't stopped me from enjoying many of the albums you have recomended so far.

Too be fair we only disagree about crap bands :p:

And The Beatles vs The Rolling Stones debacle?? How dare you forget that? :nono:

Debacle?

It`s not my fault you were woefully misguided

:mad:

I wasn't misguided.... It was just a standard arguement, tis all.

I have been in many arguements with many people, by comparison our little clashe's of different opinions were pretty friendly, that's saying a lot considering the people i normally get into arguements with.

Great, great band, Never Never Land is awsome, 'Do It' really pulls you in at the start.

Ok ok ok ok, I think I'll move on, not a Pink fan

Did you even look at the thread? :rolleyes:

Hank Rollins did a pretty decent cover of it.

I think it was one of the first things he recorded after Black Flag broke up.

Can not find albums anywhere.



Edit: Never mind, both found.

Hank=Henry? Sounds cool, I'm not a huge Black Flag fan, but I'll check it out.

Bringing this one back from the dead.

Been listening to Never Never Land, fantastic album. It's like the other Pink band if they went hard rock.

Also just a minor request to the mods but this should be moved to the psychedelic forum.

Done.

And I've been listening to Kings of Oblivion lately, and what a great album it is. Love the band name too :p:
