Progressive rock
Progressive rockPsychedelic rock

Hawkwind is a Progressive rock and Psychedelic rock act. Their sound grew out of Interstellar Overdrive, It's So Easy, Cymbaline, Pink Fairies and The Byrds. Those roots explain a lot about how Hawkwind arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Eloy, Wishbone Ash, Amon Düül II, Captain Beyond and Jethro Tull, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Motörhead, Sex Pistols, The Cure, New Model Army and Steve Hillage, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 39 connections around Hawkwind, reaching back through Interstellar Overdrive and forward to Motörhead.
