motorhead get recognition alright. their famous 'ace of spades' is one of the most well known tracks in history and is used in tv, radio and press all over, all the time. of course there's fuckloads more to them, and they really are one kick ass band
never get press for hawkwind though, most amazing band that lemmy got fired from after he got arrested for possession of drugs at heathrow airport. twas his bass playing, using chords that put them up there of course, gave them something different. they're still kinda underrated.
