Hawkwind (1969-present, UK) - 'Rock' is the central concept of the English group Hawkwind (Ladbroke Grove, England) and anything can be placed in front of it, resulting in genres such as hard-, proto-, psychedelic -, space and acid rock.

About the band name:
One of the band members from the very beginning, saxophonist Nik Turner, gave Hawkwind his name. Turner had an unsavory habit of gurgling (in English: to hawk ) and letting out crackling farts at the same time. By the way, Hawkwind was briefly called Hawkwind Zoo , probably to put Turner's cacophonous sounds, which make him a contemporary Pétomane , into perspective.
