You're probably getting confused with THESE Hawkwind (& related) tracks -
Silver MachineHead
MotorMachineHead
MachineHeads
Voice Inside My MachineHead
Over My MachineHead
. . . . And, of course, there was an album entitled -
'Bring Me The MachineHead Of Yuri Gagarin'
. . . . So there you go. If I had a penny for every time a Hawkwind newbie made the same mistake you did, I'd be skint.

This use of 'Head' was common in the sixties.
'Heads' in general were counter-culture types.
More specifically, they could be 'Acid Heads' [users of LSD]; or 'Motor Heads' [speed freaks].
Not sure what a 'Machine Head' was - Purple tell us in all innocence that it refers to the tuning peg on a guitar.
What about that excellent band of Micheal des Barres, called 'Silver Head' - what was that about?
Mr. des Barres
