Motorhead

[sixxswine]

I was asked by someone a while back if I could recommend a Motorhead album to them what would it be? Well, I have a soft spot for Orgasmatron and Rock 'n' Roll because I bought those two albums on the same day and they are still great ones in my book. That said before I knew it I was drawing up a list of 5 then 10 records. While some might say that this band much like AC/DC keep recycling the same stuff over and over I beg to differ. I would go a far as to say that Motorhead IS superior. I have looked over my Motorhead collection adn the only albums I'm missing are Bastards and Snake Bite Love both of which I have never heard or owned previously... Which brings me to ask, could you recommend just one Motorhead album?!

Ace Of Spades...no question

 

[The Ozzman]

I only own two Motorhead albums: Ace of Spades and Inferno.

I would recommend either.

 

[sixxswine]

For me Ace of Spades is a fantastic album, but it's become the obvious choice in their backcatalog. Much like with AC/DC, what do most people own? Highway to Hell or Back In Black right?

 

[The Ozzman]

I don't own either ACDC album. I own their live album and that's it.

There you go being the exception to the rule again!!!!!

 

[The Ozzman]

Pfft, I don't need to own it considering I've heard every single song on that album on the radio at some point during my lifetime.

 

[Sadian]

I love their new album its killer

 

[black blood]

"One track mind" is my favorite...so Another Perfect Day.

I'm so fucking sick of Ace of Spades.

i know what you mean, I'm so sick of hearing Ozzy complain.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

I'm so fucking sick of Ace of Spades.

The song or the whole album?

 

[sixxswine]

The song or the whole album?

I've grown tired of that song, I tend to skip it. More so now that I hear it everytime my kids are playing guitar hero...:Smug:

Ace Of Spades...no question

Fucken A! Ace of Spades ftw

 

[dalcon555]

the reason i'd recommend ace of spades is because its their first album and really hits the spot of what motorhead is all about

 

[The Butt]

I've only heard one album, Iron Fist, and that was because I wanted to hear the original version of the title track, after hearing the cover Sodom did.

I like Sodom's version better. :/

Much like with AC/DC, what do most people own? Highway to Hell or Back In Black right?

Let There Be Rock, Dirty Deeds, TNT and Back In Black here. I do need to repurchase Highway To Hell though.

Those are my 2 favorites...
I have March Or Die, Bomber, Ace Of Spades, Iron Fist, Inferno, and Overnight Sensation, but Inferno is my overall favorite for some reason...I like Ace Of Spades a lot but think that overall it is kind of overrated (album not song). For me, the song never seems to get old, but to each his own...

As for AC/DC, I have over the years collected most of their discography. Not willingly, though - people just keep giving me this crap. The only song I really like is Girls Got Rhythm. They seem like a good live band, but Angus Young is really overrated as a guitarist and they don't write good music.

Yup. It definitely is their first album, and not their fourth*. Genius. I'd forgive you but those first three (Motorhead, Bomber, and Overkill) are just a little bit famous.

*I'm not counting On Parole here, for no good reason.
