Top 10 Best Motörhead Albums

Overkill

This album pretty much invented speed metal. Crazy how they went from their debut album to this masterpiece just two years later.

Great classic! Stay Clean, No Class, Damage Case, and the self-titled Overkill make this one of the greatest Motörhead albums, right up there with Ace of Spades.

Ace of Spades

Born to lose. Lived to win.

Motörhead's Ace of Spades album plays like a greatest hits compilation. It's that good.

A masterpiece!

Bastards

Awesome album.

Bomber

They released two albums in one year. This was the second one, and it was fantastic.

An underrated timeless classic.

Orgasmatron

A top-notch album, and a comeback for Lemmy. It's different from any other record, with excellent drums courtesy of Mr. Gill.

Motörhead

Amazing debut album. It feels like a very raw and rough metal album.

It all started here! We have a lot to thank this album for.

Bad Magic

Just picked this one up. So far, it's pretty solid!

I love this album.

Another Perfect Day

Although not my favorite Motörhead album - that would be Ace of Spades - this one still rates high for me. They tried something different rather than copying Ace of Spades over and over again. This album was a real departure for them, with more refined guitar and even piano. Definitely underrated, though I can understand why it put off some fans expecting the usual sound.

I like the lyrics and the unusual softer sound.

The whole album is underrated.

Inferno

This belongs much higher on the list.

One of their most underrated albums.

Aftershock

For me, this is the best Motörhead album since 1996! The others are great too, but they get too repetitive for me. Not this one - it rocks!

On Parole

Iron Fist

This album is considered bad because of the standards the band had set themselves in the '80s. It was going to be tough following up Ace of Spades, and whilst this album is not quite as good, it is far from their worst. The title track is also one of their most iconic songs.

Iron Fist moves in a different direction. It's also the last album to feature Fast Eddie Clarke. Motörhead was never the same after this and never quite captured that same sound again!
