In need of assistance

[Guest JebusNassedar]

Alright, so I've been made very curious of Motorhead as of late. I just need to know one thing (sorry if this comes off as spam) :

 

What is the best Motorhead album to start with if you're just now getting into the band?

[DrainYou42 0]

I dunno which one is best, but i picked up 'Ace of Spades" first.

Ace Of Spades or No Sleep 'Till Hammersmith.

 

Actually, it's probably best just to get No Remorse, the double disc greatest hits album. It has all their best tracks, and no fat.

What LP said.

 

Although I would reccommend the 2 disc The Best of Motorhead instead, for three reasons.

 

1. It's a more complete Motorhead retrospective since it goes up to 2000, where the other is till 1984ish i believe.

2. It has their cover of "Louie Louie" on it, as well as Lemmy's old band Hawkwind's song "Motorhead" and Lemmy's sideproject Headgirl playing "Bomber" and "Emergency".

3. It comes with extensive liner notes that make the booklet a great read. Much to learn is presented within it.

 

I love Motorhead to death, but I really don't pick up all their albums because they do all sound the same. That's only reccommended for the Lemmy-obsessive.

Like Stevie, I, too, love Motörhead. But you should just find a bunch of "best of" albums, honestly. I started off with the All The Aces/Muggers Tapes comp, and then bought No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith. I'm somewhat peeved that I haven't been able to find a studio version of "Metropolis" (unless it's a Hawkwind song?).

There is a studio version of "Metropolis" called "Acropolis" that was released only in Greece. I'm pretty sure they'd put it on the boxed set which is on my wish list.

I got "The Very Best of Motorhead" its a best of obviously put together by a record company but its a good greatest hits with most of Motorhead's best songs.
