Butch challenged me on Facebook, after I blasted his list as being awesome but too old school. Therefore… 1. We Are Motörhead 2. I’m So Bad Baby I Don’t Care 3. Smiling Like A Killer 4. Stay Clean 5. Eat the Rich 6. Burner 7. Motörhead (live Hammersmith version) 8. Shut Your Mouth 9. Overnight Sensation 10. Iron Fist 11. We Are the Road Crew Two other points: like the Alchemist dude said, Lemmy was a severely underrated lyricist & he got better with time in my opinion. You have to truly be a master of your craft when you write the bulk of lyrics over 22 studio albums. Also, with respect to Phil Taylor, Mikkey was the BEST drummer the band ever had. He’s what truly made them such a hammering heavy band as Lemmy always wanted.

I think Motorhead is part of the NWOBHM. They started in '75. So did Saxon and Maiden. Def Leppard in '76. My 10 in no order. Orgasmstron Overkill Back at the Funny Farm Dancing on Your Grave Locomotive Lost Woman Blues Rock N Roll Damage Case Motorhead (Hammersmith version) Killed by Death

[@darinmccloskey9906]

Motörhead was further along than the other bands you mentioned. The other bands hadn't released anything until 1979. I mean, if Lemmy says they weren't, what more do you need? Haha. >>ARE MOTORHEAD NWOBHM? NOT ACCORDING TO LEMMY? Motörhead were founded in 1975 by already experienced musicians. Their leader Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister was a former member of the space rock band Hawkwind, Larry Wallis had played with Pink Fairies, and Eddie Clarke had been a member of Curtis Knight's Zeus. Their previous experience is one element which divides critics and fans over whether the band belongs to the new wave of British heavy metal. Some believe that the band should be considered an inspiration for the movement, but not part of it, because they had signed recording contracts, toured the country, and had chart success before any NWOBHM band had stepped out of their local club scene. Motörhead were also the only metal band of the period recording songs with veteran BBC radio DJ John Peel for his Peel Sessions programme and the first to reach No. 1 in the UK Albums Chart with the live album No Sleep 'til Hammersmith in June 1981. Lemmy himself said, "the NWOBHM ... didn't do us much good", because Motörhead came along a bit too early for it". Other critics view Motörhead as the first significant exponent of the movement and the first band to fully implement a crossover between punk rock and heavy metal. Their fast music, the renunciation of technical virtuosity in favour of sheer loudness, and their uncompromising attitude were welcomed equally by punks and heavy metal fans. Motörhead were supported by many NWOBHM bands on tour, and they also shared the stage with Lemmy's friends' punk band The Damned. Motörhead's musical style became very popular during the NWOBHM, making them a fundamental reference for the nascent movement and for musicians of various metal subgenres in the following decades.

[@darinmccloskey9906]

Personally, I put Motörhead in the same class as Judas Priest and Black Sabbath. To each their own though, history is always subject to revision, I suppose.

[@growlers90]

Well done guys, what a hard topic. Anyone else surprised by how small Lemmy was when meeting/being close to?

[@legendmaker694]

Funny how much you guys all seem to love 'Another Perfect Day'. I know it has its die-hard fans but it never clicked with me. I like "Shine" and the album is full of potential, but the songs are too repetitive and they overstay they welcome, even the best ones. It was probably a necessary step to accept the end of the classic era and get a completely different line-up with fresh energy and vibes, but the initial attempt to just replace Eddie with Robbo and move on took its toll. I love the era just before and the one right after, but APD not so much. Anyways, countdown style as you did: 10/ Killed by Death (84) 09/ America (82) 08/ Deaf Forever (86) 07/ Poison (79) 06/ The One to Sing the Blues (91) 05/ Rock 'n' Roll (87) 04/ Shoot You in the Back (80) 03/ Stay Clean (79) 02/ Stone Dead Forever (79) 01/ Built For Speed (86) These are the ones I come back to the most, but I love most of these albums. Especially 'Orgasmatron', 'Iron Fist', and the classic trilogy. Lemmy stubbornly calling this stuff "rock 'n' roll" is one of the most definitive proofs that not all artists understand music genres and evolution all that well and/or can distance themselves enough from their own works to see them correctly in the bigger picture. I mean, there's always a certain "lag" from one generation to the next, with early heavy metal bands often celebrating rock 'n' roll in their lyrics, as if they thought they were still a part of it, then later almost all the OG speed and power metal bands celebrating heavy metal in their lyrics, and so on. Precious few genres or movements have bands celebrating the correct name in their lyrics, at least not right from the first generation (thrash is the big exception to that, but then again they lifted the name from its punk counterpart right from the get go). But even in this context, the most influential speed metal band of all time calling itself not even just heavy metal or hard rock but outright "rock 'n' roll" has always been hilarious. Sure, there's a lot of rock 'n' roll influence, elements and certainly plenty of references to it in Motörhead's discography, but that's just as true of Priest or The Crown (of Thorns) for that matter! ^^ Doesn't make it any less distinct from Willie Dixon or Chuck Berry. Anyways, fun times. Thanks for the vid and keep up the fun work!

[@mikeehinger6566]

I'll have to go on a Motörhead bender this weekend and decide on my top ten. It'll be tough to pick.

[@tombweavers3971]

Funny this topic came up, I've been thinking about this and my favorite Venom songs a lot lately. I met Lemmy very briefly when Motorhead were opening for Sabbath in the 90's. It was backstage at the Wharfield in San Francisco, he didn't seem well so I kept conversation to a minimum. But just being around him you could feel so much rock and roll history. The guy exuded total coolness. Heres my top 10 of Motorhead classics: 10. Vibrator, 9. I'll Be Your Sister, 8. Lawman, 7. Metropolis, 6. Deaf Forever, 5. Road Crew, 4. Shoot You In The Back, 3. Orgasmatron, 2. Dancing On Your Grave & 1. Iron Fist. I'm not familiar with some of the later albums, but so many choices on your 4 lists make me feel like that needs to change. So.....how about a top 10 Venom songs episode sometime?

[@darinmccloskey9906]

I'd be up for a Venom episode 😊

[@darinmccloskey9906]

​@williamgainford9332 yes! Absolutely great picks for your list. I don't doubt for a second that you're a Motörhead fan as well as NWOBHM. I just, personally, think there's a breakdown - not you specifically - I'm speaking, generally - in the basic understanding of what the NWOBHM movement was. It seems the only thing we "disagree" on really is the timeline. I also think it's about when the band actually came to fruition and not when they were formed. Otherwise, we're good, haha 😄 Thanks for watching and caring enough to comment. ❤

[@ZachyB98]

I’ll just say Iron Maiden began Christmas Day 1975 according to Steve. That’s too early to be NWOBHM according to a bunch of music historians saying you can’t call people NWOBHM before 77-78ish. Maiden the quintessential NWOBHM band. NWOBHM bands all had a big variance of sounds. A lot did not sound alike. My copy of welcome to hell by Venom says they’re NWOBHM…. If they can be included(I know earlier copies don’t, but the official CDs has it on it currently). Motörhead can definitely be included. They were working class, they had the look, and took heavy metal to the next level

[@darinmccloskey9906]

1. Soundhouse Tapes came out in '79 2. Motörhead s/t '77 3. NWOBHM isn't a genre it was a movement. 4. Venom is part of the NWOBHM

[@ZachyB98]

@@darinmccloskey9906 yes that’s their first release… Steve said he began the band on Christmas 1975. Check out the history of Iron Maiden part 1. I understand it was a movement, but Iron Maiden did not begin in 1979. Maiden were already on their like 4th lineup by the time and playing many many gigs. Motörhead fits the DIY blue collar attitude, they had the look, and they got international notoriety at the same time as the other big NWOBHM bands. They fit into it too well for me to say they aren’t part of the movement. We will just have to disagree. We can say they are at least the progenitor of the movement.

[@darinmccloskey9906]

​@@ZachyB98Saxon was formed in 1975 as well. Its not when the band was formed, it's based upon the time of released material.

[@darinmccloskey9906]

I know all about the history of Iron Maiden and the various members before the lineup was solidified and their first recording was made. I've been listening to Iron Maiden since 1981 when 'Killers' was released. I'm not telling you you can't include Motorhead (or whoever you want) in the NWOBHM. I'm not a gatekeeper, and I'm not here to argue. I was asked if Motorhead were part of the NWOBHM and in my opinion, (...as well as Lemmy's according to statements he's made regarding the subject in the press) they were too early. We'll have to agree to disagree... 😊
