Ranking the Studio Albums: Motorhead

Join host Pete Pardo as he ranks the studio albums of British heavy rock favorites Motorhead. #motorhead

[@patrickcrowther9195]

I’m not someone who tends to feel a deep sense of loss when my favourite musicians die. They’re not my friends, they’re not my family. But there are a few exceptions. One was Freddie Mercury, because he made the world a better place. Another was Ronnie James Dio, because of his huge talent and the fact that I met him when I was 15 and he was the perfect gentleman. And lastly there was Lemmy. Because he stood for something greater than the music, a way of living your life the way YOU want to and fuck anyone who says differently. I miss him.

[@cheetahshine4525]

not so much felt a deep sense of loss when lemmy died, after all he said ' i dont wanna live forever'..but it did suck.

[@haggisman1971]

1916 is a great album. Remember it also saved the band's career

[@kg0173]

Was nominated but got beaten by Metallica.

[@jamesmoss3424]

Motorhead should be in the rock n roll hall of fame right now.

[@Baz63]

damn right!!!!

[@Fiery-Arctic]

No one really cares about the HOF anymore

[@moonspell6759]

rnr hof is a joke....useless morons giving RnR status to Kenny Rogers....skip the RnR HoF, it is pure bunk.

[@ronaldjames6067]

Lemmy must be in the Jack Daniels Hall of Fame, for sure ...

[@docdeens4030]

they could have put Motorhead, Little Richard, the Stones and Jerry Lee Lewis in and just stopped after that, and they might still have some respect.

[@iilias1]

I agree in general except 1916 should be much higher-inferno is a masterpiece

[@treffbennett6534]

yeah, 1916 stellar from top to bottom and Inferno is just that-a volcanic, fire-starting assault on the senses.....in a good way! cheers!

[@CasperHulshof]

Agreed, I have a soft spot or 1916. Some of the songs made me laugh out loud ("I'm gonna eat my own shirt"). And the title track is great.

[@sspbrazil]

ilias kokkinos I agree about 1916, that album is great.

[@jimhunt2283]

1916 is great! I agree.

[@slackerdc]

I can understand most of his list but yes 1916 is a top 5 Motörhead album that's just science.

[@Baz63]

i've met someone who hates Motorhead...my wife so a useful tool to have. "If you don't let me go to the pub i'll play some Motorhead"..."okay you can go to the pub". Anyway i agreed with Lemmy that the band released better albums after Ace Of Spades and, for me, their best and heaviest is Sacrifice. Back in the day i played a game of pool against Lemmy (and lost) in a pub near the Rainbow Theatre in London when Motorhead (prior to the band becoming big stars here in the U.K.) and Budgie were on the same bill...great days. God i feel old!!

[@samkinison2375]

You need your wife's permission to go to the pub haha we all know who wears the pants in that relationship

[@treffbennett6534]

Sacrifice kills people dead! HEAVY!

[@Baz63]

she used to throw the discus for Essex...i need sympathy.

[@VintageSG]

Motorhead AND Budgie on the same bill?. Bloody hell!. Were you deaf for days or weeks afterwards?. Budgie were great live, always worth watching. Aside from the Wallis/Fox line-up, I saw every line-up over the years. Only the Robbo show was less than stellar, but even that was pretty damn fine. 'Another Perfect Day' has grown on me over the intervening years. Post AOS?, my favourite is 'We Are Motorhead'

[@Baz63]

I'm sure i must have been deaf and now i have intermittent tinnitus. Still can't complain i guess. I agree that Another Perfect Day is a real 'grower'.

[@brunovallesmunoz4757]

1. Overkill 2. Iron fist 3. Ace of spades 4. Another perfect day 5. Motorhead 6. March or die 7. Inferno Honour mention: Kiss of death! It was an anvil on my life when it came out!! Cheers everyone! Thanks Pete!

To me Bomber probalby is on #1.

[@afterburner2869]

I’ve been to a lot of concerts in my life all hard rock and heavy metal, all loud as you can imagine. No band that I’ve ever heard was as loud as Motörhead. A Motörhead concert is a deafening roar of awesomeness and power!🤘🏻

[@oliverl.5834]

Funny, I've had "Overnight Sensation" since the late 90s and never really listened to it until Lemmy's passing. Turned out that I missed something. Personally I think that it's really great.

[@overtheedge4711]

@@JCStorm76 I agree. I was kind of bummed when it was the first one up. I thought it was one of the more original sounding albums in their later years. I love I Don't a Believe Word, Love Can't Buy You Money, the punky title track, hell there isn't a bum track on it.

[@olahakefelt2875]

Awesome album! I was sold on it when it first came out, and I still love it and listen to it regularly! So much variation, from ´Crazy like a fox´ to ´Shake the world´, and still it holds together very well as an album.

[@gyslainbeauchamp9241]

yeah,missed..listen to brixton academy 2000,see great live songs from this album

[@skalamaz3]

I'm slowly buying every album, ep and live album I can but so far as in studio albums, Overnight Sensation is easily the best. love it from beginning to end.

[@paulcoleman3081]

Perhaps the only band ever who never lost their 'band of the people" status. Lemmy was like the spirit of every rock fan in the world made into flesh: one of us who was somehow up their doing it. What an underrated lyricist he was as well. Wise and funny guy who led several versions of a great band.

[@Gregbaltzer]

Really surprised by Overnight Sensation being so low. I love that album a lot more than I ever did some others like Snake Bite Love, or March or Die. I still rank Overnight Sensation higher than a lot of their more recent albums, for the same reason that I didn't form an attachment with them(as I was buying albums from other bands)even though I have every Motorhead album. The last Motorhead album that really blew me away as Inferno.

[@AMCmachine]

The cover photo from Ace Of Spades always reminded me of something that would have been on a ZZ Top album.

[@weweighem2732]

AMCmachine Lemmy was a ZZ Top fan. I also love the Wild West look

[@AMCmachine]

@Kirby Little Pretty sure Lemmy was a fan so kinda makes sense! ; )

[@thegoose0m1]

I read somewhere that they of course were going for the old wild west look but since they were in England, they used an old slag heap somewhere in the coal mining area of the UK to stand in. Works for me!

[@stevemcnary7963]

I always thought it reminded me of the cover of Smash Hits by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Lemmy was a roadie for Jimi back in the day.

[@mrodzen007]

Very similar to the El Loco cover.

[@oliverl.5834]

My 1st Motörhead was "Snakebite Love". I actually bought in a 2-Pack with "Overnight Sensation". The reason I bought it was the title track which I had on a promo sampler that came with a Magazine. I didn't care much for Motörhead before that, to be honest. That changed in the last 10, 15 years or so. I did know some older songs before "Snakebite Love". But I didn't take to them then, however. I don't have all of them. I bought "We're Motörhead" and "Hammered" when they came out. Then I basically stopped buying their new Albums because I didn't care for these two records. I did like some of the older stuff I bought around that time better. I don't have all of them. I rank the ones I know (with two ommissions): 16. Hammered: I basically only remember "The Game". The other Songs just came and left. 15. We're Motörhead: More or less the same as with "Hammered". It's just three songs instead of one that stuck with me. 14. Sacrifice: It's kinda nice but it doesn't really stick out to me. I rarely listen to it. 13. Motörhead: I mostly agree with your points on it. 12. March ör Die: Bought in another 2-Pack with "1916". I listened mostly to the latter back then and discarded this one. I listened more to it in recent years and it's very decent in my opinion. 11. Bastards: One of my earliest Albums by them. I like it quite a bit. But the others are more to my liking. I heard that it you couldn't buy it in the US back in the day. 10. Snakebite Love: My 1st. Still love it. It just happened that some of the Albums I bought later (or listened to later in the case of "Overnight Sensation") are even better to me. 9. Iron Fist: Some great tunes. But probably the weakest of the classic Albums by them. I like the others more. 8. Bomber: Great Album. Maybe a bit raw because it came very soon after "Overkill". I think it could've been even better had they put more time into it. 7. Bad Magic: I reorientated Career-wise a couple of years ago. One of my teachers was a fan, too. He told me that this is a masterpiece. I bought it & had to agree. It wasn't the 1st newer Album I bought after stopping because of not really liking "We're Motörhead" & "Hammered" so I had some more incentive to do so. More later. Love that one, though. 6. "Overnight Sensation": Like I've said, I only started listening to it after Lemmy died. I basically just listened to Motörhead for 2 months. And fuck, I loved that one. 5. Orgasmatron: Love it. My mother listened to Motörhead. Like I said, I didn't care much for them at first. With the exception of the title track. Another early Album for me after I started listening to them. 4. 1916: That's a Killer to me. I bought because of the titletrack (again). I love from top to bottom. It's one of the Albums I've listened to most in my life. 3. Ace of Spades: Another classic. I don't really have anything to add to your reasons, Pete. 2. Overkill: Same here. And now for the big surprise. My number one is actually the 1st newer Album I bought again after stopping to buy their new stuff. What got me interested was one song that appeared in my KZbin-Autoplay while listening to some of their older stuff. I thought that it was from a Soundtrack to "Sons of Anarchy" because the Video was presented in such a way. And maybe it's on the Soundtrack, I don't know. I listnened to that Song again and again. And someday I checked wether they put it on one of their Albums. I bought it. I love it. I can listen to it all day without getting tired of it. I love every fucking Song on it. 1. The Wörld is Yours The Song appearing on my Autotune was "Brotherhood of Man". I highly recommend to check out this one. I've bought "Motörizer" and "Aftershock" pretty recently. I've only listened to each once and can't yet rank them. Another great Show, Pete. Thank you.

[@yaragilmour4648]

RIP Lemmy. One of the best frontmen of all time.

[@leighfoulkes7297]

I've pretty similar picks but I'd add "1916" as number 2 for me. It has my favorite Motorhead song on it with "No Voices in the Sky"!

[@Hamptainment]

Was shocked how low he had it, and Sacrifice

[@slaydesaid8741]

@@Hamptainment Yeah, these two were surprisingly low rated.

[@robertrobertsakarogerslemer]

Bomber is my number one By the way, Bomber is one of the my all time favorites 1 - Bomber 2 - Overkill 3 - Motörhead 4 - Another Perfect Day 5 - Iron Fist I love Ace of Spades either but I dont like the mixer, the guitar strident sound over satured on treble. I prefer Motorhead sounding heavy such as Bomber and Overkill instead to sounding more speed than usual. I would love 12 tracks sounding as like The Chase is Better Than Catch.

Great vid! I didn't get into Motorhead until about 5 years ago at the recommendation of a friend and absolutely love it.

Just got my daughter the vinyl 'Everything Louder Forever' for Christmas, daddy can be cool if need be.

Great review, Pete. You hit it on the head when you said that sometimes an album hits you because of where you were at the time. I bought Iron Fist when it came out, based on the cover alone. Loved it. But then Another Perfect Day came out and I was blown away. For me it is their best. Never quite understood why it was so panned at the time. I always thought that there were hints of psychedelia that hearkened back to the Hawkwind days and that stepping out of the box made for an exhilarating album. Again, thank you for your list!

[@Rolf2112]

Lemmy took the average kid and turned him into a star of his own. Motorhead was a favourite band to metalheads, punks and new wavers. Every album is good, love the classic stuff, "We are Motorhead" from 2000 maybe the best of the last 30 years.

[@PazBinv1]

I'd agree. We Are Motorhead is a strong album at a time when the albums were becoming very similar.

[@treffbennett6534]

The fact that Lemmy and co. put out nearly an album a year, or at least every other year, and there was only one turd in a field of gold is nothing short of astonishing, March Or Die being the only misstep, Lemmy must have been listening to a lot of Sinatra and watching MTV power ballad documentaries. Non-stop touring all over the globe, laying waste to corporate sell outs and watered down, spandex sporting girlie men, Motorhead will forever be synonymous with character, passion and great humour….i.e. REAL! Lemmy Kilmister was born in a hollowed-out Marshall Stack, already clad in leather diapers, with baby-friendly slot machines in the corners, and a microphone placed unusually high, above center of crib.....from then on, everything seemed louder than before. I present the evidence: 1.Overkill 2.Ace Of Spades 3.Inferno 4.Orgasmatron 5.Bastards 6.We Are Motorhead 7.Bomber 8.Sacrifice 9.1916 10.Iron Fist thank you, Lemmy, Philthy, Fast Eddie, and Wurzel R.I.P.

On Parole is a bit of a mixed bag but Larry Wallis absolutely superb on Iron Horse. Title track is a stomper. Vibrator groovy and hilarious.

I was lucky enough to see their first ever gig as a four piece with Lemmy, Wurzel, Phil Campbell & Pete Gill. It was at holiday camp in a place called Caister- on-Sea in Norfolk England. Amazing gig, even without the Bomber. They had brought it with them but it wouldn't fit the stage. I have mentioned this elsewhere as it was the gig I roadied for them & Lemmy mentioned to watch out for a band called Metallica.

Lemmy already had captured me during his time with Hawkwind and the albums he did with them are still my top Hawkwind albums (DOReMI...or Hall of the Mountain Grill). When he started Motorhead it was probably the hardest sound anyone had heard to that day played at that lightning speed. Their sound was unique and stayed unique until the end, Lemmy created a genre for himself. 1. Ace of Spades 2. Overkill 3. Motorhead (Ranked this high because I was there when it happened and it immediately convinced me that this was a great band coming. There was even some pre-release played on some radio shows in 1976 of the original sessions that came out later as On Parole. The title song, The Watcher and Lost Johnny had been previously appeared with Hawkwind - the new versions made clear where Lemmy was going with his own band) 4. Bomber 5. Orgasmatron 6. Rock 'n' Roll 7. 1916 8. Iron Fist 9. Bastards 10. Another Perfect Day 11. We Are Motorhead 12. Inferno 13. Sacrifice 14. Kiss of Death 15. Motorizer 16. Overnight Sensation 17. Snake Bite Love 18.

[@WhizzRichardThompson]

Motorhead was the first band I ever saw live (1978). They were great and played 'Motorhead' at least twice due to lack of material. My hearing is still yet to recover fully.

[@drewfireset2]

Bomber and Overkill where my First Motörhead Albums! Best ever! I had a Lot all over 10 Albums! I was surprised as I didn't remember that how many! Not all but quite a Lot! Thx Pete! Like your Work!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@toneman8478]

Overnight Sensation that's a friggin great album!!

[@daroblackheart383]

Indeed. Along with "1916" are my two favorite 90's Motorhead albums. Great stuff.

[@chrisbarnette7137]

Pete, I love your videos and may I say you jam some killer bands and tunes. This is easily one of my favorite bands. There 90's work gets over looked but it's just as good as the early stuff. Love some Hawkwind too...

[@benjaminbreeg9838]

Hi, Pete! Always watching your vids. Have you thought abt ranking David Bowie stuff?

[@JamesThomas-dz4vj]

Great video, Pete! I tend to favor some of the more recent material, perhaps because the production value is better. "Inferno" is my favorite Motorhead album, with "We Are Motorhead" and "Overnight Sensation" following behind. I really enjoy "Snakebite Love" as well, even though it might have a bit more of a commercial leaning. Can't go wrong with any of them, though!

[@delrivers4309]

I became a Motorhead fan through the Ramones. I heard that they also worked with Dave Edmunds when he was on Led Zepplen's Swansong label. Great stuff!

[@marguskiis7711]

No "On Parole", the real debut album? Why?

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

Because a) I don't have it and b) they basically redid the whole albums as Motorhead, which is what the majority of the world has heard.

[@luisgarcia6007]

On parole is fantastic

[@neonknight821]

Hey Pete, are you gonna do a ranking the studio albums for David Bowie? Just curious

[@darkhymnsfromthecoldnorth]

This one slipped past me somehow! Glad to be watching it now. Personally, i love Motorhead. I've heard all their albums, but own probably less than half. Which, i have been working on.

[@PerfectMask1]

Great video, would love to see a UK connection on Motorhead

[@volcanope]

Overkill was my first motörhead album too! And it's also my favorite

[@Morbidous]

Your top 5 seem like done by a Metal God.

[@laudanum669]

Now I have seen the list. I have a few in different order but why split hairs on one of the greatest bands I have ever loved. Thanks Pete.

[@carlosdeno]

My first gig Pete, 04/04/1979 Sheffield City Hall. Changed my life forever, I was 15 years old, and saw Motörhead more times than I can remember. Stay Clean my favorite song! Two of Lemmys plectrums sit in my collection, one from Nottingham Rock City, the other Manchester Apollo. Bastards, Sacrifice and 1916, class! Another Perfect Day is an album that Lemmy loved in his later years and played many tracks from it live 2000 on. Iron Fist poor! Fast Eddie production. Overkill rules!!!!! The best Motörhead Album every track a winner!

[@laudanum669]

@Sea of Tranquility Pete I know from watching many of your video's that we are almost the same age. I was just wondering what was your reaction to seeing the band live for the first time? My friends and I had listened to them bought the albums. But when I saw them live for the first time Lemmy singing into the mic several inches higher than him threw me for a loop. I wasn't the biggest Robbo fan but he did get me into their show after I was turned away for being to young (1982).

[@mermaidthrasher4235]

Yes!! thank you for doing Motorhead My fave album is Overkill as well.

[@OutOnTheTiles]

Bro you do a great job on this channel. I appreciate the work your doing sharing all this great music ! ✌️❤️🇨🇦🎸

[@diamondd2778]

Great episode too!

[@aleast4434]

Hi, Pete, where can i find the "Judss Priest" -Sad wings...shirt you are wearing? I would be very happy about help. Thanx and Stay healthy Al

[@garyjoyce2160]

SEPULTURA named themselves after that 1983 album from the Song “ Dancing on your Grave SEPULTURA is Grave. In Portuguese

[@LuchaLibertaria]

They also used to cover Orgasmatron

[@garycreswell9107]

Love this band. My top 5. 1. Overkill 2.Ace of Spades 3.Bomber 4.Orgasmatron 5.Another Perfect Day.

[@tarakb7606]

Thanks for the video. One of my very favourite bands. I would have ranked their debut album and 1916 higher. I agree with Overkill. It is their best studio album with their best lineup. (Stone Dead Forever is my favourite Motörhead song. Any chance of a Top Ten Motörhead songs video?). Lemmy, Philthy and Fast Eddie. The real deal. RIP

[@kamranmalik8546]

Thanks for posting this, only missed March of Die (1992), The World Is Yours (2010), and Aftershock (2013), nonetheless great rankings.

[@jimthar17]

And Kiss Of Death.

[@juandocampo4026]

And Motorizer

[@tosse2011]

Amazing video... Love it!!

[@lonegroover]

I loved Motorhead back in their heyday but mostly tuned out after Ace of Spades. I've listened to their later stuff only sparsely, though I do like some of it. First saw them in a club in Middlesborough in January 1978, touring the first album (still my favourite, just beating Overkill). Good times.

[@gamleskalle1]

Yes, finally! Love Motorhead.

[@nightboundofficial129]

"Overkill" forever!!! "Limb From Limb" is a hidden classic!!!

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

Essentially a trio again from the Sacrifice tour on, since Wurzel left before they hit the road. Such an underrated guitarist he was, by the way. Overkill Another Perfect Day Iron Fist Bomber Ace of Spades Motorhead Overnight Sensation Orgasmatron Rock’n’Roll Bastards 1916 Inferno Hammered Bad Magic March or Die Kiss of Death We Are Motorhead The World is Yours Sacrifice Aftershock Motorizer Snake Bite Love
