MOTORHEAD The Best Of CD (2000)

There is no argument to be had here. Motörhead is the reason the barrier between punk and metal was always a suggestion, not a wall.

This 2-disc compilation pulls from across the full Motörhead catalogue and does exactly what a best-of should do, which is remind you that Ace of Spades is only the beginning. Kilmister spent thirty-plus years proving that rock and roll played loud enough and mean enough becomes its own force of nature. Overkill, Bomber, Motorhead, Iron Fist, these aren't just songs, they're the reason a generation of kids in places like Melbourne's outer suburbs discovered that music could be confrontational, filthy, and completely alive. Essential dark alternative listening for anyone who thinks they already know this band, and especially for anyone who doesn't yet.

Released 2002. 2-disc CD compilation. UK origin.

Fans of: Overkill, Dio, AC/DC, Accept
