10 Hard Rock Bands Who Never Made A Bad Album
10. Motorhead
From the minute he set foot on the scene, Lemmy Kilmister was destined to be a rock and roller. After lugging around gear for Jimi Hendrix and making psychedelic music with Hawkwind in the '60s, the mutten-chopped singer had an even brighter vision for his hard rock destiny. Bringing together Fast Eddie Clarke and Phil Taylor, Lemmy turned his amp up to 11 and ruled the hard rock scene with an iron fist.
Whenever you throw on a Motorhead album, the music always feels like a locomotive coming to ram you into the ground. With Lemmy's booze-soaked vocal delivery and rumbling bass guitar, each one of Motorhead's releases have had an incredible consistency.
Though the contender for greatest Motorhead album is typically Ace of Spades, other albums like Bomber and even later releases like Orgasmatron are examples of how these guys can tear any song to shreds like it's second nature.
Motorhead's music was always looked at as a progenitor of heavy metal, but Lemmy always maintained that their music was rock at its core, as he proceeded to idolize his heroes like Eddie Cochran and Little Richard. There maybe a bit of an edgy presentation, but Lemmy's journey into musical badassery has made for one of rock's most consistent back catalogs.
