Rate The Artist/Musician #55 - Motorhead
Motorhead http://blog.news-record.com/staff/culture/Motorhead.jpg Motörhead are a British heavy metal band formed in 1975 by bassist, singer and songwriter Lemmy (real name Ian Kilmister), who has remained the sole constant member. Usually a power trio, Motörhead had particular success in the early 1980s with several successful singles in the UK Top 40 chart. The albums Overkill, its follow on, Bomber, Ace of Spades, and particularly No Sleep 'til Hammersmith, cemented Motörhead's reputation as one of Britain's foremost heavy metal groups.<sup id="_ref-0" class="reference">[1]</sup> More recent exposure has included providing wrestler Triple H's entrance music, and performing live at WrestleMania events; and in 2004, contributing the song, "You Better Swim", to the soundtrack of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. In 2005 the band received their first Grammy. While Motörhead are typically classified as heavy metal, speed metal or thrash metal (and often regarded as a foundational influence on the latter two styles);<sup id="_ref-1" class="reference">[2]</sup> Lemmy dislikes such labels, preferring to describe the band's music simply as "rock and roll".<sup id="_ref-CRR_0" class="reference">[3]</sup> Motörhead's approach has remained the same over the band's career, preferring to play what they enjoy and do best, their like for the early rock and roll is reflected in some of their occasional cover songs. Motörhead's lyrics typically cover such topics as war, good versus evil, abuse of power, promiscuous sex, substance abuse, and "life on the road".

1. Fuck Mötorhead and other shitty metal acts.
(Not that all metal isn't shitty, it's just that MH falls into "crapcore" as far as I'm concerned). EDIT: Changed my mind. |

Never really liked them. Lemmy is madly overrated, and let's be honest here... Ace of Spades is the only MH song anyone gives a rats ass about... and once the first minute has passed they lose interest quickly. |

Which sounds exactly like every song they ever did other than Spades.
Except, of course, it's actually popular. |

Every album they release is pretty much identical to the other but when you're as good as they are live it doesn't matter

What, does getting pissed and forgetting how to play your own songs count as quality in the UK or something? |
