What are your 5 favourite Motorhead songs?

It's hard to pick 5 only but let me try:
On Parole
Snakebite Love
Going To Brazil
We Are Motorhead
Be My Baby

At this moment, I would say:
Iron Horse
The Chase...
We Are Motorhead
Life's A Bitch
Orgasmatron

it depends on the mood im in but ....damage case, motorhead, liar, stay clean, thousand names of god ....at the moment but could change tomorrow ...but damage case always number 1 for me

Heart of Stone / leaving here / nothing up my sleeve / brotherhood of man / one more fucking time
At the moment that's me top 5

At the moment?
Overkill
Too Late, Too Late,
One to Sing the Blues
I Know How To Die
I Got Mine

Damage Case
Overkill
In The Name Of Tragedy
Life's A Bitch
Burner

Motorhead,Overkill,Year of the wolf,Be my baby,Killers

Motorhead,Brotherhood of man,One night stand,Be my baby,Liar

Is this live or studio? Cause Bomber is pretty damn good on the album, but live it's like nothing else.

Absolutely right! I don't know why but I always loved how Lemmy pronounce Bomber! in ELTEE album.

No Class,
War For War,
Shine,
Dancing On Your Grave,
Steal Your Face,

I'm also thinking Over your Shoulder and Out to Lunch

Dancig On your Grave is quite probably my all time favourite by the band. Steal Your Face, another classic that seemed to get a bit overshadowed at the time, and subsequently down the years, by Killed By Death. Love that intro leading into that ominous riff. Shine as well is just superb, in fact what wasn't when Robbo was on 6 string duty?

Yeah I'd still prefer to have Steal Your Face than Killed By Death in the current setlist.

The intro to Steal Your Face is great, it was my ringtone for years

at the moment:

killers
stone dead forever
heroes
when the eagle screams
bomber

not necessarily in this order

Lawrence I think I would Keep Killed by Death and drop Metropolis. I love KBD
the intro is something else from the moshpit.

atm

1.overkill
2.brotherhood of man
3.love for sale
4.in the name of tragedy
5.lost in the ozone

tomorrow who knows !!!

Yeah Ian good input, Killed By Death is still good and a lot better than metropolis, and please no Capricorn. Lets see what november brings to us..

God was never on your side, cooked mile, I ain't no nice guy, March or die, 1916, from 1-5

I forgot "Shine" on my top 5,so I having 6 LOL

Out of the sun
Shake the world
God was never on your side
Walk a Crooked Mile
Built for Speed

today its:

Killers
one night stand
simleing like a killer
love for sale
Snaggletooth

Got to disagree there fellas I just love Metropolis, live its played faster and you can still enjoy it in the pit. Hell Raiser nice to see you got Heroes in your top 5 one of my favourites at the moment as well.

Overkill
Bomber
The Hammer
Burner
Rock Out

...... and about 200 more songs. Hard to choose

My favorites change every week but right now I've been listening mostly to:

1. Locomotive
2. I Ain't No Nice Guy
3. One Short Life
4. Keys To The Kingdom
5. Killed By Death

Yep, mine changes too but right now it has to be...The Hammer (Live from NSTH), Limb From Limb (Live BBC Sessions), Kingdom Of The Worm from Kiss Of Death, Dog-Face Boy - Fan Video on You Tube!(Go on, take a look!) In the Name Of Tragedy (Snake Bite Love) - Lem's live advice when introducing ...Tragedy is great - 'If you dance to this, you'll fuck yourself up!' He was right.

Right now I am really liking Capricorn from ELTEE.

I'll have a stab at this...........

1/ Bomber
2/ Outlaw
3/ No class
4/ Dancing on your grave
5/ 1916

On your feet or on your knees
Shine
Brotherhood of man
Sucker
Bomber

Thats right now it will probably change in a day or so

This is hard. In no particular order:

The Hammer
In The Name Of Tragedy
God Was Never On Your Side
Dancing on Your Grave
Damage Case

Iron Fist
We are Motörhead
Be My Baby
One Night Stand
I Got Mine

stoned dead forever
keep us on the road
deaf forever
ace of spades
overkill
iron horse
brotherhood of man
i don't believe a word
capricorn
ridin' with the driver
orgasmatron
sacrifice
rock out
the thousand names of god
iron fist
outlaw
bomber
no voices in the sky
love me forever
kingdom of the worm
metropolis
shake the world


...cant stop...it's any 5 of these, in any order

That's a funny looking 5!

Cool. I'd like to add Stay Clean.

tough call, I'd have to say the last 5 I'd heard. Or the next 5 I'll hear.... I couldn"t name 5 without naming 35...

Overkill, Orgamastron, Stay Clean, I'll Be Your Sister.

On Parole, Stay Clean, Orgamastron, Overkill, I'll Be Your Sister.

Agreed! I don't think I could stop at 35 either, probably much higher.

Going Down, I'm so bad baby I don't care, 1916, Born to Raise Hell & I ain't no nice guy.

Today:

One to sing the blues
Devils
One more fucking time
Boogeyman
Iron fist

Boogeyman is a fantastic song, one of my favourites.

Definitely! Some really nice typical Wurzel stuff, he composed wonderful MH Songs. Can't understand, why the Wurzel era mostly is called the weakest. Ok, 'Rock'n'Roll' isn't my favorit MH Album, but for example '1916' and 'Bastards' (especially that one) are full of very beautiful, harmoniously and varied songs.

1916 and Bastards are 2 of the bands greatest albums for me. Overall though the Wurzel era was a mixed bag, with the highs of those two, along with Orgasmatron and the superb four-some from No remorse, but also including the somewhat dissapointing Rock n Roll and the downright poor March or Die.

I think Rock n roll is a good album-there's some great songs on there-rock n roll,traitor,stone deaf in the usa,boogeyman to think of a few.Yeah good album for me.
March or die is one of the weaker ones but still has some great songs-stand,you better run,bad religion and cat scratch fever.

Rock'n'Roll for me is truly one of the best Motorhead songs that symbolizes why the group was formed, why it stood out above the others and why is it still on top ... Not Heavy Metal but the hardest possible Rock'n'Roll ...

i love the rock n roll album ....great memories ...great tour ...great songs .....i was still in my teens then as well !!!!

Good post. I appreciate it! Thanks for guiding.

Rock n Roll does have some very good songs on, like the title track and Boogeyman, but overall it's a dissapointment for me. I had very high hopes after No Remorse gave us a glimpse of how good the new 4 piece was going to be. Then along came Orgasmatron and all my hopes were realised. After this Rock n Roll just felt like a step backwards to me. Definitely not the bands worst effort (that would come soon enough though), but albums like 1916, Orgasmatron, Bastards and Sacrifice (drummer aside all from the same era) really leave it in the shade. If they'd made Just Cause You Got The Power an album track, or Cradle to the Grave for that Matter, it would have definitely helped

As for March or Die. the only Motorhead album I actually struggle to listen to. Some average stuff, that maybe sounds better than it is as it's sat next to some pretty poor efforts by the band. And Cat Scratch Fever, probably in my top 5 most disliked cover versions ever. Megadeth's Anarchy in the UK is no. 1 if you were wondering.

black heart, dogs and traitor are so much underrated songs.

My Top 5 At The Moment! I hope to hear these songs live on March 3rd!

Damage Case
Love Me Forever
Ace of Spades
We Are Motorhead
In The Name of Tragedy

good choice apart from ace of spades !!!!!!!!!!!!

The Hammer
Bomber
Jailbait
Killed By Death
Get Back In Line

This band is too good to choose only 5 songs.if it was favorite 50 Motorhead song then maybe we could talk

I wish a repackaged March or Die CD would be released that included a live disc from the '92 tour.
I heard them do Hellraiser live on the Tonight show and god damn does it sound bad ass live!
Anyhow my top 5...
Don't Need Religion
Bite the Bullet(Wish it was longer)
Rock It-Great driving song
Down the Line-Mean, bad assed riff!
Bomber-Was EXCELLENT on the Gigantour!

There's not much stuff recorded from the 1992 tour. There's a bootleg that has decent quality called Better wear armör from Stadthalle, Offenbach, Germany and some tracks from Roskilde, Denmark (Radio broadcast), check them out.
And you don't have to worry about a repacking of March ör die, it's 2012, there will be one this year too I'm sure, Sony has made one each year for the last three centuries, none of them has brought us any new stuff though...

UUf its difficult to choose only five but let me think....

1.Over The Top
2.Snaggletooth
3.No Class
4.Bomber
5.Love For Sale

Maybe the top 5 album would easier to find. But let's try

1 Rock'N'Roll music
2 Bye bye Bitch Bye bye
3 Buried Alive
4 Rock'N'Roll
5 The Thousand Names Of God

I willingly "forgotten" the old songs, I think MH has now reached to the top.

These days (and I have not updated this in over a year...)

I'm The Man
Time Is Right
