I suggest you "Motörizer", it's my favorite MH album. Inferno and the Wörld is yours are also good choices. You should have Ace of Spades, it's a masterpiece.

I'd say Overkill.
But, as your signature looks like spam, you might find yourself enjoying more the sounds of Ne-Yo or Justin Timberlake.

I'd go with the live 'No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith', (the first MH album i ever owned). It captures a young Motorhead at their most ferocious, with a setlist taken from the first 4 albums.

Of the studio albums, i'd say 'Overkill' or 'Another Perfect Day', probably my favorites from the early years.

Despite 'Ace of Spades' arguably suffering from over exposure over the years, it's still a damn good album and a must for any Motorhead collection.

Over the past few months, I've bought 9 albums and loved every one of them. Ace of Spades, Iron Fist, 1916, March or Die, Bastards, Sacrifice, We Are Motörhead, Motörizer, and The World is Yours.

Offhand, I think Bastards and We Are Motörhead are my favorites, but you can't go wrong.

Although the first Motorhead album I bought was Ace Of Spades here in Canada because the previous albums didn't have a North American release yet, I would probably recommend 'No Sleep till Hammersmith' as it's something like a perfect album.

After the Ace of Spades album came out officially here, some of the cooler record stores brought import versions of Bomber and Overkill (I don't recall seeing the self-titled album or On Parole in stores until a year or two later). At the time I was a student with very little money so I had to pick from Overkill and Bomber. I really couldn't decide which one to get as the live album hadn't come out yet and I didn't know any of the songs. I ended up with Bomber which was mis-priced and was 50 or 75 cents cheaper than the others.

...and second Motörhead, you have to live all the decades, can´t pick something from the middle. Motörhead is like a book, you can´t start it from middle!
