I'm in the same boat with Metalguy, I don't own any Yes albums, just a few tracks here and there, good band though, always liked what I heard from them.

Hmmmmm, tough one!!!!

1. Close To The Edge
2. Fragile

I had to leave out both live albums and a couple of other albums(The Yes Album and Drama).

MOTORHEAD!

1. Another Perfect Day
2. Overkill
3. No Sleep Till Hammersmith
4. Orgasmatron
5. Sacrifice

Motorhead

1-Another Perfect Day
2-No Sleep til Hammersmith
3-Bomber
4-Overkill
5-Ace of Spades

Motorhead

1. Overkill
2. No Sleep Til Hammersmith
3. Bomber
4. Ace Of Spades
5. Iron Fist

Hmm, another tough one! That's the era of the band I really grew up with and still like the most though, Another Perfect Day, Rock N Roll, and Orgasmatron get a nod though. Also, when it comes to Motorhead, I give The Golden Years EP a big nod, that was the first release I had from them.

EDITED

Live Albums are encouraged on this list, some bands best albums ARE their live dates.

MOTORHEAD

1. Rock N Roll (Greg's got my back on this one)
2. Bomber
3. The Birthday Party
4. Overkill
5. Orgasmatron

Rock N Roll has grown on me over the years...especially with "Just Cause You Got The Power" and "Cradle To The Grave" added to it.

although the studio version of "Power" pales by comparison to the monster reading on "No Sleep At All".

No Sleep At All is a great live album. It just sounds like it's being played through a transistor radio.

Definately, I love Rock N Roll. The version with the bonus tracks is definately the best though!

I don't recall it sounding that bad, though it's been a long time since I heard it.

Motorhead

1. Inferno
2. 1916
3. Hammered
4. Bastards
5. Sacrifice/Overnight Sensation (tied)

This list was very hard for me, I had to change them a few times, and think about it and make more changes.

1. We Are Motorhead
2. Sacrifice
3. Kiss Of Death
4. Orgasmatron
5. Bomber

Motorhead...
1. No Remorse
2. 1916
3. Ace of Spades
4. We Are Motorhead
5. Overkill
Yea, No Remorse is a comp, but it was also my introduction to the band in highschool. Played the hell out of that tape till I left it in my buddies car on the dashboard and the sun warped it.

No Remorse counts, it has new material on it.

Not that anyone really cares, but I didn't get the full Motorhead albums til I was out of high school, my first exposure actually came out of a round of singles and EP's I got out of a local thrift shop. All bronze releases, and despite liking all era's of Motorhead, this is still my favorite.

Louie, Louie/Tear Ya Down
Overkill/ Too Late, Too Late
No Class/Like A Nightmare
Bomber/Over The Top
The Golden Years EP
Ace Of Spades/Dirty Love
Motorhead (Live)/Over The Top (Live)
St. Valentines Day Massacre EP
Iron Fist/Remember Me, I'm Gone
I Got Mine/ Turn You 'Round Again


Maybe not the most definitive way to get into Motorhead, but it made a pretty badass cassette comp.

Yeah, those are great singles.

I got into Motorhead in a roundabout way as well. I bought Another Perfect Day as a blind purchase (because the cover is epic) and was a little "too much" for me at age 13...but I kept the album and would revisit occasionally, finding more stuff I liked with each listen.

Then my best friend bought No Remorse (leather cover LP set) and we jammed it over a weekend and I fell in love with it. I later bought a copy from another friend that just "didn't get it".

I bought Orgasmatron when it came out and then started collecting the earlier albums when CDs were released.

Motorhead:

1. No Remorse
2. Live And Raw
3.
4.
5.


My introduction to them was the Live And Heavy(V/A comp where not all the songs are live) compilation LP which has White Line Fever on it(which is one of the actual live tracks). I then bought the No Remorse comp on cassette(no White Line... WTF!!!!) and finally Live and Raw(one of it's many names) just recently(it has THAT version of White Line on it).


I gave the tape to my younger kid who now likes Motorhead and whenever I use the minivan(it only has a tape deck) I'll toss that in there.

I'd say that live version of White Line Fever is my favorite Motorhead song!
