Whilst these subjects are always a question of personal taste, I find myself in TOTAL agreement with MHB2320.
1916 and March or Die are terrible, and I cannot listen to them.
However, 'One More Fucking Time' is one of my very favourite Motorhead tracks..... it sums up a lot of things in my life, perfectly!
I have to say though, the most terrible Motorhead track ever laid down is on the AfterShock album, its that terrible AC/DC type abomination titled.''Keep Your Powder Dry''
Now, I will go on to say that I Love (almost) EVERY other Motorhead song ever written.
Strangely enough, Lemmy thinks 'Talking Head'' is a terrible song with terrible lyrics, he has said so in his Biography. But I think it is a fantastic, classic Motorhead track! Funny old world innit?

Sacrifice/Assassin/Kingdom of the Worm. Pretty much the same song each time, musically. Never got why Sacrifice became such a classic.
War for War and Order/Fade to Black from Sacrifice are pretty poor.
God Save the Queen. Fucking pointless. See Me Burning. Uninspired riffing and shit lyrics.
Serial Killer is an appalling waste of album space and follows another shitty song in Red Raw. Play fast and sing about blood and guts. Phoning it in.
Fight. A blight on an otherwise near perfect album.
Trigger, Sword of Glory, Going Down. Some serious crimes against lyrics and melody here. Going Down has to be the worst and most cliched Motorhead song yet.
Heroes, One Short Life, Time is Right, Buried Alive. Four absolutely dull filler tracks that I will be happy to never hear again.
I Know What You Need. Waiting for the Snake. Filler.
As for the ballads that many of you dislike. Always a highlight of the albums for me. Dust and Glass is Lemmy's best ever vocal for me.

The Sacrifice thing: I love Sacrifice, but can't listen to Sacrifice-like stuff like Kingdom of the Worm etc. Which is interesting, I reckon. I think that's because Sacrifice has a very distinctive, well-defined melody in addition to sounding like a tank falling down the stairs (which I say in the best possible way).

I listened to the debut album today. White Line Fever is utter mediocrity.

White Line Fever, although a bit amateurish sounding all these years later, is still a good song for me... maybe for the rough, nostalgic value only? Keep us on the Road is a song I have always loved, used to play in our (short lived) tribute band, and I wish they would have played Live for the next 37 years! Have to agree about Kingdom of the Worm though, its a filler, and its crap. When you say pointless though, (referring to God Save the Queen), the most pointless ever Motorhead song was the 'Cat Scratch Fever' cover on 'March', I can't listen to it.

Can I say most of the March or Die album as an easy answer?

I keep trying Mark. Maybe one of these listens and something will click Each to their own.Dont you like the songs I mentioned ? The 2 albums I listen to the least are We are Motorhead and snakebite love, while others really rate them. But its good to see what others like/or don't like as much though. Theres a few songs been mentioned that people dislike and yet I love them.Thats just how it is Keep trying though-one day mate,one day

We Are Motorhead is okay, but definitely lower end of the scale for me, Snakebite Love is down there too to be fair. For me though my bottom 3 are Rock n Roll, Hammered then most definitely March or Die. That said I can listen to any of the above albums quite happily. I love AC/Dc too but cant even begin to listen to some of their worst efforts, Maiden are my other love musically but the Blaze stuff and Fear of the Dark takes a real effort for me to try and listen.

Ahem......... I love Rock n Roll too, almost the entire album. But Snakebite Love is a struggle for me to love.

I like rock n Roll. I too tried Fear of the Dark in the car the other day and it was tough going, be quick or be dead is particularly shite
