Motorhead "Ace Of Spades"



On this day (November 8, 1980), Motorhead released their monumental fourth studio album entitled "Ace Of Spades."  While often considered as the band's best album, it is also seen as one of the most influential hard rock/heavy metal albums.  It is also said to be the most influential album that helped spawn the 1980's thrash metal movement.  The album was also listed in the book called "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die."  The album also peaked at No. 4 on the U.K. album charts and was certified Gold by March of 1981.  My favorite songs from this album are the title track, "Love Me Like A Reptile," and "The Hammer."  I unfortunately do not own this album, but will definitely pick it up at some point in the future.  Do you own this album? Were you able to buy it when it was released?  What are your favorite songs from the album? Did you like/dislike it?
