AMG Review of Very Best of Motorhead

Eduardo Rivadavia
All Music Guide

It's doubtful any 14-song Motörhead collection will ever be worthy of as definitive a title as this particular set, but it's also quite difficult to find fault with any of these selections. Some may justifiably argue that less-than-ubiquitous choices such as "Dead Men Tell No Tales," "Over the Top," or "Damage Case," shoulda/coulda been supplanted by sadly absent latter-day nuggets like "Dancing on Your Grave," "I'm So Bad (Baby I Don't Care)," and especially "Orgasmatron," but then again, maybe not. In other words, this excellent "best of" truly borders on perfection in a way not seen since the arguably still peerless No Remorse.
