- "Killed by Death" No Remorse, 1984. Buried on a quasi-compilation album, not from the classic lineup, originating from a bit of a lost year in Motörhead history… "Killed by Death" was born to lose, but it lives to win.
- "Orgasmatron" Orgasmatron. The final song on a well-regarded mid-period album, "Orgasmatron" was beloved from the start and now sits proudly as the band's "Stairway to Heaven."
- "Ace of Spades" Ace of Spades. "You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools/But that's the way I like it baby/I don't wanna live forever." With lines like that, it's easy to under-stand why many people consider "Ace of Spades" to be the definitive Motörhead anthem.
- "(We Are) The Road Crew" Ace of Spades. Many Motörhead songs are frantic, but this is the most anxious of them all. Lemmy captures the job stress of the crew perfectly as he pays thoughtful and knowing tribute to those who keep the show on the road despite bad food, little sleep and having to get the singer out of the downtown strip club and over to the venue.
- ‘Ace of Spades’ From: ‘Ace of Spades’ (1980) In "Ace of Spades," heavy rock has its ultimate expression of sheer decapitating efficiency. To put it another way, if Slayer’s Reign in Blood remains the benchmark for heavy-metal intensity delivered in less than half an hour, then "Ace of Spades" provides the individual-song equivalent.
- ‘Overkill’ Speed metal begins right here, in the brain-bullying tattoo of "Philthy Animal" Taylor’s double-kick drums, in the open-throttle thrust of Lemmy’s Rickenbacker bass and in "Fast" Eddie’s strangled Strat.
- ‘Killed by Death’ From: ‘No Remorse’ (1984) By the mid-'80, the build-them-just-to-break-them British press had pretty much written off the band. Then came "Killed by Death," which put everyone in their place.
- ‘Orgasmatron’ The ultimate expression of Lemmy’s twisted literary genius, and probably Motorhead’s most “metallic” song, "Orgasmatron" transforms a hilarious sexual aid used in Woody Allen’s futuristic comedy Sleeper into a merciless indictment of religion’s tyrannical crimes against mankind.
