I've had pretty much all of Motörhead's catalog for years.
While I like it a lot, I never seemed to actually sit down and listen to it.
With Lemmy's death, I fired up iTunes and I've been binge listening.
Some songs seem derivative until you check the dates the albums come out and you realize that they were actually pioneering.
Their influence was widespread and deeply felt.
Yet, many people who love musicians heavily influenced by Motörhead have never heard of them.
Isn't that odd?
