The discography of Motörhead, an English rock band, consists of 22 studio albums, nine live albums, thirteen compilation albums, four extended plays (EPs), 29 singles, ten video albums and 34 music videos. Motörhead were originally formed in 1975 in London by bassist and vocalist Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister, after his departure from Hawkwind, who drafted in guitarist Larry Wallis and drummer Lucas Fox (who was quickly replaced by Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor) to complete the band's initial lineup. The trio recorded their debut album for release on United Artists, although it was not released until 1979 as On Parole.[1] After "Fast" Eddie Clarke replaced Wallis, the band's first released album was the self-titled Motörhead, which was issued by Chiswick Records in 1977 and reached number 43 on the UK Albums Chart.[1][2]
In 1978, Motörhead signed with Bronze Records; their first releases on the label were Overkill and Bomber, both in 1979.[1] The albums reached 24 and 12 respectively in the UK, and both spawned UK top 40 singles in "Overkill" and "Bomber".[2] Motörhead improved further on their chart success with their next two studio albums, Ace of Spades and Iron Fist, which reached 4 and 6 respectively on the UK Albums Chart.[2] In 1981 the group also achieved their first UK number one with their first live album, No Sleep 'til Hammersmith, which was supported by the release of a live recording of "Motörhead" which reached number six in the UK.[2] The band also collaborated with Girlschool (as Headgirl) on the EP St. Valentine's Day Massacre, which reached number 5 in the UK.[2] Clarke left the band in 1982.[1]
Clarke was replaced by former Thin Lizzy guitarist Brian Robertson, who performed on the top-20 album Another Perfect Day.[1] In 1984 Robertson was replaced by Phil Campbell and Michael "Würzel" Burston, while Taylor also left to be replaced by Pete Gill.[1] The new four-piece released Orgasmatron in 1986, which reached number 21 in the UK,[2] before Taylor returned to the band.[1] Rock 'n' Roll (1987) and 1916 (1991) reached the UK top 40,[2] before Taylor left again during the recording of March ör Die (1992); Mikkey Dee was brought in as his replacement.[1] The band's next three albums – Bastards, Sacrifice (the last with Würzel) and Overnight Sensation – failed to chart in the UK, with the group returning with Snake Bite Love in 1998 which reached number 171.[2] Later releases improved in chart success, with the band's final album Bad Magic reaching number ten on the UK Albums Chart.[2]
