All bands start somewhere, and Motörhead started off their career with their self titled debut album, which is probably the most rough sounding album the band ever released.

The first Motorhead record plays like a band writing a setlist for their first show. A few originals, some covers, and a few songs by member's previous bands. That said, all the pieces that made them killer are already in place and there's no real reason to skip over this.
