Motörhead

Motörhead was the definitive speed metal band. They received a Grammy. They had two hit albums in the United States, but not until their final years. Otherwise they were phenomenal worldwide. They have been considered for the Hall of Fame but not chosen. The Koopaling Lemmy from the Mario universe was inspired by the late member Lemmy Kilmister. Their name uses a "heavy metal umlaut", designed to make themselves look Nordic when in fact they are British.
