Motörhead, Reverend Horton Heat, and Throwrag at First Avenue
Most 63-year-olds settle for counting the days until they can trade in their years of hard work for a gold watch and a quiet place to while away their autumn years; not Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister, who shows no signs of slowing down, nor any intention to start doing so. While some critics point out that that the heavy-metal band essentially carved out its own niche in the '70s and has done little else to revolutionize or energize the genre since, it's hard to argue with 1980's Ace Of Spades or its title track. It's a staple in every self-respecting metalhead's collection, one perfectly suited for midnight drives and anything else that demands you feel like a badass.
