You don't really expect anyone to believe that Motorhead is better than Einsturzende Neubauten, do you? What has Motorhead ever done that's worthwhile? (Besides giving their fans permanent hearing damage...) Lemmy should have had better sense than to get kicked out of Hawkwind, a group that does know how to make good music. Einsturzende Neubauten is very good! They may not do much with melody and harmony, but they do know how to get some pretty intense and complex rhythms going. And they sure do understand Angst.
