Motörhead put out "Just Cos You Got the Power" in 1987 with a two-guitar front line, Phil Campbell and Würzel, while Lemmy Kilmister barks the lead vocal over his own bass and Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor pounds the kit. Nobody from outside got a hand in the writing: all four members share the credit.

They produced it themselves, too, with Guy Bidmead as the one outside name at the controls, which suits a band that always sounded best with the throttle wide open and nobody fussing over the mix.
