Motörhead's "Overkill" album isn't metal

After revisiting "Overkill" this week, I've come to the conclusion that any suggestions that the early Motörhead records were metal releases are clearly misguided. The only thing metal about the entire record is the double-kick work in the opening title track. Outside of that we have a raw & dirty hard rock record that should really be sitting under Non-Metal. Please vote YES to facilitate that change.

Listening to this again for the purpose of this hall. Some of these tracks have some major metal energy, pre-NWOBHM technique aside, and it completely appeals to my metal side. Considering how many different types of metal we get, I feel that it would be unfair to call this just "hard rock." Apologies, but I'll be voting no for this one.
