Melvins appreciation thread
 

They're awesome. My favs:

1. Electroretard
2. Stag
3. Stoner Witch
4. Houdini
5. Singles 1-12

I really like A senile Animal.
Houdini is great as well of course.

most of the ones you list are OK but do not RULE
they are mostly straight metal ca ca

the best melvins are

OZMA



GLUEY PORCH TREATMENTS



KING BUZZO



BULLHEAD

Gluey Porch Treatments was the first one I got back in Middle School. I used to think I was cool for having it at the time.
On a side note, it's weird thinking about when I started buying cds. I was my sisters age, Nine. It's strange because I see her as still being really young.

Bullhead is the best Melvins album.

Um, #1 I put ELECTRORETARD which is so far removed from "straight metal"...

just teasin man. col' chills.

I love the early melvins so much though..........

sorry to interrupt your party, but I fucking can't stand Melvins.

Well, it was one dark rainy november evening ...

... I just fucking can't stand them :D

I love the melvins quite a bit.. but still associate them with a ruined end to my summer so.. yeah : (

They're great, one of the most consistently awesome bands ever. Even their super experimental noisey albums are interesting, if not good. But they can still rock after all this time.

My amount of respect for them far outweighs my liking of their music. I think Gluey Porch Treatmeants, Lysol, and Bullhead are all very good. I just find the rest of their stuff either rehashed, average, or just flat-out boring.

It's hard to choose a favorite. OZMA/GLUEY PORCH is the classic of course. I dunno, I usually reach for Bullhead.

Dale Crover is the best drummer in rock hands down. Buzz is some kind of inhuman archetype that defies any sort of natural explanation. I can't express how weird it feels that my friend and former karaoke host is now their bassist...

for thier more straight ahead rock stuff, definitley bullhead. for the experimental wierder stuff, definitley prick. i like all thier amrep stuff actually.

honky is killer too, and fuck, so was houdini. the fucking band is amazing at thier most commerical and thier most wierdo, such a good band.

I really liked the live Houdini album, in some ways more than the studio.

Wow. I'da put SENILE somewhere in the middle. I have Almost all of them.
