Members HP Hovercraft Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 My knowledge of The Melvins spans just two short years. It begins at Houdini and ends at Stoner Witch. I'm kind of re-discovering them, having not listened to either of those much since they were released almost 20 years ago (I know, I know ). What other records should I listen to? They have a ton.

Members iamthearm Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 (A) senile animal is probably my favorite album besides houdini. Nude With Boots is pretty solid too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members awdwon Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 Ozma, Hostile Ambient Takeover, Stag, Crybaby. However, Houdini and Stoner Witch are two of my favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members starmansam Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 you definitely have some good ones so far, but:stag, senile animal, nude with boots, the bulls and the bees (it is a free record), I dig mangled demos, but 26 songs will get you into that territory nicely, lysol is great, and bullhead is sublime. I guess I'll narrow that down to 3 different-y ones:Bullheadsenile animal26 songs that takes care of some pretty different eras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HP Hovercraft Posted July 21, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 Thanks for the answers, guys! Keep 'em coming. FWIW, I've since determined that Houdini is one of the best albums of all time. Thankfully, they have a lot of records on Spotify. I think I'll start with Senile Animal. you definitely have some good ones so far, but: stag, senile animal, nude with boots, the bulls and the bees (it is a free record), I dig mangled demos, but 26 songs will get you into that territory nicely, lysol is great, and bullhead is sublime. I guess I'll narrow that down to 3 different-y ones: Bullhead senile animal 26 songs that takes care of some pretty different eras. A man I can trust!

Members WeStartToDrift Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 The Jared warren albums have been pretty great, a bride screamed murder being my favorite from that period. Bullhead is my favorite Melvins album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members T ned Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 All of the mentioned are good. Maybe stay away from Colossus of Destiny, or Prick. Not for beginners. T he collaborations with Jello are too often overlooked, and Pigs of the Roman Empire (with Lustmord) has some rewarding moments if you're patient. And if you could take the best songs off of Senile Animal, Nude With Boots and The Bride Screamed Murder and put them on one album, it would be a stone classic.

Members kingnimrod Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 And if you are into brain scattering noise, Chicken Switch. Lysol is probably my favorite. Honky is amazing. Melvins have never done anything wrong in my book. Greatest band in the world. That they have continually evolved and still do great things is to be lauded.

Members papercutnoise Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 Definitely check out Bullhead, Eggnog EP, Lysol, and A Senile Animal. Huge Melvins fan and I think they're my 4 favourites! Edit: honourable mention for Hostile Ambient Takeover too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
