Kind of pointless since there's at least a few people who've heard all of it, but what Melvins albums/7-inches/releases have you yet to hear?
For me....
Ozma
26 Songs
The Bootlicker
The Crybaby
Pigs Of The Roman Empire
Melvins vs. Minneapolis
Both the Jelvins albums
Singles 1-12
hell, just about ALL their rare singles really!
You ought to get busy listening to some of those
instead of posting threads. The Bootlicker especially.

Pigs Of The Roman Empire is essential, essential listening material alright! :P

P.O.T.R.E. is one of the best, It's on heavy rotation at my place,but you really should get Ozma asap.
POTRE is classic! Get it ASAP! Then Ozma and the Jello Biafra albums if you like Jello Biafra....and The Bootlicker...and The Crybaby...and all of it....
But to answer your question there are really only a few Melvins singles I haven't heard and I can't think of them off the top of my head. I know one time Mark Prindle mentioned to me that he needed their "Spit It Out" single but actually it's not even the Melvins. I'd still like to hear it though. I do wonder where I could get it... 8-[
Not heard:
HAT singles (ironic since that's my favorite album)
Alive At The Fucker Club
Singles 1-12
Prick
The End (Glen's hoarding them all so I can't get my hands on one)
Pick Your Battles
Rare singles
That's all I'm aware of.
Man off that first list you've got to get Ozma, then POTRE, then Bootlicker. Then the rest when they come your way.
Singles 1-12 has about 80% crap, but the five or so songs in there are amazing. Leeech is the best reordered live song by the band I think. Not to mention Specimen which sounds like nothing ever before.
26 songs is a must as well...
get cracking man! you'll be glad you did. really, really, really glad.
only things i haven't heard are the Jelvins releases...kind of weirds me out.
I would love to hear Melvins version of Sweet Young Thing Ain't Sweet No More. That's the song that got me into Mudhoney. Does Buzz play with a slide?
There's a video on Youtube with Adam Jones using a slide on Ballad of Dwight Fry, I was thinking how much it improved that song. Melvins with a slide would be a nice touch.
But I'd like to see Piano's again in Melvins albums. Yes Pianos...look back at the Atlantic Trilogy and even Honky and tell me the piano does not improve those songs!

Specimen is really good. I don't know why it wasn't included on an album.

in my opinion 0%.why Adam Jones decided to play a slide guitar on a great song where the slide guitar usually doesn't exist? :?

PRIG!!
I think I've heard most everything.
I might not have delved into Honky as much as I could.
I love their one-offs and weird shit.
I haven't listened to:
Honky :(
Singles 1-12 :(
the solo albums (King Buzzo, Dale Crover, Joe Preston)
The Crybaby
Mangled Demos From 1983
Millennium Monsterwork 2000 (The Fant

The only shows I've missed in 17 years were around 01-02. It was a bad time in my personal life. I'm making up for it now.
I have about 15 of their records, but not the more recent stuff. I have yet to hear Senile Animal, Hostile Ambient Takeover and the new one. Which one's best of the three? Some of my faves are Bullhead, 10 Songs, Eggnog, Stag, Stoner Witch and the solo albums. And of course Ozma/GPT. Didn't at all care for Lysol or much of Honky.

Honestly that's a tough call because those 3 albums are among my favorite Melvins albums but I'd say:
1. Hostile Ambient Takeover
2. Nude With Boots
3. A Senile Animal
Also, give Lysol another chance. Try skipping to the 10min mark if you have to.
Never heard:
Alive at the Fucker Club (well, I've heard snippets, and it sounds horrible)
26 Songs
Joe Preston
lots of the singles
many of the other live releases (not really that into live recordings, unless they are somehow stellar)
I just recently listened to the Dale Crover EP for the first time a couple days ago. I haven't heard a lot of the rare 7 inches and singles, and that's about it.

I mean, if an album is out of print, I see no worries in downloading that janks.

By the way, I still say you Jello haters are missing out. I think this song could have been on HAT if Buzz was singing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imxFcg7xd7o I love the voice effects at the end.
I think that was originally written for the Mike & the Melvins thing which never materialised.
But yeah, if you stick that and Plesmoragraph on Sieg Howdy!, you make NBWYCS pretty unecessary. Sieg Howdy is really good.

I've downloaded stuff I don't own. I am trying to buy them though, Honky, electroretard, Lysol, Prick, etc... Why are they all out of print : (
Is eggnog out of print? I think I have read that it is, but I found it at a local store, that I went to to pick up a senile animal about half a year ago.

Eggnog and Lysol are still in print but Lysol is now just self titled.
i wish i could go into a coma just so i could have a fresh virgin listen to all of their releases
