Gluey Porch
Hat
Bullhead
Eggnog
Maggot

Houdini Live
My top 5 for now:
Gluey Porch Treatments
Lysol

If they ever put out a Ozma live record it would make this much easier.
STAG
OZMA
The Maggot
HAT
Bullhead
Tie-Honky/Houdini
Can't decide. Which Melvins are we talking about?
Heavy? Quite? Noisy?
Too many choices!

No offense, but how could the Smash the State ep be in your top list? That ep was a joke. The sound quality was terrible and it only had a few good moments (like the Real F'n Nasty song).

Hey Leroy, no offence but are you deaf sister?? That ep kicks so much ass ... a few good moments ... ??? ... yeah, like all of them ... Real Fuckin' Nasty is the weakest song on there man! Hmmm? Who told ya it was a joke? Buzz? Dale? Haze? Funny whenever someone doesn't like something in the Melvins catalouge it must be a "Joke" ... yeah, thats pretty funny ...
I voted with the majority. So I must be correct.
Lysol takes the lead, with HAT close on its heals. That's about right I'd say. I voted for HAT, but Lysol is truly epic and classic.
i just have always felt stonerwitch takes the cake. for me its like their "dark side of the moon" just perfect. mainly cuz at the stake is so epic. but im def. not saying houdini, lysol, or hat are any worse. i just have always love stonerwitch
I gotta go on what I've listened to the most I guess and that would be.....
(drum roll)

The Maggot
It would be impossible for me to choose just one favorite Melvins album. But I guess my top 10 would be:
Bullhead
Stoner Witch
Honky
Houdini/Stag
Lysol
Ozma
GPT
HAT
Eggnog
I'm still not sure whether to add EPs, but what the heck...6 songs is there and I think that it was an EP, so I'll probably add a couple of others...
Stag
HAT
The original 10 songs. I love the raw sound of this.
Egg
Lysol
Stoner
Pigs
These are records I would suggest to new listeners to start with.....plus the mixes on all of these are very strong.

Buzz has jokingly mentioned that his hardcore punk band name would be "Smash the State" but I'm not under the impression that the EP is a joke. Either way I like it quite a bit, just like CoD.
I really can't pick one so I'm not voting. I've probably listened to A Senile Animal or Nude with Boots the most so I might pick one of those if I had too. The Maggot, Stag, HAT, and Lysol are all very close behind. So I've narrowed it down to 6 albums.....this is why The Melvins rule.
the smash the state EP kicks ass, i LOVE haze's nasty tone, i like to think it brings out the best in buzz and dale. pigskin is another favorite here.
Bullhead is their finest album. Lysol is so over rated.
Worst post I've ever seen in my 12 odd years of surfing the internet.

Ban after first post.
It would be a lot better if the tracks were seperated so I could skip through "Hung Bunny" and "Roman Bird Dog"...they are not bad songs, but I don't want to have to listen to them every single time I pop the cd in.

i thought it was worth listening to Lysol just for those two tracks :(
I thought those two tracks were the reason for listening to Lysol... :P

that's exactly what i meant to say..thanks :D
IMO, Lysol should be in everyones top 3.
Melvins fans who say Lysol is overrated are gay... (Waits for Juan's response)
Was listening to Bullhead for the first time in a long time last night. It is definitely among their best. Maybe their most straightforward work and heaviest (at times). I followed up with King Buzzo. My favorite Melvins record without having to put much thought into it is the Maggot. It's pretty tough to beat IMO and is the one I listen to the most. Pigs is a close second...
HAT takes the lead from Lysol! Seriously though, skipping Hung Bunny and Roman Dog Bird? You need to get your head checked. I wouldn't like the other songs on Lysol if I hadn't just heard that amazing build up. That would be like listening to Eye Flys skipping over the intro and going straight to the vocals... it just doesn't work. And while we're on the subject, is it Roman Dog Bird (like Wikipedia and Amazon both say) or is it Roman Bird Dog (like on discogs.com). Roman Bird Dog makes more sense, but I always assumed that's why it was the opposite...
Gluey Porch
Maggot
Bullhead
POTRE
Eggnog
hey wait a minute, I was about to list them all.....
Went for HAT. Probably does the best job of explaining the Melvins in one album, not that that's really possible.

(http://ihrtn.com/2009/08/20/and-the-winner-is...-melvins-poll-results/)
And the winner is...
*drum roll*
"Hostile Ambient Takover"! with 13% of votes.
Followed closely by "Melvins / Lysol" with 12% of votes.
I agree, though, that its hard to pick just one record in case of band like Melvins and so this poll could be used as a guide for a neophyte/newbie or someone who always wanted to check out their records but didn't know where to start.
Thanks to everyone for voting / checking out this poll and thanks to Melvins, of course, for an inspiration.
Also, feel free to check out results from previous polls, if you're interested:
