4.Stag

half of prick I love, roll another one is a gem. the other half......
i just picked it up yesterday, and was the first time i heard it, and i was sort of let down. :lol:
My top five in no order:-
1)H.A.T
2)The Bootlicker
3)Stoner Witch
4)Honky
5)Houdini
Great Thread....
1. Gluey Porch Treatments (IMO, if you dont like this one, you dont "get" the Melvins yet)
2. Stoner Witch
3. Honky
4. Ozma
5. Stag(this one really should be higher cuz its packed full of so much stuff, but im going more by what ive found myself listening to the most)
6. 10 songs
7. Houdini
8. HAT
9. Lysol
10. Eggnog (eggnog is awesome, but its not a full-length, so its not really fair to rate it along with the others)
11. Bullhead (awesome songs, just cant get used to the production)
12. POTRE (still a decent release, just not one of my favorites)
I always think of the Ipecac Trilogy as 1 whole, so i didnt include any of them individually in the list, but Bootlicker would rate pretty high if on its own.
in no particular order...
Stag
Eggnog
Pigs of the Roman Empire
Hostile Ambient Takeover
Houdini
Stoner Witch
I'm surprised H.A.T. gets a high rank in most of you peoples lists. I thought I was kind of alone thinking it's genius.
its one of the melvins album i actually need to have two of, cause the one i have niw is worn out, almost
Im surprised GPT isnt anywhere near the top for a lot of folks.
it hurts my head trying to decide my absolute favorite melvins album.
my stranded on an island 5 would be-
bullhead, lysol, stoner witch, stag, & hat AND eggnog
fuck em. i'm bringin 6.
no order, only 5:
(this is tough)
Hostile Ambient Takeover
Gluey Porch Treatments
Ozma
Pigs of the Roman Empire
Eggnog
10 songs
Houdini
fine, 7.
oh man....but stag is so good.. this is impossible
Can't do it, it's too hard.
to follow someone else's lead, my five on the island might be:
-Gluey
-Honky
-HAT
-Stag
-POTRE
Good listening value i think :)
I think it would be easier to pick my least favourites. which, of course, doesn't mean that I don't still love 'em.
-Crybaby
-Houdini
-Never Breathe (if this counts)
i am surprised so many people don't like crybaby and bootlicker.
well i guess if i had to pick a LEAST liked album out of so many that i do like on a whole it may be one of those, but im not sure.
the bootlicker is pretty good.
In no order:
Stag
Stoner Witch

Here we go, this is in very loose order:
Houdini
Bullhead
Hostile Ambient Takeover
Honky
Lysol
The Maggot
Stag
Gluey Porch Treatments
Stoner Witch
The Bootlicker
Colossus of Destiny
Pigs Of The Roman Empire
Prick
Ozma
Your Choice Live Series
Electroretard
The solo EPs (collectively, I have them burned onto a single disc, Individually I rank them: Buzz, Dale, Joe)
10/26 Songs
The Crybaby
Millennium Monsterwork
The Mangled Demos
Singles 1-12
I really tend gruop 'em in 5s, so any of the first 5 might switch around, but are higher than any of the next 5. Never Breathe What You Can't See is to A Jello Biafra album with the MELVINS as guests. I don't rank it with the MELVINS albums. I like it, it just sounds more like a Jello album. Alive at.. and Eggnog are EPs, so I don't rank them with the albums. Eggnog would be rather high, Alive at would be kinda low.

I agree about the solos. many others here seem to think the opposite which confuses me. i think joe's is alright, but not genius. buzz's has a really great sound, even though every single song has the exact same structure. i find dale's to be very surprising. almost cheesy.
i am somewhat shocked to find 10 songs at the bottom of your loose list.
i think that stuff is real gold.
i also think the singles discs are pretty amusing and insightful (in relation to the band's personality and sense of humor/seriousness). but to be fair, i guess it really doesn't belong high on a list.

??? buzz` solo album has 4 very different songs[/quote]
Quote from: klump
??? buzz` solo album has 4 very different songs
its true. but they sound real similar to me in that they both start sort of simple and rhythmically and then progress to a riff, and wind up being somewhat repetitive. don't get me wrong, i think the rhythms and riffs are great. just not as freely structured as like, a song on gpt. yaknow? i'm definitely not complaining here though.

Thats a great Top Ten blacksanta! That Top 5 echos my opinion exactly, but to have Joe's EP and The Your Choice Live series below Never Breathe and COD is abominable!
The Your Choice version of Anaconda is GOD!
At least we agree on the Top 5 8)
Well.......even wayyy back in the day I always thought YCLS was a pretty boring record but I do agree that Anaconda (and Heater Moves) is the best track on it. Crover's drums sound great, but the vocals (and this is the only time the vocals have ever bothered me on a Melvins record) sound........tired?
Preston has a cute sound effect track, a crushing riffer and.......well, I'm not sure if I just don't like drone or if its this drone but I don't have the patience for "Hans". I hope his second flower comes quicker.
COD I never put on either but it makes a good headphone exercise.
