Title: Favorite Melvins Single
Post by: CaptainPungent on March 08, 2006, 10:12:03 AM
I'm not sure if this has been done before, sorry if it has been.
I thought it would be interesting to hear what others favorites are and why.

Lexicon Devil
-because of it's heavy heavy punk melvins sound

In The Rain
-is Dale singing?  i think it's funny and catchy

Leech
-a classic

Scared
-Very heavy stuff

Jerkin' Kronkus
-I love the guitar effect at the end

My favourite single is the Flipper 5 inch. But that's because I'm a big Flipper fan and the Melvins do the songs justice, especially Love Canal.

I like most of the HAT singles. Black Stooges/Foaming (fast version) and Dr Geek/Return Of The Spiders in particular.

Really like the With Yo Heart Not Yo Hands single for some reason.

From the Singles 1-12 my favourite tracks are Leech, Lexicon Devil, Way Of The World, Poison, Theme and of course Theresa Screams which is probably the greatest yet most unlistenable song ever

I think it's Dale singing on Return of the Spiders. Some of my favorite singles are Night Goat, Wit Yo Heart Not Yo Hands, Today Your Love Tomorrow the World, and Promise Me. They are just really good at picking great songs to cover.

Once before a show I complemented Dale on his singing on "Return of the Spiders" and he told me that he had actually played everything on that recording: guitar, bass and drums.  I was quite impressed.  Buzz played everything on "Today Your Love...", so where was Kevin's solo cover?

This is hard.

I'll, at this moment in time, go for lexicon devil. Because a lot of people have covered this track before and i think the melvins did the best job. well, the best job that i've heard anyway.

I like Theresa Screams.
