Nice!  Why are lorax and Kevin "shining"? 

[(the) flutter nuts]

waiting for them to incorporate the two tuba players from ORE into the band for a special at the Royal Albert Hall.

Goodness a Melvins/ORE drony, doom record would be awesome.

Oh fuck yes, i'd fly there most definitely

[Satchel Paige]

Most def the years '96-'04 which means both Kevin & Mark.
I voted for Kevin, though my favorite Melvs lineup (all of them) is the Melvs with the ALMIGHTY Tejas intruder.

[Illusionator]

I voted Mark D era, but now want to change to Lorax. She brought the epic sloooooowwww to them I think (or they slowed down more during her tenure). Just my thought tho

[deatheats]

Hmm...I'd have to say the 1983-2013 era was the most creative.

[TosT]

instinctively i want to say the Mark D era, just because of the sheer stylistic variety of songs on the 3 albums

[Bigval]

Rutmanis era.

HAT is so awesome and I've listened to it so many times I almost feel like I've done the band a disservice by only paying for it the once on CD!

looks like only two persons voted for the current line up,discuss!

[Zorn]

I guess the current line-up has been creative in the way of putting it together, but the three records they've done are less diversified than other releases with other line-ups. Not that they're not original or whatever, but there are worlds between HAT and POTRE (as an example) in terms of inventiveness you can't find between ASA and NWB. That's how I feel about that, though I really like BB-era.

I think it's a hard question and I'm really not sure. 

i need your opinion too
