Most of the people who say they like the Melvins have never heard the Melvins.
There's maybe 7 decent songs in their entire catalog, and one is a Kiss cover.

Tell me!
Gluey Porch Treatments
Stoner Witch
You can safely skip the rest.

If all the CRAP voters are not fans of heavy music then fair enough. Otherwise i am just confused. I'm not a Melvins devotee. I do not believe everything they do is great. I am certain much of their material is an acquired taste. They are not anywhere near my favourite band. I only have 3 full albums and a bunch of other various tracks from their expansive output. But when they are on form, christ they know how to rock. Such powerful drumming and relentless riffs!
If someone was looking for a way-in, or maybe just an example of what (in my eyes) makes them so good at what they do, i would suggest ;
"Honey Bucket" from HOUDINI
"Heaviness of the Load" from GLUEY PORCH TREATMENTS
"Bar-X-the Rocking-M" from STAG
"The Bit" from STAG
If anyone who likes heavy music can listen to "The Bit" and somehow manage not to wanna rock out, then this person i do not desire to meet. For soulless and the fool are they that cannot feel the true power of rock.

No Doubt are crap, Matchbox 20 are crap. The Melvins are not fucking crap.

This statement is crap. WF none.
Here, let me make a similar statement:

There. That makes as much sense as the original source quote.

My favorite three? Throw out
Prick and the 1-12 comp, and pick any.
Except maybe the Lustmord record, which I haven't fully synched to yet, and I haven't acquired the Jello discs. But that's just laziness on my part.

The Maggot
Stoner Witch
Bullhead
If you like those and wanna check out some of their softer more experimental stuff, check out The Bootlicker and Honky.
Enjoy,

Why are people who clearly don't like heavy music even bothering with this? I don't come to your threads and criticize antiquing or rough trade.
NOT CRAP.
