still deciding which one of em gets my vote. leaning toward mersh since i have a strong feeling that's all it's gonna get.
mersh it is.
― fact checking cuz, Thursday, 1 April 2010 22:38 (fourteen years ago) link
Mersh isn't bad at all. I love it more than Three Way Tie. 'The Cheerleaders' is a jam.
― wronger than 100 geir posts (MacDara), Thursday, 1 April 2010 22:44 (fourteen years ago) link
every song on it is a jam! even "more spiel" in its trance-like way.
― fact checking cuz, Thursday, 1 April 2010 22:51 (fourteen years ago) link
i loved that album when it came out. i probably listened to it more than any of their other stuff.

Flip Your Wig is the album out of all these I listen to most these days.

I cant find a meat puppets albums poll, so unless a board lawyer prick can find one, shall we do a meat puppets album poll?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 2 April 2010 17:13 (fourteen years ago) link
There's been a thread debating the subject but no poll I don't think. If you do it be sure to include Out My Way EP, b/c jeez if MP I is an album then Out My Way is also long enough to be one.
― Astley Hunchings (Jon Lewis), Friday, 2 April 2010 17:34 (fourteen years ago) link
but is it classed as an lp or ep?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 2 April 2010 17:43 (fourteen years ago) link
It's classed as an EP. But it's such an underdog and no one ever talks about it ever. It's a midpoint between Up On The Sun golden-psych-thicket and the more mersh Mirage sound.
― Astley Hunchings (Jon Lewis), Friday, 2 April 2010 17:53 (fourteen years ago) link
Out My Way is a jam. Probably my top SST from 1986. Better than Evol? Yeah.
― dad a, Friday, 2 April 2010 18:24 (fourteen years ago) link
But with all my love for Up On The Sun I'm voting here for My First Bells because I mean come on.

I dont think St Vitus will do as well this time. Next poll it might though.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 5 April 2010 15:25 (fourteen years ago) link
Finally tipped for Up On The Sun b/c My First Bells no longer exists in that form, and New Day Rising i've so internalized that I never really play it anymore.
And bc Up On The Sun still seems to paint a picture of an escapist oasis I would gladly live in if I knew where to find it.

Oh you know what I mean! It was a dodgy rationalization that helped me come to a decision.

One thing this thread has done is reinforce my belief that I really should get some more Minutemen into my collection.

It really does, doesn't it? It's a surefire cure for the winter blues.

I can't vote for NDR without mentioning the production. Again.But I will.Closely followed by Up on the Sun

I'm even voting for NDR so yeah I think it's a foregone conclusion. This'll be the last year though.

Poor Würm. I've always felt sorry for them for being the second-most famous mid-'80s hardcore band to have umlauts. They're like SST's house Tommie Aaron.

This poll was a very tough one. In any other year the likes of Project: Mersh would be right up at the top. But there was no way it was gonna happen with New Dat Rising, My First Bells et al.
― wronger than 100 geir posts (MacDara), Tuesday, 6 April 2010 23:54 (fourteen years ago) link
New DAY Rising, obviously. But maybe if they had Dat back then for recording it would've sounded better.
