Best MUDHONEY Album?

'Mudhoney' is the first one I heard and it blew me away. There is a couple of better songs on the Superfuzz Bigmuff, but I got to go with the self titled one.

After the first two, I think 'Tomorrow Hit Today' is the best one. That one is really consistent and they seemed to let some of the songs jam out a bit more. EGBDF is pretty good, but back then I thought it was kind of samey after the first two. There are some good tunes on the two in between, but there are also a couple of jokey things that make me hit the next button on them.

The comp 'March to Fuzz' is excellent. The first disc hits everything hot and the bonus disc of odd and rare stuff is really fun. If you are a fan, it is worth picking up for that second disc and the fact that the first disc sounds remastered compared to the early CDs. The Best of the BBC collection is also really good if you are a Mudhoney fan.

Voted Superfuzz by a nose, but I'm really loving the new one too!

EGBDF.

I get the feeling all albums will get one vote

I really dig that Fang cover (The Money Will Roll Right In) on their Best Of/Rarities album. Don't remember what it was originally on.

"The Money Will Roll Right In" was originally a "Let It Slide" b-side. One of the best covers the band ever did, so low and greasy and evil-sounding. Motorhead's "Over the Top" = another excellent cover from about the same time - 1st appeared as a "Suck You Dry" b-side. One of the nice things about that March to Fuzz collection is how damn comprehensive it is. A lot of Mudhoney's best tunes appeared in the margins of their discography. "Brand New Face" only ever showed up as a Tommorow Hit Today b-side, and it's one of my favorite songs from that album/era.

Agree w/ earlnash & others about the late-arriving greatness of Tomorrow Hit Today. Only recent Mudhoney album I'd have a hard time parting with.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

easy street records has video up from this past tuesday's cd release instore.

oh shit, my blue flannel wearing suburned bald head is in the spotlight in the lower right. yay easy street! uh thanks i think, lol.

I'm curious about this since I'd always loved Soundgarden and The Melvins, but had a weird Mudhoney blindspot… A pal won tickets to see them back in high school, then at the last minute decided he didn't want to see them and since he had a car and I didn't, I couldn't see them either. He was happy just to let the tickets go to waste.

Fuck you, Mike.

sorry donut....i was wondering what that reflection was .

it's ok. hopefully your resulting eye strain will go away.

so...how are mudhoney live these days?
should i stay or should i go?

Would've loved to see the Superfuzzbigmuff live gig they did.

IMO there were better singles off of Superfuzz, the s/t, and Piece of Cake, but as far as a cohesive album, it's Every Good Boy over Tomorrow Hit Today by a hair.

I wonder if this is going to be one of those polls where noone votes the obvious choice thinking loads of others will and ends up in a how the fuck did that win poll.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

no surprises

wow i dont think ive listened to mudhoney since high school but i mustve listened to them a lot cause i remember every song - i was expecting to be all this is toooo noisy but im enjoying it

are we supposed to take these drama queen lyrics at all seriously tho? theres something in the music thats decidedly fun and good natured

i think i still like the s/t one best

"After the first two, I think 'Tomorrow Hit Today' is the best one."

I strongly agree.

I'm surprised it only got 1 vote and my brother the cow got 3.

these were pretty good results, i think the lucky ones might get another vote or two if it was held again.

'if i think' just came on shuffle. i momentarily forgot what it was and thought it was galaxie 500. true story.

would be fun to do a cover of it in g500 stylee

having read only the last post, i thought that might mean glee (the show) style. which would be okay too.

Been thinking about Mudhoney recently

Was there ever like a Mudhoney Greatest Hits? Because I would buy that.

Yeah, well sort-of, there was the 2-disc March To Fuzz, where the first disc was as close to a greatest hits as they would get (pre-2000 anyway) and the second disc is rarities and b-sides.

I will watch that.

Heard the new Mudhoney song driving into work this morning and it sounds like Mark Arm doing an impersonation VOM-era Richard Meltzer. Not that that is a bad thing.

I saw 'em in Toronto in '91 and Mark spent the whole show pretending they were Rush! He'd go like "Are you ready...for 'The Spirit of Radio!'" and they'd play "This Gift", then "this is about the Priests...of the Temples of Syrinx!" and they'd go into "Touch Me I'm Sick". Fun show.

haha awesome

my favorite Mudhoney record, weirdly, may be Five Dollar Bob's Mock Cooter Stew

I quite liked My Brother The Cow

Yeah I dig that one

Has anybody seen them live recently who can report?

No, but two of my friends have and from their reports it was great - met one right after the show and he was ecstatic, praising grunge as genre etc.

Really? haha

I saw 'em last year and they were great.

Granted I'd never seen them before so I don't any basis for historical comparison but I certainly wasn't disappointed.

For the sake of this long-completed poll, my vote's for Piece of Cake.

The band (and some fans) seem down on it for some reason, I think it's fab.

The vocals on this sound weird, too separate from the music

I wrote about the 30th anniversary of 'Touch Me I'm Sick' for Stereogum.

unperson - enjoyed this very much - just shared with my Mudhoney show-going buddies.

booming piece!

“Touch Me I’m Sick” is a flat-out incredible song = a million times Yes

One great thing about Thanksgiving is listening to forgotten treasures from the attic...

Side 2 of "Superfuzz BigMuff" is absolutely perfect: "No One Has" -> "If I Think" -> "In n Out Of Grace"

They may eventually be lost to time but they were perhaps the greatest band on earth at some point.

August 1, 1988 - "Touch Me I'm Sick" b/w "Sweet Young Thing Ain't Sweet No More" 7 inch gets released on @subpop https://t.co/L1qVL4nFPi https://t.co/q1LZbAX08R

Goddamn Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge is so so good. Excise some of the not as good harmonica songs and it'd be damn near perfect.

New album is another good one, actually might be a step up over the last couple. Impressive how remarkably consistent they've managed to stay.

Yeah, I was really impressed. There's some filler but Mudhoney filler is usually still pretty good.
