Ho Ho Hooo

I continue to roll out the vinyl records as my choices get interesting. My one hundred and second pick.

Artist - Melvins
Album - Houdini
Released - 1993
Label - Atlantic
Genre - Alternative Metal

Tracks:
Hooch
Night Goat
Lizzy
Going Blind
Honey Bucket
Hag Me
Set Me Straight
Sky Pup
Joan of Arc
Teet
Copache
Pearl Bomb
Spread Eagle Beagle

The fifth album by the Melvins, this one has some significance to it.  I mean, one, it was co-produced by Kurt Cobain (my favorite artist ever) and two, it's a fantastic record.  Back in 1993, the grunge movement was sweeping the nation and even the world with such artists as Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden while here you have the Melvins with their alternative metal sound.  Forming all the way back in 1983 (I was 3 years old), Buzz and Dale have been the ongoing members ever since.  Still touring to this day, it's amazing that a band with such longevity can tour, perform and have such an amazing following, old and new.  

Enjoy!
