10 Awesome Melvins Songs You've Ignored For Too Long

1. Queen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BafSlqFVuGM Finally we get to one of the catchiest songs in the Melvins arsenal, from their 1994 full length Stoner Witch. It is one of those songs that will just burrow into your head leaving you humming all day. Simultaneously heavy and melodic, this song has a way with dynamics that cannot be denied. Queen has got to be one of the most "normal" songs of their long career, with the verse lulling the listener into a false sense of calm before building into the driving chorus with the vocals making a leap to the forefront of the music, all the while the rhythm section is keeping everything together with force and fury. It toys with what one would expect out the traditional rock format, following the verse-chorus approach before an abrupt, unexpected ending. This song is one of the best introductions people that haven't been blessed can get to prolific output the Melvins have produced. Rocking, catchy, and undeniably grooving its a great combination of the various styles that the band continues to this day to twist and mould into whatever form they deem fit.
