I think there awesome and so does my brother. But everyone else I know mainly thinks there no good or are not a fan of Mark Arm. I'd like to hear the Pearl Jam worlds thoughts on the great Mudhoney.

    At one time... they were the shit.

    I think they're pretty good: overrated at one point in their carer and underrated at this point in their career.

    What album would be best to start with to get a whole overview? If they don't have a greatest hits, which would be a good starting point? I have the cooter stew ep (don't know the full name as I am not at home). I like it though, so for a full album what would be recommended? Thanks guys.

    They're one of those bands that I want to like but can't get into their sound. I've yet to have a Mudhoney moment where I needed to seek out and play one of their albums.

    They are the Johnny Drama to Pearl Jam's Vinnie Chase. Safe to say they wouldn't be playing many arenas or amphitheatres without the success of PJ.

    I would start with either the self-titled album or Piece of Cake.

    No problem. When I am in the mood I dig me some Mudhoney. I've sort of lost track of them over the past decade or so, but I have most of their albums before that and they all have some great tunes on them.

    My fav album is My Brother the Cow. I had only heard a handful of their songs before they performed three songs on PJ's Self Pollution radio broadcast (Judgement, Rage, Retribution and Thyme, Generation Spokesmodel, and What Moves the Heart)....
    Those three songs (esp JRR&T and GS) made me buy the album.....other standouts are Into Yer Schtick and FDK (Fearless Doctor Killers).....some of these tunes blend the 'grunge sound' with hardcore punk brilliantly.
    I met Mark Arm and STeve Turner after their club show here in Edmonton (at which EV did a guest spot - met him too!), in the alley while loading their van themselves....they seemed genuinely surprised that I asked for autographs lol....good guys, really gracious.
    I went back in their catalogue from there....I like Piece of Cake, EGBDF, and the ST album quite a bit as well, but never got into Tomorrow Hit Today and kinda stopped following them after that.

    I saw them recently and they shredded! So tight and their guitar sound blew my mind. I think Since We've Become Translucent and The Lucky Ones are their best records by far. I can't revisit their early stuff except EGBDF oddly, but I love what they are up to nowadays.

    I don't have any of their albums, but I really like them. Mark Arm is an animal on the stage - so much engery, it's contagious! I have seen them open several times for PJ and last year in a small club in Detroit. It was awesome! Try to see them live if you can :)
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue! http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/148993/please-pearl-jam-consider-a-vinyl-benaroya-hall-re-issue
