Well how cool ! Thank you for mentioning the POOBAH song Mr Destroyer, Recorded by MONSTER MAGNET, on A Better Dystopia. I'm honored that they Covered a Song I wrote, how cool, and thank you to Monster Magnet and Dave Wyndorf. 🎸 🎸 🎸❤🎸 🎸 🎸 Sea of Tranquility rocks, too! Rock on Pete and Jamie I really dig Monster Magnet, and love that they like Poobah.

Fucking LOVE Monster Magnet. Wyndorf is totally underrated/underappreciated. There is NO SUCH THING as a bad MM album

Man I love Jamie’s passion for music. He gets me to check out bands I never thought I’d be interested in. SOT IS AWESOME.

I've been waiting for this show! Monster Magnet is an important and highly underrated band. Here is my list with a few comments. I don't think they have a weak album in their catalog. It's all great to me. I enjoy the lyric quotes. Dave's a one-of-a-kind writer. 1. Dopes to Infinity- I'm with both of you on the strength of the top of this album, but I see it as a four-track run including All Friends and Kingdom Come, which I view as a psychedelic masterpiece. The "I'm just not quite right today" vocal at the end has appeared in my dreams. 2. Powertrip- The title track is a great stick-it-to-the-man song. This album is crushing! 3. Superjudge- very close to Powertrip. 4. Spine of God 5. Last Patrol- my favorite later-period album 6. Monolithic Baby 7. 25 Tab 8. Four Way Diablo- there's some filler here, but the strong tracks hit me so hard. 9. Mindfucker 10. God Says No- There's something about the production of this album that disagrees with me. 11. Mastermind- I never quite connected with this album, though I do love individual songs.

My introduction to Monster Magnet was hearing Negasonic Teenage Warhead on the radio on WAAF in Boston.

One thing I cannot do is rank the catalog because they are so good. I did finally get to see them in Manchester 2018. 😻

MM are one of those bands that have never made a bad album to my ears ( although some are obviously better than others). Highly entertaining and amusing show Gents…

I was ready to be on the defensive about my Number One rock hero, but seeing Luis Nasser on board, I was instantly reassured. Very insightful, and I agree that Townshend, even when he’s writing about himself, always makes sure he is also writing about us.

1. Dopes to Infinity 2. Powertrip 3. Superjudge 4. God Says No 5. Monolithic Baby 6. Spine of God 7. Cobras & Fire (The Mastermind Mix) 8. Milking the Stars: A Re-Imagining of Last Patrol 9. 4-Way Diablo 10. Mindfucker 11. Mastermind 12. Tab...25 13. A Better Dystopia 14. Last Patrol

in 1992 i saw Monster Magnet with Soundgarden fan ever since. Cobras & Fire and Dopes to Infinity are probably my top 2 i just enjoy them the attitude the feel of the music whatever influences they draw from meshes together well. The Atomic Bitchwax is a killer side project that didn't start as one but now has 3 of the band members.

The pride of Red Bank. Such a consistently good catalog through the years. My top ones would be: "Dopes To Infinity", "Spine Of God", "Powertrip", and "Superjudge".

Good watch. I'm kinda in between you guys. I agree with Jamie on one point....."Cry" really grabs my heart, soul, and brain, probably more than any other MM album. I love Last Patrol. It's kinda like growing-up and aging with them. It's in my top-5 MM albums, for sure.

1. Spine of God 2. Dopes to Infinity 3. Superjudge 4. TAB ... 25 5. Monolithic Baby 6. Lost Patrol (return to form, yay!) 7. Powertrip 8. God Says No 9. 4-Way Diablo 10. Mastermind (probably haven't listened to it enough yet) ** haven't listened to Mindfucker yet **

Monster magnet should be way way more popular they are just awesome

Absolutely fantastic episode which i've been looking forward to for so long. Jamie - i'm in total agreement with your top 6. You really get this great and criminally underrated band.

I like this band a lot. The only thing negative that I can really say is that a few of these suffer from being too long. I did include the "Tab EP" since it's almost an hour long. Plus, it's so good!! 12) God Says No 11) Monolithic Baby! 10) 4-Way Diablo 9) Last Patrol 8) Mindfucker 7) A Better Dystopia 6) Superjudge 5) Spine of God 4) Mastermind 3) Tab 2) Powertrip 1) Dopes to Infinity ("Negasonic..." could play on a loop for 24 hours and I'd still want to hear it more) I really don't ever listen to my #11 & 12, but other than that I can put any of these on and have a great time.

thanks for that - great stuff!

Great episode! Just like Pete, MM dropped off my radar for a bit, although Dopes always managed to get back into the rotation every once in a while over the years. Now after watching this, I want to go back and rediscover more of their music. I used to buy comics from Dave Wyndorf in the mid 80’s when he worked at small shop in the Red Bank Mini Mall. I would also see him at the local VFW comic shows in the area. He was always super nice and fun to chat with.

Can't tell you how much I love that you guys covered MM....love the channel & love the love! F yeah

Thanks, Jamie and Pete, for this ranking episode. Not familiar with the band so onto the SoT listening list they go.

Awesome feature! You guys rule! Love Monster Magnet since the beginning. One of stoners all time greats!

Fun episode guys! Hearing "God Says No" when things just don't work out, lol. So true Jamie! A tough ranking. I actually like "Mastermind" quite a bit, it challenges the top 2 that remain from when I got into MM over 25 years ago. The opening tracks of "Dopes", damn! 1. Powertrip 1998 2. Dopes to Infinity 1995 3. Mastermind 2010 4. Last Patrol 2013 5. Monolithic Baby! 2004 6. Tab 1991 7. A Better Dystopia 2021 8. Mindfucker 2018 9. God Says No 2000 10. 4-Way Diablo 2007 11. Superjudge 1993 12. Spine of God 1991

Laszlo rules!! I saw MM on the "Dopes To Infinity" tour. I was front row. Dave kept taking his Strat off and windmill swinging it by the strap. I had to keep leaning back to not get taken the eff out! They were amazing!

Great show guys. One of my favourite bands As I understood it the tab album was a throwaway to get off the label they were on. The label wanted one more album from them

Always love hearing from Jamie about the bands Jamie loves

I thought I was the only one to rank God Says No at the top!!

i have to relisten to the catalog, but spine of god , might be my fav and fav track ozium!!🐯

I been WAITING for this for soooo long. Thank you Pete!

Hey, he's wearing my Hawkwind tee shirt.

My Ranking of The Monster Magnet 1. SuperJudge 2. Spine of God 3. Drops to Infinity 4. PowerTrip 5. God Says No 6. Mastermind 7. Last Patrol 8. Tab 25 9. Mindfuc*er 10. 4 Ways Diablo 11. Monolithic Baby

Great episode!!

Hi Pete & Jamie. Long time viewer, first time commentator. Really enjoyed the vid. Love Monster Magnet to death. Fortunate to see them live back in ’93 on the Superjudge tour in a small venue in Camden, London. Crazy loud. Dave Wyndorf spent most of the gig being physically propped up by the audience. In between songs he declared that “All I can see is a big fucking cyclops eye staring back at me.” Of course there was no cyclops in the room, but I have no doubt that Dave could see one. Great memories indeed.

Have loved Magnet since hearing Twin Earth on Headbanger’s Ball in 1993 and have had the pleasure of seeing them seven times over the years, most recently in my home town Dublin and Belfast the night before - best though was playing Spine of God in its entirety and some of the Tab tracks in the wonderful venue AB in Brussels in 2012. Loved your run down - love all their albums.

God Says No and Cobras and Fire: The Mastermind Redux are my 2 favorite MM records by far. Milking the Stars is good too, get both of the redux albums everybody!

Fun band - there's a kinda music-biz bs vibe around Wyndorf (similar to Al Jourgensen or Perry Farrell), but you can tell he LOVES his 70s rock and he was very ahead of the curve w/ the tongue in cheek, retro-rockin' irony-tinged vibe. Dude wanted to be a rock star and managed it by Power Trip (which gets a bit too late 90s insincere irony-tinged for me to get behind). I really dig the records beforehand though. And the newer ones are pretty good. The man knows his craft. White Zombie next maybe?

My Favorite Band Of All Time!!! My Personal Ranking Top To Bottom Of The Albums Mentioned Is: 1. Spine Of God 2. Powertrip 3. Dopes To Infinity 4. Monolithic Baby! 5. Superjudge 6. Last Patrol 7. Mastermind 8. God Says No 9. Mindf**ker 10. 4-Way Diablo 11. Tab…25 (or 25… Tab) And As A Bonus 12. Monster Magnet (1990 EP) 13. A Better Dystopia I Should Note That I Love Pretty Much All Of These Releases This Is Just How I Rank Them 😉

Mindfucker is highly underrated. Hell, the band is highly underrated. Been listening to them since Superjudge. Did shots with Dave at the Peppermint Beach Club in Virginia Beach in 93 when they played with Paw and Raging Slab. Fast forward 10-15 years later to a Lunatic Luau in Va Beach and they played so early in the day that they stuck around and watched other bands. I bumped into Wyndorf and Mundell while watching Superjoint Ritual. Anselmo begs people to fuck each other up in the pit and Wyndorf looks at me and says “these motherfuckers are crazy”. Also told me they rarely play the states due to the fact they can’t make any money. They get paid well in Europe but not here. Sad

Love cobras and fire

I was waiting and requesting this one for a while

Have been a fan since Superjudge was released in 1993when I saw in Jack's Music in Red Bank NJ it was an Employees #1 pick of the week! went back the following week and bought the EP, 25.....tab and Spine of God and been a Fanatic since, and felt they got better with every release.And A Better Dystopia hasn't left my car for months after it's release! Had my ranking done, then I watched this episode and went back and listened to Mindfucker and 4-Way Diablo a little more and found a new appreciation for them and moved them up a couple of slots! with that said, here we go... 11. 25.........tab (I really have to be in the mood for this one!) 10. Last Patrol 9. Mastermind 8. Spine Of God 7. Superjudge 6. 4-Way Diablo 5. Mindfucker 4. Dopes To Infinity 3. God Says NO 2. Monolithic Baby! 1. Powertrip

4 way Diabolo is such a favourite 🤟

Cool vid guys. I’m like Pete where I listened to them a ton in the 90s but lost track of them in 2000s. Picked up their last couple albums the last couple years when they came out and going to work backwards in the catalogue now. 🤟

Not sure how anyone can have such a low opinion of God Says No. One of their best tracks is hands down All Shook Out. It's so dynamic, has an intro, middle, and last verse is like a climax: "I'm riding history with the back of my hand, just like your daddy did in viet name. I said Children of the Atom, let's get together and die!" Dave knows how to put together a song...

Great episode, i only know a couple of their albums but i always liked wjat i heard. Truckfighters would make for a great ranking if youre a fan. Their first album Gravity X is a stoner classic. I love how you apologise for swearing very occasionally then you have Jamie on and he goes to town 😂. Got to love the passion.

Dark Tranquillity with Steeve! Great you are getting to that one. I suggested to both of you some time ago. I am patient 😁

This is a really fun episode. I bought 'Spine of God' because of the cover and a review, loved it. Next thing I remember was "Space Lord" on MTv in heavy rotation and I was not really into it, I never went back to the well again. Missed out on everything else! This is a reminder of one of those bands that were just off my radar (or for the "off the bandwagon for no reason" episode).

I heard Dave didn't like the production on God Says No cuz he thought it was too slick and polished, but that's the reason why I DO like it

Great episode! So cool to see MM ranked. Have to go with Spine Of God as my favorite. Love Powertrip. I bought the cassette on a business trip and played it in the rental car non-stop. Then for a solid month after that.

Love it all

1. Powertrip 2. Monolithic Baby 3. Superjudge 4. Dopes To Infinity 5. Cobras and Fire (The Mastermind Redux) 6. Milking the Stars: A Re-Imagining of Last Patrol 7. Spine of God 8. Tab...25 9 Last Patrol 10. Mastermind 11. God Says No 12. A Better Dystopia 13. MindFucker 14. 4-Way Diablo

Been waiting on this ranking for a while. Worth the wait. Great show. Jamie’s enthusiasm for this band was cool. Must say no bad albums at all and my ranking could change any day. Already have changed things around several times but for today here it is #11- Tab 25 #10- Last Patrol #9- God Says No #8- Superjudge #7- Mindfucker #6- Mastermind #5- 4-Way Diablo #4- Monolithic #3- Spine of God #2- Dopes to Infinity #1- Powertrip Dopes was my introduction to the band and was hooked. The only reason I I have Powertrip #1 over Dopes is Dopes just runs a little long at the end. Take off a song or 2 and it would probably be #1. Still could be to be honestly because there are some real kick ass songs on this. Like I said this is a hard ranking, no stinkers at all in this catalog. Great show

1. Dopes to infinity 2. Superjudge 3. God says no 4. Powertrip 5. 4-Way Diablo 6. Last patrol 7. Monolithic Baby! 8. Spine of God 9. Mindfucker 10. Mastermind 11. Tab

Fantastic band.

Monster Magnet is one of the bands I annoyed my wife with. She hadn't yet grasped just how much of an obsessive nerd I am. She'd gotten into them, got Dopes and Powertrip. Then I listened to them. And off I went, I got Spine, I got Superjudge, I read up on them (harder in the days before wiki), hooked on all his comic book ERB nerdiness, instantly I was a bigger fan of them that her. I always have to pick God Says No as my favorite. From that opening line on that album just talks to me. Thanks Jamie for getting Pete back into them so we could get this show. And no I didn't no Dystopia was a covers album. Pretty freaking covers album indeed.

Thanks for this one. Saw MM with Manson in 1999 and they were awesome.

Amazing band. Love this channel.

1) Powertrip 2) Monolithic Baby! 3) Dopes to Infinity 4) Superjudge 5) Spine of God 6) God Says No 7) Mastermind 8) Tab 9) Last Patrol 10) 4-Way Diablo 11) Mindfucker

Loved this episode. Was waiting for this ever since I knew you guys were going to rate this catalogue. I am a monster Monster Magnet fan. Here is my rating. I love them all, but here goes. 10. Superjudge 9. 4 Way Diablo 8. Spine of God 7. Powertrip 6. Monolithic Baby 5. Mindfucker 4. Last Patrol 3. Mastermind '2. Dopes to Infinity 1 God Says No honourable mentions - Milking the Stars, Cobras and Fire, 25 and Tab and A Better Dystopia. Like I said, Monstrous Monster Magnet fan here!

Powertrip at #1 for me by a landslide. I don't think there's anything commercial sounding on that record. 10/10, one of the best albums of the 90s. #2 is Dopes, also love that one to death. Can't rank the rest, they are more or less equal to me. All good with some great songs here and there, but I think those two rise way above everything else.

Nice, MM binge day!

It's all great for me up to Monolithic Baby!, with a strong affinity to the 90's material. I think Dopes to Infinity is one of the greatest albums of the 90's and Powertrip, THE greatest ROCK album of the late 90's (97-99, not a great time for rock in general). I do really love that reimagining odds and sods of The Last Patrol, which they do in the early Monster Magnet style. Such a great band, they really should have gotten bigger than they did.

Not that it matters, but as a long time MM fan & 68 year old hippie, I'll throw my 2 cents in. First off... "Powertrip" is one of my least favorite albums by the band. Way too over produced & commercial sounding for me. On the other hand, the next album, "God Says No" is one of my favorites. Whenever I'm having a bad day & I'm really pissed at the world, "Melt" cranked to the max always makes me feel things will be OK & soothes my soul. My favorite hands down though is "Dopes to Infinity". It's an absolute mind fucker! My other choices lean more towards the older psych stuff, although I really think the "redux" re-releases are pretty damn good as well & I like them much better than the original's. That's just my quick 2 cents.

Two things I didn't hear mentioned: The self titled EP, which is more in line with Spine Of God and is in my opinion one of their strongest releases. God Says No had a different track list in Europe. It's been a long time since I heard it but I remember thinking they left off two of my favorite tracks for the US version. There is also a recent release called Test Patterns Vol 1 that is two early versions of the song "Tab". Spine Of God Dopes To Infinity Superjudge Tab ...25 Powertrip God Says No Monolithic Baby The rest I would have to listen to again to rank.

Long time fan of the band here. My list: 1. Dopes to Infinity (One of my all-time fav albums of any genre) 2. Superjudge 3. Spine of God 4. Last Patrol 4.5 Milking the Stars 5. Mastermind 5.5 Cobras and Fire 6. Monolithic Baby 7. Powertrip 8. God Says No 9. A Better Dystopia 10. Tab... 25 11. Mindfucker 12. 4-Way Diablo I don't much care for the bottom two (though each has some standout cuts). Tab is just dumb fun, but you can;t really take it too seriously. The covers album is cool but I tend to shelve covers albums quickly, this was no different.

TODAY: 1. Dopes to Infinity; 2. Last Patrol; 3. 25... Tab; 4. 4-Way Diablo; 5. Mastermind; 6. Minfucker; 7. Spine of God; 8. Superjudge; 9. Powertrip; 10. God Says No; 11. Monolithic Baby. YESTERDAY: 1. Dopes to Infinity; 2. Spine of God; 3. 25... Tab; 4. Superjudge; 5. Powertrip; 6. God Says No. TOMORROW?

Love me some Monster Magnet and fellow New Jerseyan 🤘🤘

Same as Pete, I kinda lost track of them along the way. Gonna have to check out some of these that I've missed. Side note...I always assumed "There's No Way Out Of Here" was a Gilmour song (which I loved). So I went and listened to the original by Unicorn. It's a mid-tempo country folk ballad. Holy crap, it's amazing! Also MM version is terrific. Bottom line...it's a great freakin' song.

Hungover Sunday viewing par excellence. Oh the states I have been in to the earlier part of that catalogue 😂🙄

I love Spine of God so much I had an 8-track tape custom made for me.

Love me some Monster Magnet. I agree almost totally with Jamie so no need to write out my own list, though I'd probably put Powertrip at number 1, but it's close. Pete's list is whack.

I was only thinking about if you had done MM rankings a few days ago lol

I didn't like God Says No when it came out but it sounds way better to my older ears. Nice choice. Its hard to pick a number one with these albums. Spine, Dopes, and Powertrip are all my favs when they are on.

Omg Jamie was just cracking me up throughout. 😂

Dopes To Infinity- absolutely played this to death and still love it Superjudge- the first MM album I bought. Power Trip Monolithic Baby Mastermind God Says No 4-Way Diablo Lost Patrol Mindfucker I don’t have Spine Of God or Tab. Will have to remedy that soon

Listening to "Mindfucker" it reminds me of the Canadian band The Headstones. A band to check out for those that don't know them. Another band more like the rest of MM's discography is Mos Generator, recently discovered them. Definitely worth checking out, been around over 20 years, but I only just heard 'em.

❤

There’s a few I don’t have but love monster magnet I’ll rank what I got 1 Dopes to infinity 2 Superjudge 3 Powertrip 4 God says no 5 Spine of god 6 Monolithic baby 7 Tab 8 Mastermind 9 4 way Diablo

I guess I’m a moody sob, “Last Patrol”, is #1. “Powertrip”, #2 and “Mastermind”, #3.

Hold on, “All friends and kingdom come” is the best song on that album.

EJECTION- song 🎵 from 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣8️⃣ = top 40 hit - if given proper air play on fm radio etc - in my opinion 👍💯

Never heard to be honest ...thank you Pete , thanx Jammie ( little less w next time )😉🤣

Didn’t recall either one of you mentioning the self titled Glitterhouse release. Technically that’s their first album right?

Good band...😃👍

In the morning our minds are fresh, and ready to be corrupted.

Superjudge Tab Dopes

My entrance was Dopes and I am like you Pete I just stopped following at one point but by no fault of the band. Looks like I have some catching up to do. Thanks for my playlist tonight guys!

Where have you been hiding this guy at, Pete ?

There is also the Monster Magnet e.p. that came out before tab....25, in 1990 and its really good, just a little bit underproduced, about 28 minutes, 6 songs or so, 2 that made it on to Spine, an early version of Tractor and three others some of which might be covers, the book on my copy has no liner notes, just psychedelic squiglly shit.

Spine of God is easily the #1. The rest is up for debate...IMO

NetZero?! i know some people who still have AOL email addresses

So right man: SMOKE

44:07

Monolithic to me really plays like a "Greatest Hits" album ... & a lot of bands would love to have such a great collection of hit songs. ... which is funny because I don't think the album had any hits at all ....

I only own four. I came in at "Dopes to Infinity" and lost interest with "God Says No". I went back to "Spine of God," and really, I didn't think it was as good as DTI, so I never got "Superjudge" either. 1. Dopes to Infinity 2. Powertrip 3. Spine of God 4. God Says No

Dave looks exactly like Ace Frehley

Here's what I got. I'm sure there'd be some shuffling after the first few if I did a deep re-listen. Pete are you gonna go see them at Desertfest next month? Sad to see Truckfighters had to drop off the bill. Hopefully Colour Haze will still make it. 1. Spine Of God (1991) 2. Dopes To Infinity (1995) 3. Superjudge (1993) 4. Powertrip (1998) 5. Tab...25 (1991) 6. Last Patrol (2013) 7. A Better Dystopia (2021) 8. Cobras And Fire (The Mastermind Remix) (2015) 9. Milking The Stars: A Re-Imagining of Last Patrol (2014) 10. God Says No (2001) 11. Monolithic Baby! (2004) 12. Monster Magnet EP (1990) 13. Mastermind (2010) 14. 4-Way Diablo (2007) 15. Mindfucker (2018)

How are we not mentioning that Twin Earth is a major rip-off of Captain Beyond's Memorization Eclipse??? :( Has to be mentioned...

Power trip only for me. i wasnt so much into that band

Good rankings. Jaime, you turned a 30 min ranking into an hour. Less is more.

Very easy with this band….spine an ep …all day long….closest they ever came to bird fart…..😁 h wind to the idiots….
