Coming in at number 16 on Rolling Stones Greatest Grunge Albums list is the Melvins 1993 major label debut, Houdini. Co-hosted this week, from the Synaptic Empire, host Randy Brown.

Houdini is the fifth studio album by the Melvins, released in 1993 on Atlantic Records. The album was the band's major label debut after releasing their previous albums on the independent label Boner Records.
