Some of that Yardbirds stuff is really great, with killer fuzz.
Some of it is too bluesy for me, and post-Yardbirds I don't care for any of those musicians all that much, but those Yardbirds LPs are so cheap and plentiful in reissues that giving it a try wouldn't set you back that much.
Still, I know what you mean.
And I like it a little more psychedelic than that in any case.

Big takeover is one of the few songs I like by them.

What album(s) do you think I'd like best?

I love Hot Rats but the rest of his catalog leaves me cold. It's all like some big prank, too jokey. There are many who love him, though.

He has a huge reputation, but I honestly can't name a single song that I know to be his.

Probably becuz he was interested more in the album than the single song. Songs off Joe's Garage might be the most well-known, but again, maybe only becuz they are mostly jokes.

mudhoney are one of my favourite bands ever, and i think mark arm is a fantastic singer, so much disgust, contempt and bile!

[gmku]

I feel weird that I don't like Mudhoney, since so many people do. It's not that I hate them, just that I never really made a connection, never really "got them." I don't know why.

At the same time, I love the Melvins. Go figure.

[Toilet & Bowels]

well it's always the case that whatever style of music you like there will always be popular and acclaimed bands within that style that do nothing for you.

[porkmarras]

They are(were more like) a good band but certainly not as good as Thee Hypnotics or even The Scientists.

All three are worth checking out, but especially Fugazi. Try Repeater, for starters.
