    I'm a fan, but I'll disagree that they are the best punk band ever :cool:

    GREAT horror punk with 50's influence but I don't agree they're the best punk band ever.

    Who's your favourite front man?
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    I am a huge fan of the misfits (1977-1984 era). I think the Graves era is not to bad either. I can't really say I am a huge fan of what they've got going on now. Now I think it's kind of just a parody of itself. I love listening to the old stuff and basically designate the whole month of October to listening to nothing but the misfits.

    Yea, choosing that your name be that of a gelatinous dessert is pretty darn rebellious.

    In my opinion, if you want the quintessential Misfits sound, check out Walk Among Us. This album is full of good hooks to the choruses, and they had fully embraced the horror punk theme by this album. Static Age is also very good although the horror theme was not prominent at this point( Static Age was recorded before Walk Among Us). Earth A.D. is very aggressive and the choruses are pretty much gone by this point, but still a great album. Then there is the CD "Misfits" which has a lot of their singles, and "Misfits II" which has the singles and songs Danzig liked. In all honesty, I would pick up anyone one of these, or a few. You can listen to all of these without feeling overwhelmed because the songs barely reach the 2 minute mark.

    no, not the best...The Clash easily come to mind if I had to choose....Black Flag(Gregg Ginn is a good friend of mine) The Ramones, Dead Kennedys,Minor Threat and Bad Brains all come to mind after that.

    "12 Hits From Hell" contains the best quality recordings that they ever released. Primo !

    Lil' Wayne has a punk rock band. He sings and plays guitar. Apparently it's pretty legit.. I dunno.

    Who's singing this? Is it Danzig? As in Glen Danzig? I love his voice so much. It's surprisingly sexy!

    Minor Threat and Bad Brains > Black Flag >>>>> The Clash.

    You know Greg? that's pretty cool. what's he up to these days?
