Happy Horrorween, everybody. With horror film reviews coming from all corners of Amazon in this unholiest of months, I've decided to focus my attention elsewhere for a change. After all, I'm always in horror mode. Right now, I'm in the mood to pimp my favorite sounds of the season; the stuff that oughtta be in your CD player and on your iPod this month when you aren't glued to the couch watching your beloved DVD's of favorites from Halloweens gone by or scanning your cable guide for the season's must-DVR gems. Welcome to my parade of all-time favorite horror/rock albums.
Numero uno. Ladies and gentlemen, I present the often imitated but never duplicated masters of horror/punk, The Misfits. From hell they came! This is their ... Read More:

I have both of the misfits collection cds and this one is my favorite. Its got a great list of songs and the sound may not sound as good on some songs its still good. One cool thing about collection 2 is the lyrics. But you just can't go wrong with this one.

I mean that in the truest sense: The Misfits are a greatly misunderstood band and I love that. People who don't know them assume they are a wierdo punk-goth band. They are so much more than that.
The melodies on here are profound. You'll find the songs stuck in your head for weeks. These guys were such pioneers, a decade ahead of their time. The Misfits should have changed their name when Glenn left though...
Favorite tracks: "I Turned into a Martian," "Skulls," "Astro-Zombies," and "London Dungeon."

Though very often heralded as punk, or goth punk, or even metal, the Misfits are none-of-the-above. In-fact, the Misfits, not easily pigeonholed, have all the very early makings of what has now become Psychobilly: classic 50's rock-a-billy era tunes infused with heavy punk and some heavy metal elements. Their influence can easily be heard in the result of many modern bands, i.e. Tiger Army, Necromantiks, The Quakes and etc. A definite tight album with great hits form their early years, that showcases Danzig's songwriting ability.

Misfits *****
One of the great punk bands of all time was only great for a few years. The Misfits are easily on eof the all time best punk bands and really one of the best bands of all time from any genre. Glen Danzig the bands frontman and lead singerfronted the band in the late 1970's and early 1980's until he left the band to form Samhain. Danzig was really the driving force behind the band, writing most of the songs and arranging everything, also his voice is one of the most recongnizable in all of rock n' roll history. So when he left the band in the mid 1980's the band did continue on but they were never the same. Hardcore fans never felt the same abou thte band again and while they still sang about the same things and ... Read More:
