I think you pretty much summed up the Misfits with Danzig:

"I prefer hard and fast with dark and rude."

Do yourself a favor, go pick up collection I and ESPECIALLY collection II, you wont be disappointed.

Thank You gloco!
I have written down your suggestions so I when I get to the store and go brain dead again, I will have notes.

If my plan for today goes through I may be in a place where I saw that coffin shaped box set once. If they have it, they won't when I leave.

During Punk's heyday I was regular in the New York scene. I was lucky enough to see all the bands at the starting gate at both Max's and CBGB's. Both Television and Patti Smith remain favorites to this day. One band which I was really impressed with but failed to make it was a group called Suicide which featured two guys Alan Vega and Martin Rev. They were kinda of a cross between the German band Can and Iggy Pop.
The Stranglers were also a favorite at that time but I was never able to see them live.

I really don't like the Misfits. I bought Collections II and thought it was terrible... I don't understand... I do like Last Caress (surprise) but most of the other songs are really dumb. (Helen Delambre Oh The King Of The Flies) lol I have no clue what they're talkin about.

HOWEVER...

If you like Political Punk at all, or just punk in general, or if you don't like punk at all, check out the band Propagandhi. They are the best band I've ever heard, and have not found a person who disliked them!

BTW...

New Blink = Terrible
Old Blink = Pretty Good

 

[Mr.PD]

Fizzmix; That's interesting. What if I am a part of the vast right wing conspiracy? Which I am

Will I be offended by this Propagandhi band?

[Fizzmix]

They're very left wing. Although, you may still like them. My mom is right wing and she likes them!

If you want to check out some of their good songs, look for A People's History Of The World, Showdown, Middle Finger Response, or Anti-Manifesto. That is of course, if you are into the whole pirated music thing

If not, you should check out the cd Less Talk More Rock. I think it's their best.

 

[Mr.PD]

Okay Fizzmix I wrote that down and will look for it.
gloco, I ordered Collection II yesterday before I went to work. I was unable to get my s**t together enough to get to a store in person.

I prefer The Weakerthans to Propaghandi

These discussions about who is really punk and who isn't hardcore enough to be punk kind of annoy me. I listen to a lot of punk music, I don't really care if it's part of a movement or not, if I like the sound or I like a direction some bands go in, I buy their CD and go to their shows. End of story.

 

[Fizzmix]

Yea, good call RMS. I say listen to whatever you like, and don't let what other people's feelings on certain bands dictate what you listen to or don't listen to. Yea the Weakerthans are a lot more poetic, but I don't feel they are are strong musically. Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes was an upset for me though, being a HUGE fan of their first 3 cds. Do you know of any other good political punk bands a-la-Propagandhi RMS?

I now have Misfits-CollectionII and Walk Among Us
I also have "Lame" Misfits- Cuts From the Crypt and American Psycho.
Sorry gloco but I prefer the new Misfits. Mostly due to better production, more polished and more of that "wall of noise" factor. I like the original Misfits, I just like the new incarnation better.

Ever heard of Darlington? They try to sound like the Ramones, most of the songs on their self titled CD are rather lame.

Speaking of Ramones, I got All The Stuff and More Volume 2. It has I Wanna Be Sedated and Sheena is a Punk Rocker both recomended here. 30 tracks total.

I've picked up Guttermouth- Covered With Ants; this is very good there is one song that I really like called Chug A Lug Night it brought out lots of memories.

Also got Rancid- .....And Out Come The Wolves; This is one of the best albums I have ever purchased. It has Ruby Soho, and Olympia WA, which are two of my favorites.

Bad Religion- The Process of Belief. Who ever said these guys aren't punk may be right. This is a good album and I like it very much. It is borderline punk when compared to Ramones or Rancid or even NOFX.

I have picked up 3 of the Punk-O-Rama CD's, Vol's 7,6,and 4. These are great with a good variety of bands and styles for 6 bucks. The newest one, Volume 7 cost me $7.99 but I think I got ripped. Good stuff, cheap price.
