damn this is tough

― M@tt He1ges0n, Monday, 27 October 2008 16:46 (seventeen years ago)

I always liked "London Dungeon" because the verse is so tense and moody and the chorus is so bright and shiny.

Return Of The Fly!

― ian, Monday, 27 October 2008 16:51 (seventeen years ago)

wow no way can i choose

― max, Monday, 27 October 2008 16:52 (seventeen years ago)

I'm not a big fan of these comps, or of legacy of brutality, for two reasons: 1) they have an odds and ends feel, which is disappointing given the embarassment of riches that is the misfits catalog, 2) a number of these songs are versions re-recorded by danzig after the misfits broke up in '83, which was totally unnecessary because the orginal versions are waaay better.

(that said, collection I fares much better than II, the A side is pretty goddamn great)

I'm assume most people voting don't care and will just pull the lever for their favorite misfits song, tho. that's cool.

my personal fave is "bullet". even though it's missing the singalong aspect of the best misfits songs, it's so worldclass beserk + meanly offensive it never gets old.

yeah, the '78 version of "Bullet" is unstoppable.

this is the last part of "bullet's" lyrics:
some things are good to realize late than ever

Arise jackie o, jonathon of kennedy
Well, arise and be shot down
The dirts gonna be your dessert
My cum be your life source
And the only way to get it
Is to suck or fuck
Or be poor and devoid
And masturbate me, masturbate me
Then slurp it from your palm
Like a dry desert soaking up rain
Soaking up sun
Like a dry desert soaking up rain
Soaking up sun

Wow - kinda surprised no one voted for 'mommy can I go out and kill tonight' - totally missed poll - I probably woulda!

― BlackIronPrison, Friday, 31 October 2008 00:25 (seventeen years ago)

forgot to vote lol

― Edward III, Friday, 31 October 2008 16:19 (seventeen years ago)

I didn't vote for Skulls because it seemed like the total corny indie motherfucker pick, and being one of those people I decided I probably shouldn't vote at all (also don't think I've actually heard these Collections, so don't know all the tracks, may not have heard the same versions), but, wtf, nobody else did either?

That's a sad showing. Especially since it's Halloween and all.

glad im not the only where eagles dare voter

― NURSES! WE AT FRUIT AT WORK! (John Justen), Friday, 31 October 2008 17:17 (seventeen years ago)

Is that it? Pretty disappointing, ILM. :-(

(I voted for Astro Zombies, btw)

The least we can do to make up for this is rename the board I Love Misfits every Halloween.
