had to run for cover, yeah
maybe too obvious
here are my pics as someone who just got the ability to experience winter, i had very little to base things on beforehand
perhaps my favorite winter song ever, if not album
most of this album is winter-friendly (âcall meâ is a summer song to me for some reason)
anything actress is winter music to me
for a long time i thought my favorite misfits song was hybrid moments
the slight dip in his voice to minor key when he says âooo baby when you cryâ is exquisite, not to mention the beauty of the line itself âooo baby when you cry, you face is momentary.â and how can i even begin to appreciate danzigâs coinage of the phrase âhybrid moments,â which i think we all understand but none of us can explain.
however, lately iâve been getting similar feelings with skulls
something about the structure of this song and danzigâs vocals makes me want to call it the best bruce springsteen song ever recorded. i love the off the cuff yet urgent delivery he has during the chorus.
this also brings to mind other great misfits song, such as my favorite of their more traditional numbers, bullet:
this doesnât quite have the x-factor of their best songs, but thereâs something about the by-the-numbers music next to obvious shocking lyrics about assassination, sucking, and fucking that is greater than the sum of its parts
last caress, the first misfits song i ever heard when i was a wee lad, also has a special place in my heart:
even then, i think the magical misfits combo of doo-wop melodies and schlocky lyrics spoke to me
back then i was also too young to know the difference between âgood misfitsâ and âbad misfits,â so i also became quite partial to helena from famous monsters:
i remember wondering why the guys voice sounded so different. the âfast riffâ was probably the heaviest thing iâd heard in my life at that point.
and no list of misfits songs would be complete without mention of halloween, which would probably rank higher on my own personal list had i not heard it 1000 times by 1000 bands:
nearly perfect in theme and execution, made better by the restraint they show in deploying that earworm of a chorus
misfitsâgood band!

Wu-Tang Forever dude
edit â also: not an album but this Source Direct single is just icy
My bandâs album came out today! Listen on Spotify or Bandcamp or whatever if you like.
A couple of people from here were very kind and backed our Kickstarter, so extra special super thanks to them.
Late to this but I feel you brother
@billy somehow i missed this. great stuff! many things to say about it but one of the first things that stick out is how lush it sounds while still retaining some attack. my favorite song was âi donât feel very well,â but theyâre all quality. excited to see where you all go with this.
Just been going nuts with this album since hearing Brandonâs recommendation on the show.
Itâs like if Kyuss kept going, which is kind of how this band describes themselves on their Bandcamp.
thank you!
Is Thin Lizzy one of the best bands of all time?
top 500
Sounds like someone hasnât listened to enough thin lizzyâŚ.
X is one of my favorite LA punk bands! I like them WAY more than Thin Lizzy. Weird comparison though
Literally as I typed that option I was like âoh I hope no one makes that jokeâ
I like them just fine!
Tough question there @MoH because are we talking Thin Lizzy now or Thin Lizzy in their classic first incarnation? I do like them, but top 200 would be my grouping - even then only the classic line up.
So I canât vote here, Iâm sorry.
Give me a few hours I am going to post a thin lizzy appreciation post that I promise to me a good time, even if it does not sway any personal rankings
doesnât everybody like Thin Lizzy though whatâs controversial
