Jem vs. The Misfits

[CanuckAmok]

Poll question: Jem vs. The Misfits

C'mon, it's no contest.





vs.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

1. The Misfits suck

I saw them live back in the early '80s (yeah, I'm old).

[CanuckAmok]

4. But do they suck as much as Jem?

That's the issue here.

I'm old, too. Saw Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, DOA, Bad Brains, Motorhead, etc, all before '84.

2. If this thread does not get nominated there is no justice

[asthmaticeog]

3. If Jem would cover "Last Caress," I'd vote for them. n/t

[Longgrain]

5. NOOOOO!!!

Don't get me started...

[CanuckAmok]

7. Jem doesn't have a drummer, for one thing.

What kind of rock 'n' roll band doesn't have a drummer?! even Gary Numan has a real drummer.

[Beware the Beast Man]

6. How dare you soil this thread with pics of the "new" Misfits!

I'll vote for them anyway.

[CanuckAmok]

8. okay, just for you:

[tigereye]

14. boy they were "cuter" then than now

:silly:

9. Are we talking Danzig-era or post-Danzig?

Danzig-era Misfits would take it, but post-Danzig Misfits would be obliterated by Jem and the Holograms.

10. Really?

I always thought of Glen as a preening buffoon. I can deal with either incarnation of the Misfits, particularly when the only alternative is Jem.

And, really, what kind of front-man is named "Glen"?

[ghostsofgiants]

16. American Psycho and Famous Monsters were decent albums

But compared to Static Age and Walk Among Us and the like, they don't hold a candle.

Ironically my favourite Misfits song is "Dig Up Her Bones" from American Psycho, haha.

11. Me and my friends are Jem girls.

I used to love that show.

Really, really love that show.

And Rio. :loveya:

Then I'd watch GI Joe. So I wasn't like, totally girly.

12. Dude, the music's contagious. What more can you say?

Jem (Jem is excitement). Ooh Jem (Jem is adventure).
ooh (Glamour and glitter, fashion and fame)

Jem (Jem is Truly Outrageous)
(Truly, Truly, Truly Outrageous)
Woah, Jem (Jem)
The music's contagious (Outrageous)
Jem is my name, no one else is the same
Jem is my name

But we're The Misfits, our songs are better
We are The Misfits (The Misfits), and we're gonna get her.

Jem (Jem) The music's contagious (Outrageous)
Jem is my name, no one else is the same. Jem is my name Jem!

:silly:

[Shananigans]

13. Um...don't forget Barbie and the Rockers...

IDIOTS!

[AntiCoup2K4]

15. The REAL Misfits, of course.

Not the NewShits pictured at the top. (Fuck Michael Grave's idiot Repuke Ass with a dull chainsaw!)

Doyle's touring with Danzig this year, BTW, so you can hear Misfits songs done right for once.

17. How can you go against Jem?
