Well, I think with the creation of an entire sub-genre, they proved themselves prolific and influential. Why else is it so chic these days to cover a Misfits song? It is true, though. Danzig was definitely the driving force. They had a few good tunes with Michael Graves, but nothing that really touches "Bullet" or "Last Caress" or "Hollywood Babylon" or "Skulls". Their sound was a little too polished at that point, in my opinion. And now, with Jerry Only being the primary vocalist, its painful to listen to. The dude's pretty tone-deaf.
