I have a Misfits hoodie that I still wear all the time. :P

They've been one of my favorite bands since I first heard them. I'm probably one of the few fans of their that enjoys everything under the Misfits name, instead of just Danzig stuff, since I got into them originally through famous Monsters and American Psycho. I actually heard those 2 CDs before I worked my way backwards through their earlier stuff. I even enjoy the newer stuff like the album of 1950's covers where the only remaining member is Jerry Only. ><

As far as how influential they are...I mean of course they are influenced a ton of bands and covers as well, as people have mentioned. Maybe not quite as much as you'd expect just from looking around and "seeing all the skulls" I suppose, but I'd say almost. /shrug
