I have pretty much similar feelings. I have the box set with the coffin containing the "classic" stuff, but sadly, it lacks "In the Doorway", which is a really good song. "Hybrid Moments" is one of my very favorite classic Misfits songs. Of course there are all the famous songs like "Attitude", "Last Caress" and "Die Die My Darling", but the fact that some really good covers of those songs have been done in recent years exposes how limited their recording equipment was back in 1980, and kind of makes them sound weak. I would love to hear those songs re-recorded.
That's one of the things that makes newer Misfits stuff sound as good as it does, the newer recording technology. I bought "Famous Monsters" first but "American Psycho" does have more good songs. "The Haunting" is by far my favorite new Misfits song. I just love that line, "Cut my wrists and watch me bleed"... The demo version of it has different lyrics but is just as good a song. You know Vampiro used "Kong at the Gates" as his theme music for a while?
But yeah they have so much good stuff that my favorites rotate rather frequently, there are a few that stand out at the top of my list. You hear "Day the Earth Caught Fire" yet?
