When I was younger I thought listening to Danzig was pretty much the most evil thing I could do. I couldn't see any of the tongue in cheek, nudge, nudge, wink, wink element which now being a little older has deepened my appeciation for Danzig, Samhain and the Misfits. Similarly I thought of the Bunnymen as the most mysterious of bands along with The Cure, Joy Division and others. But now that we're all older and with the internet getting us into Mac's daughter's birthday party, a lot of that rock n' roll threat, mystery, etc is pretty much gone.
Any bands you still feel that way about?
