Danzig's 1988 Rick Rubin-produced self-titled debut is a masterpiece of metal-punk fusion that yielded one of the most wondrously ridiculous metal singles of the '80s, “Mother,” the song where singer Glenn Danzig menacingly threatens a would-be enemy's mom (he's just that much of a badass). Danzig's '90s albums fell victim to some unflattering, ugly nü-metal production, but the band's period releases since (including 2004's Circle of Snakes and last year's Deth Red Sabaoth) have been nice returns to the rowdy and raw sound of the group's unimpeachable debut.
