I've been getting into The Misfits as of late, but I'm disappointed in the lack of well-recorded music. Anyways, it's still great and I'd love to listen to similar bands with the same aggressive play-style and (this is a long shot) vocals that are at least remotely as good as Glenn Danzig's. The songs I've liked the most so far:
Hybrid Moments
Astro Zombies
Night of The Living Dead
Hatebreeder
20 Eyes
I Turned Into a Martian
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

For other bands within the range of hardcore/punk, but not necessarily like The Misfits:
Black Flag
TSOL
Rancid
Operation Ivy
Suicidal Tendencies
Propagandhi
Pretty well known names.
If you're looking for a band in a similar genre, there's the Horrorpops, but it has a female vocalist. I don't really know what you mean by Danzig having a great voice.
Dead Kennedys
Bad Religion
Anti-Flag
Rancid
The Vandals
Descendents
Have you ever checked out last.fm and their similar artist playlist?

Fugazi
(I think Ian is better than Glen)
Also look at Bad Brains
I am not so in to punk anymore, but I still regularly listen to those three bands.
Not so much punk, but I always recommend the Melvins. Check out Bullhead, I love all of their records, but I always recommend Bullhead first.

In certain songs he sounds eerily similar to Kermit the Frog. Regardless most of the stuff here is solid. I particularly
There was a cover project made dedicated to the Misfits. I think it goes by the title "Violent World" a bunch of punk/horrorpunk bands. It will at least shed some light on other things.
As for Danzig like stuff you can check out Danzig the band or the other one..Samhein, I think? More metally, but still.
And then there was one DAvey Havok project with some of the guys from samhein. Title is Son of Sam.
It's good music if you do not hate havok, and the music sounds misfitsy
I highly recommend you check out (in order of my preference)
The Descendents
Dead Kennedys
Bad Religion
Black Flag
Minor Threat
Rancid
7 Seconds
And for more of the same Misfits, check out their recent project

I mean he's a fucking great singer.
You might like Social Distortion's early stuff. Most similar thing I can think of to the Misfits at the moment. Check out the Cramps too.
Keep in mind that this stuff does NOT have Danzig doing vocals. All of the songs listed in the OP are from when Danzig was in the band.
Balzac is a band you would probably like to check out.
I host a podcast about movies.
Fixed that for you. I almost recommended them but the OP said he wanted bands which are similar in sound and not necessarily subject matter.
For one thing, the tiger army never dies.

Also the Dwarves. The dwarves sound nothing like the Missfits but just listen to them anyway because I said so.

The Vandals, while unaccountably awesome, sound absolutely nothing like Misfits

stuff like minor threat:

circle jerks
cro-mags
give up the ghost/american nightmare
They're not very good, and not like what the OP was after.
Wow, did you even read his post? He said he wanted stylistically similar music. The Misfits basically just started doing what the Ramones were already doing except they sang about horror and sci-fi movies. The Ramones were also way tighter. As far as vocals go Joey was an incredible singer. While he doesn't necessarily sound like Danzig, both of them do what they do well. The Ramones, in my opinion are much more like what he was after than most of those other replies. Type O Negative? What?
