The fact that the fucking MC5 hasn't generated a single comment, makes me sad for music.....The MC5 is rock, mutherfuckers!!!!!

The MC5 were great. Shitty produced but they were a terrific band

That's because everybody here is a pussy. They love their shitty 80's spandex hair bands and pussy Led Zeppelin nonsense to notice a true band.

[78/84 guy]

Cool band. Like the live stuff. Way ahead of their time.

Always dug the Motor City Five!

"Kick out the Jams", "Back in the USA", and (above all) "High Time"...

MC5 and the STOOGES rule - all the "punks" who came after were just "posturers" in comparison.
I remember I opened a STOOGES thread a few years ago, where I think I said the same.

I saw DKT - that is a kind of "MC3", that is the Five minus Tyner and Smith - in 2006 here in Savoy.
The Revolution thing was long gone, but it was great to see them play those glorious songs.

The "Kick out the Jams" riff was the most plundered one by the 1976-onward punk bands. :rolleyes:

I am what I eat. Now, fuck off.
