Only band who comes close are Motorhead & of course Lemmy was a fan of MC5 & Wayne crashed out & visa versa when in town Ok Tony where are you going? Get your ass back in here you missed the last train!. see you att the Grill for breakfastHawkwind & Pink fairies Everyones breakfast joint Oh to be 4o years younger again such good times
I’ve just pissed off the missus by singing along with the song while wearing headphones which you can imagine does no good to my already terrible singing voice but it can’t be helped because the MC5 are/were such a great band who’s music is utterly timeless, this middle aged old Punk rocker can’t avoid loving this band despite the band being longhairs flared wearing Hippie types. Without any shadow of a doubt the MC5 are/were one of the strongest links in the musical chain that came to be known as Punk Rock.
I’m embarrassed to say that I had heard Kick Out the Jams, but didn’t know of MC5. Their sounds and energy is historic and very influential. Why and the fuck are they not in the Rock and Roll Hall if Fame? With only Wayne Kramer still alive they need to inducted and could be welcomed in by Mark Arm and Eddie Vedder
