Any fans of this band?
Back....close to 20 years ago (that long? REALLY?!), on the compilation "Punk-O-Rama" that was put out by Epitaph Records, there was a song on there by Wayne Kramer.
I found out later he was a part of the band MC5. Their best known song is "Kick Out The Jams".
I was watching a show on TV that had the song "The American Ruse". It was either "The Mick" or "Detroiters". I'm thinking it's the latter because MC5 was from the Detroit area (Lincoln Park, to be exact).
"The American Ruse" is catchy! So, I downloaded it from iTunes. As well, I caved, and also downloaded "Kick Out The Jams".

Whoaa! When I was a younger version of Joan Jet, Rod Tyner was my manager.
My band played to some of its larger crowds at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit, MI. (At least that's the name that I remember!) It was 1985... John Sinclair & his wife sometimes times would even attend! They both had some pretty wild tales to tell about The Beatles & protesting and the like...
The 80's!!!

Beautiful shredders who made three colossal albums; you think of the energetic kickback in Michigan with all her musical innovations - then you think the Stooges, the Dukes, Alice Cooper, the MC5. I still rank the guitar solo in 'Looking At You' as the greatest string shredder in rock n roll history and they are my number one choice for induction into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. Love 'em to pieces.

THe pop hard rock stuff was OK, but it's the experimental side where the band really shown. Unfortunately, that side is largely ignored by people who talk/write about them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew1UygQs930 |
