http://www.vinylalbum.com A lot of people forget how influential the Motor City 5 actually were to today's metal/hard rock/punk/garage "scene". My momma went to school with these boys and was also almost trampled at one of their shows in the small suburban Detroit town of Riverview Michigan.
The MC5 was an American rock band formed in Lincoln Park, Michigan in 1964 and active until 1972. They played hard rock music that also included blues-rock, psychedelic rock, rock & roll and garage rock. "Crystallizing the counterculture movement at its most volatile and threatening", their political ties and anti-establishment lyrics and music would serve as a prototype for later punk rock musicians. The band consisted of Wayne Kramer and Fred "Sonic" Smith (guitars) Michael Davis (bass), Rob Tyner (vocals), and Dennis Thompson (drums).
