"Kick Out the Jams" is the kind of stuff I was really into back then. That and the Litter's (Minneapolis) "Emerge". I loved being "assaulted" by the music and there were actually very few bands who did that. There was a band called Wire from Wisconsin, too.

I have mellowed out a bit, through the years, but I still get these albums out once-in-a-while because I still like them.

And now, Dennis Thompson (drums) is the only one left of the MC5.

RIP

Oh man. One of the original badass rock and roll guitarists.

Now he & Fred Sonic Smith can do some jamming.....kick 'em out of the pearly gates, mother****s!!

I just want to mention that a favorite MC5 track of mine has always been "Shakin' Street" from Back In the USA on which Fred Smith sings lead.
