Go and listen to all three records by The MC 5! You won't be sorry.

(And why aren't these records talked about more often?)

unfortunately, always overshadowed by the Stooges. DC's Ian Sevonius of The Make-Up and Nation of Ulysses was influenced by them in the 80's, along with a couple of other punk bands whose names i can't quite recall, but it's hard to find a band trying to combine so many styles in one sound these days.

Hell yeah. One of my favorite pieces of footage from some documentary.

Note the traffic going by behind them.

Also their second album had some good originals but some lame covers. And the sound was extremely tinny, no bottom. I think they lost a lot of momentum. The followup album was much better.
