Hunter Thompson once said that music to him was fuel...that with the right kind of music blaring at top volume, you maybe could get 30 extra miles out of a tank of gas. THIS is what he was talking about.
One of my favorite America bands. At their best they could blow the Stones off the f'n stage, but they never made the perfect record, so (perhaps) they don't get the credit due to them. Even this great song is marred by the stupid ending. Otherwise it rocks!
@Beetlehair Stupid ending? Perhaps if you understood more about the band you'd think otherwise... anyway, I don't think it has a stupid ending. And their perfect album is called "High Time".
@matlan57 That's right... and it seems our friend here doesn't know the record which this music is from. He said they never made the "perfect record", but "High Time" is their perfect record. All songs are amazing... it's one of my fav records ever.
@LouieGee A lot of people don't know, but Bob Seger did some of the background vocals on this album,
as well as Skip Knappe, who was in Teegarden and Vanwinkle, and a lot of respected local muscians contributed.. I also really like "Baby won't ya" and "Over and Over" from this under-appreciated album.
Good to see people acknowledge Michael Davis' passing. For us rebellious young punks growing up in Detroit back in the day, the MC5 were our Beatles.

Don't ask me why, but after 40 years, the music of the MC5 still kicks me in the gut.

@LouieGee i agree, the marching band music at the end was ironic,
even those that didn't like it should give them credit for taking chances,
being innovative
