If you don't like MC5. You don't like rock n roll. That simple.

Nicke Andersson of the Hellacopters. Great band from Sweden.

Wayne is a sweetheart ... so was Fred ... drugs fuck up so many peoples dreams, if only they could see it before they get going - imagine what the 5 might have been?

MC5 were pioneers!

@whitemanik1 There's no such things as 'the best bands'.

What's more, given that all musicians, great or not great, are human and fallible, of course some will sign to big companies. That may ruin them, it may not.

YOU WILL NEVER FIND THE BEST BANDS THROUGH THE BIG RECORD COMPANIES AND MYSPACE ADVERTISEMENTS...THE BEST BANDS NEVER COMPROMISE THEIR MUSIC. LONG LIVE THE MC5!

They gave birth to Hard Rock. It's just that much about it.

These guys are part of history.

@Substantive64 Read Huey P. Newton. The guy who started the damn thing. We could trade lists all day and get nowhere. A lot of negative shit happened because of cynicism and complacency and a system that is based on fear as opposed to love, but we are overdue a revolution and one will eventually come. My recommendation, read 'Ordinary Person's guide to Empire' by Arundhati Roy. I honestly wish you peace and all the best. Freedom is never a word to take lightly, do you have it under capitalism?

Just read any of David Horowitz's writings, in "Radical Son" and "Destructive geberation" among others. He knew them up close. Read about Betty Van Patter.
