MC5 - Kick Out The Jams
Another of those bands I've only ever known by their music - and had never seen footage of until recently. MC5's place in rock history is assured, if a trifle under appreciated. The closest rock has to soldiers of freedom, MC5 pioneered heavy-riffing, space-rocking, politically-sneering, attitude-laced, proto-punk alongside The Stooges. Unlike The Stooges, their LP history never really did the band justice, despite a couple of studio albums, the band will best be remembered for the live Kick Out The Jams album.
We'll gloss over the whole rebirth of the band's anarchistic persona as a trendy T-Shirt logo, and instead enjoy some true Rock theatre as the band grind out their classic track Kick Out The Jams on Beat Club. A superb clip and something I've wanted to see for a long time. One of history's truly great bands strutting their stuff.
