MC5 “Kick Out the Jams” (“motherfuckers”)   1969 Elektra Records   Vocals, Rob Tyner; Guitarists Wayne Kramer and Fred “Sonic” Smith (Later Mr. Patti Smith); Michael Fraser on vocals/bass and Grant Palmer on drums.

Radical and revolutionary. in the late sixties MC5 was banging out hard punk jams that meshed out jazz, political anger and garage band rock.   MC5 was signed to Elektra in 1969 along with fellow motor city madmen The Stooges.

Stupefaction hips us to this site of MC5 drummer Dennis “Machinegun” Thompson.   Check it out.

    Michael Davis played bass and Dennis Thompson played drums. By the way, I’ve been visiting your site for years, it’s one of my favorites.

    When this album first came out, there was a LOT of critcism about it’s language, so ELEKTRA was forced to re-issue it somewhat censored. First-editions are hard to come by.
