Good folks, I had never even heard of this band before. They were
out of Detroit and became a ’group’ in 1964. The group was is called MC5. Check out their tune ’Motor cities burning’ and others on you tube. They were punk long before the Ramones and Iggy Po who also is from Detroit. It must be a Midwest thang.
Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)?
When I consider my priorities for this category, I cannot come up with any other than CCR.
Their output as a band was short compared to others, yes..
When I say America's greatest rock & roll band, this = the output or even the basis on which a band formed, had in their DNA, America's roots! It doesn't even matter that we now know CCR formed in California, their DNA as a band transformed their birthplace but it more importantly brought forth the (soul) of get down and dirty) Rock & Roll in it's raw form!
HELL YEAH!
