The MC5 and Iggy & The Stooges were both signed to Elektra Records in 1968. The two bands were contemporaries, the MC5 hardly being "punk long before Iggy Po (Pop)". Though you may have just recently learned of The MC5 tyray, they are a very well known band. I don't think of them as a Punk band, but what's in a name?
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!
