MC5

MC5 was a hard rock band popular in the sixties. Their debut album was a hit. Although they failed to have any further success, their second and third albums were labeled as two of the greatest of all time by Rolling Stone Magazine. The group is considered to have made a major influence on the development of punk. Their song Kick Out the Jams has been heavily covered, including by the group Blue Öyster Cult. The group has been nominated for the actual Hall of Fame, but not inducted. The name originally stood for Motor City Five, from their Detroit origins. Kick Out the Jams is noted for its intro "Kick out the jams, motherfuckers!". For the radio version, this was censored to "Kick out the jams, brothers and sisters!".
