Mojo,
For once, I'm suspending the hatin' - but just this once.
There are plenty of just-plain-myopic oversights, snubs and other affrontery when it comes to who's been ignored, but that the MC5 is still unrecognized by the Jann Wenner Circle Jerk of Fame is outrageous...and borderline criminal.
Any TRUE rock fans left should storm Cleveland w/ pikes and molotovs galore...the 5 would have wanted it that way ;)

Too right. There is no underestimating the influence the MC5 had on what followed, and they deserve to be in on that basis alone. They deserve to be in because Lester Bangs loved them, and that should be all the credential anyone needs. And they deserve to be in because "Kick Out the Jams" is as close to perfect as rock'n'roll gets.
