On this day in 1969, MC5 released their debut album “Kick Out the Jams”.
The record has gone on to be considered an important forerunner to the punk movement, making many “Greatest Albums of All Time" lists. In March 2005, Q magazine placed the song "Kick Out the Jams" at number 39 in its "100 Greatest Guitar Tracks" list. The same track was named the 65th best hard rock song of all time by VH1.
