The U.K. charts have remained more or less untouched by the MC5. However like The New York Dolls and The Stooges, they are cited as an influence by just about any important 1980s band, appear in hundreds of books, and have rave reviews (for example) here on Amazon. I invested my pennies and sent off to Amazon for a copy, thinking I would be stunned by the genius on display. Having listened to the disc about three times, I am sorry to say I really don't like it. I don't mean to insult them, I know they have legions of fans, but the production sounds messy, the songs aren't melodic or distinctive, and the whole thing isn't to my taste at all. What they do have going for them is energy, and apparently they put on darn good live show. But if someone tells you you will like this band if you like punk/Bowie/Iggy, then take it with a pinch of salt. This is probably more for thrash metal people than punks.
