If you think that Fred "Sonic" Smith and Wayne Kramer are on the list solely for Kick Out The Jams, you really need to listen to the rest of their work, both the other 2 MC5 albums and their post-MC5 work. Both have done fantastic work in the post-MC5 days. RS referred to Fred's main post-MC5 band, Sonic's Rendezvous Band, as "The best band you've never heard of." I've heard of them and their work stands up against the best any other band has done. Wayne has put out several outstanding albums over the last 10 years. I do agree with you on Kurt Cobain.
