Here’s two bands that I’m very thankful for, though I don’t even know where I’d begin making a decision on this one…two of the most influential rock’n'roll bands to ever come out of Michigan, maybe two of the most important 60s American bands of all time. Legendary groups, legendary sounds but pound for pound…who would come out on top? The Stooges or The MC5? Let me know what you think!

Here’s some clips of both bands in their prime to help you decide.

The Stooges – “TV Eye & “1970”

The MC5 – “Kick Out The Jams”

Really solid show this past week under duress…I suffer a nasty paper cut opening mail just as the show started, but I was able to soldier on and bring you new music from James Pants (the package that caused the cut), LCD Soundsystem, Dam-Funk, Gossip, Blakroc (Black Keys + Mos Def, more on that soon), and brand new music from Tindersticks who look to release a new record in early 2010. Also some choice older cuts from Rahsaan Roland Kirk to lead off, Little Sister, Gal Costa and the Italian version of “Space Oddity” by Daivd Bowie, a radically different song lyrically “Ragazzo Solo, Ragazzo Sola” roughly “Lonely Boy, Lonely Girl.” Playlist will be up soon enough, and this one will be on demand until next week…
