The Kinks!
An interesting group for the time.

Maybe unique and trailblazer for many of those after them

If I mentioned all those who were influenced by it, I would forget someone, there were so many.

In my opinion they led to the punk rock of a US Proto punk band (I think and if I'm not mistaken, Detroit was a musical gold mine)

I'll post them later too

Blitzkrieg.
(Your avatar.... )

It was 1964
Dave Davies had grown tired of the traditional "clean" guitar style of the time; and set out in search of a more powerful and aggressive sound, which he accidentally found by drilling his Elpico brand amplifier (nicknamed "little green amp"): "I started to get really frustrated with the sound of my amplifier, and I said: I know what to do! I'll pierce you! I took a Gillette razor blade and cut... (from the center upwards) the amplifier... so it was all cut but still functional, still intact. I tried to play and the sound that came out seemed fantastic! "

The particular sound of the perforated amplifier was replicated in the recording studio

Mc5 performed amazingly live.

This is from 1967.

Then I'll put on one of the MC5 and tell me how far ahead they were compared to the whole rock world of the moment.

We consider that the new Woodstock concert seemed to be involuntary compared to their sound.

Which was even faster, and irreverent for those years.

MC5 , there was nothing like it in that musical era.

And that period even just before that was among my passions.

Can you be ahead of everyone and innovate?

MC5 succeeded, one of the members died, he inspired at least two songs by Patty Smith, I think he was her husband (he died early)

They were born at the end of 1964 in Lincoln Park, Michigan

Their style influenced, I think, everyone who published afterward.

they are already starting to experiment with the use of feedback and distortions. Their style, which relies on Rob Tyner's voice and the interplay between Wayne Kramer's lead guitar and Fred "Sonic" Smith's rhythm guitar, initially fails to leave the confines of Detroit, but attracts the attention of the protopunk avant-garde. The turning point album, recorded live due to the MC5's inability to bring their energy into the studio, Kick Out the Jams, recorded for Elektra Records, therefore sold few copies, but became one of the most important of the time and is considered one of the cornerstones of the entire punk genre.

Here Johnny and Edgar Winter pay homage to the Rolling Stones with Jumpin'n Jack Flash played on BBC 4 in a sublime way.

Excellent audio and video from the Historic BBC.

Stevie Wonder enjoys playing the drums.

Italian TV, 1970.

Guitar: Alberto Radius

Brilliant Wonder.
Many of his albums were in my record collection that I sold to a passionate person, along with very rare Led Zeppelin songs.
