OK kids, it�s rockin� time! Detroit�s MC5 kicked off the �70s with a bang on Back In The USA, released January 15, 1970. A roadmap for punk�s class of �77, the album condensed the epic, throbbing sprawl of Kick Out The Jams into the pure essence of rock & roll: machine gun blasts of pure energy and hooks, with nods to the founding fathers (Chuck Berry and Little Richard) and freshly-minted teen anthems for the ages (�Shakin� Street,� �High School,� �Tonight,� �Teenage Lust,� etc., etc.).
