MC5 - Kick Out The Jams
Every bad support act you have ever stood through can trace a direct lineage back to the MC5. Every time you hear yet another band with a shitty PA who try to impress you with their passion, because they can't with their music, that's the fault of the MC5. 40 years of bands sounding absolutely identical. What a great legacy.
There's a reason that Kick Out The Jams is an enduring classic, and 95% of that reason is the intro. Nobody went on record in 1969 shouting, "And now it's time to kick out the jams, motherfuckers." Frankly, after that the band could have played any old shit and got away with it. Bet you're glad they didn't, though.
