    Default Detroit Hard Rock.

    Been diggin' it recently. Problem is, I've only been able to come up with four bands: The Stooges, the MC5, the Grand Funk Railroad (who are good, but they're really more 70's style hard rock than what I'm looking for) and Frijid Pink (and the only song I've heard them do is their cover of House of the Rising Sun. So, does anyone know of any of the other Detroit bands who made it?

    They invented modern rock in Motor City.

    Seriously, look up the Stooges and the MC5. Two of the biggest influences on Punk rock; and the Stooges continue to be a notable influence today.

    Check Frijid Pink Myspace. It has 4 songs on it.

    And Stooges, well yeah if you don't know about them, you really are missing something.

    Anyway these guys are more 70's punk. But they are from the place and they even have toured together with MC5. And are influenced by both them and the stooges. Remains punk though, but I like them.

    Anyway you might want to check the following out:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_rock#Rock_and_roll

    especially check the bands form 1968 onwards. After the disillusion of the then considered naïve Flower Power movement.

    I've lived about 20 minutes away from the murder capital for about 3 years and I should probably know some good bands, but I don't. I'm glad you are enjoying them though. Just don't ever visit the actual city.

    Alice Cooper? Kid Rock?
    "I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."
