MC5 Inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

The pioneering protopunk band receives recognition posthumously for its enduring influence on rock music.

The MC5, known for their early punk rock sound, are being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year.
Despite limited commercial success, the band is celebrated for its significant influence on later punk and rock bands.
Induction comes shortly after the deaths of original members Dennis Thompson and Wayne Kramer.
A new MC5 album, 'Heavy Lifting,' featuring contributions from notable musicians, is being released this month.
Wayne Kramer, a co-founder, was also known for his work with Jail Guitar Doors U.S.A., a nonprofit supporting inmates through music.
