Thompson was the last living member of MC5's original line-up. He was nicknamed “Machine Gun” because of his aggressive drumming

The Dead Kennedys singles collection from 1979 to 1982.

Hardly any band has produced more socially relevant songs than the Dead Kennedys

What is your top single from the band?

For me it’s definitely “Nazi Punks Fuck Off”
