I still like 'em. They still hold the record for the biggest selling concert, previously held by the Beatles.

Nothing wrong with a little Grand Funk, those guys have a solid catalogue of quality songs!

[QUOTE]Originally posted by crazed: I think there used to be a state law that Grand Funk had to be in every car 8-track player. Just try requesting the James Gang while being driven somewhere in the car of a Funkhead. It meant walking home or saying you were only kidding. I did enjoy their sound, especially "Shinin' On" but I wasn't kidding about hearing something different! [/thanks!] I had forgotten how good the James Gang was until I read your post. I think I listned to "Funk 49" until I wore that 8 track out. What great guitar riffs! I am now out looking for the CD.
Boy, you got to carry that weight a long time!

Re Grand Funk, I was a GF nut as a teenager, bought every album up to and including "Survival". Now I only own the Red Album, but it's one of my Desert Island Discs.
