An oldie, but a goldie.

I never thought, I would say this.

I wish, I could be back in the 70's

I thought Bad Time and Closer to Home were their great songs. There are some old timers at the farmer's market that do a great version of the later.

By the way, they got their name from the Grand Trunk Western Railroad that goes right through their hometown of Flint, Michigan.

Really a very fun song to play on stage. I’ve had the pleasure probably a 100 or so times... Doesn’t get old.

I got that record from my aunt when I was around 10 years old. The record was a yellow color instead of the usual black.

"I wish, I could be back in the 70's ..."

Had some of the best music - without a doubt!

I always pick the '70's Music' category when playing Name-That-Tune.

I consistently kick all opponents' butts when playing that!

“I wish, I could be back in the 70’s”

Count me in. Most fun ever, especially the music.

Great band. Footstompin Music is my personal fave song. It’s a crime the arent in the rock and roll HOF.

Great one fer shur, but my GFR favorite has always been "Inside Looking Out"

[Radix]

I saw them in concert once. I was quite disappointed, though I had their albums and played them quite a bit.

I grew up during the 1970s and little did I know that I was among the last generation of kids to grow up completely free.

Just a few years after this photograph was taken, helicopter parents would force helmets on these kids and keep them indoors most of the time other than taking them to heavily supervised organized activities in their mini-vans.

And now those same parents lament that they have 30-something year old grown kids still living at home and mostly unable to function in adult society.

“Sweet Sweet Connie” banged ExPres42. Then again, who in Little Rock didn’t.

[Clemenza]

Bad Time was recorded two years before I was born - I was actually introduced to it when I saw Axl Rose sing it’s intro before going into “Sweet Child of Mine” in concert. Nevertheless, it is a song I never get sick of.

We’re an Accoridan Band.

It was already starting in the 70’s. Those bikes all have front brakes and reflectors, my late 60’s version had no reflectors and coaster brakes only unless it was a 5 speed.

I loved GFR when I was a college student. I played the bass for my rock band, and I enjoyed Mel Schacher's work.

Why did I like GFR so much? Because they were LOUD. :-)

[COBOL2Java]

I think my favorite was the Red Album

Grand Funk Railroad is the Gateway Pundit of rock.
