    The originality - the expressiveness - the powerful vocals - the manic drumming - thundering bass - the guitar mastery - they etched their way into Rock history ..... Justin Bieber -- are you kidding me ?

      I know, it's sickening. GFR had more talent than all hip-hop and rap together. Janet Jackson is in the Rock Hall of Fame. Who's next, Pit Bull? WTF??

      Thank God I grew up listening to this great band and other wonderful artists in the 70`s and going to many concerts such as Fleetwood Mac opening for the Eagles , Chicago,Van Halen, Robin Trower, Boston, Aerosmith, Bad Company, Black Sabbath,UFO, Pat Benatar, Yes, Def Lepperd and others. For me the 70`s will always be my most favorite decade of rock music.

      It’d been a more real world, if the present and more recent clowns hadn’t shown up with their disposable nonsense, as opposed to the indispensables, like Grand Funk.

I listen Grand Funk Railroad since I was 7 years old and for sure Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple... etc., all these bands guided me to a better life, full of rock, power and emotions.
    I say thanks to all of them, from the most inside of my heart!

Unleashed genius you had to stop, sit and focus all your attention on, surrendering to the power flowing from the speakers, the night filled with it, as compelling as classical program music, changing our sense of time...
    We were marked, changed by what came into the world's shared consciousness, through the souls of so many musicians. How fortunate we were who grew up during the sixties and seventies.
