The Finest Band

Review Score: (10/10)
We all have our favorite bands, Beatles, Deep purple, James gang, 80'd music and 90's music. We have my beloved Grateful Dead, and the Moody Blues. So many bands, so much music, our lives are permeated with it.

But no band in history stood up and slapped you sillier than Grand Funk Railroad. There was no thrill like setting 5 rows back and having Mel's bass go right through you on its sonic trip to oblivion. No thrill like watching Mark's lead guitar frenzies and the words he sang. At one time GFR was the loudest band on earth.

Grand Funk Railroad in its later years fought against drug use amongst teens, started the Pheonix House in NYC, did free concerts to advertise not living on drugs, donated monies to rehabs and in general cared about every person that came into contact with them, either through the music or their "ministry" against drugs.

Get one of their live CD's, turn it up very loud, until the wife screams, back it off just a touch and let the 70's come home.

Come on, ride the railroad one more time. Love the music.

(In case you think I am predjudiced, I come from a very small town outside Flint Michigan. I seen GFR before they were famous, when part of them was the Pack. Heck yes I am!)
