cookieman15061 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Man if you were alive during the early 70s these guys ruled the am radio. This song is relentless and kicks some serious behind. [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickman Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I was alive back in the early 70's. Just a young kid but I remember "some kind of wonderful" on the radio day and night. "The Locomotion" was another and then "we're an american band". Nothing holds a candle to it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanvillRob Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I used to listen to Grand Funk when I was in the Army stationed in Chambersburg, PA. I was surprised to read some album cover notes where Grand Funk named my old band as one of their inspirations! (Peter Wheat & The Breadmen). To my knowledge, I never met any of the group, and there was no connection that I could think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailjunkie Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Awesome band...best thing to come out of Flint, MI ever! Back in '75 Farner played a Gibson L5S...I've been obsessed with them ever since (unfortunately, if you can find one...they are, like, $4,000.00)....

tazzboy Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 American Band was good. But Locomotion was a not so good in opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnate McDuanus Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Grand Funk Railroad always gets me. They just make me feel special, you know? Like the world doesn't suck--probably just because they exist, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65 Casino Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I can still hear my Panasonic 8 Track with the 125wt. Jensens blaring these tunes out while I washed that '71 Caprice on a hot Saturday afternoon, knowing what was gonna happen on that hot Saturday night... The Caprice was Dad's but the rest was all mine! Great memories and many thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
