    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    great thread.

    And for this matter I estimate 78% of songs, albums or groups with "Funk" in the title were neither funk nor funky.

    I learned this before I bought my first portable.

    they have 2 good songs, "Sins a Good Mans Brother" and their cover of the Animals "Inside Lookin Out" is cool...but yeah, for the most part...terds


    P.S. 45s is finally on the way

    What? How can you down The wild, shirtless lyrics of Mark Farner? The bong-rattling bass of Mel Shocker? The competent drumwork of Don Brewer?

    I know. . my post probably came off wrong. I'm laughing because I think they suck ass as well. It would seem to take alot of balls to name your group "Grand Funk" when your a catshit rock group. "Funk Inc." on the other hand...

    ...and the late-blooming keyboards of Craig Frost!

    Yes, Grand Funk + a stick =



    On another note, could Funk Inc. reign supreme as the greatest group with "funk" in their name?

    Honestly I don't know if I've ever heard any other GF songs. I wouldn't be suprised if they did have a good song or two. I mean (for lack of a better example) Al Hirt has a good song. But, my coworker's iTunes was just bumpin American Band and it really hit me making me realize what a bullshit song it actaully is.

    Probably Funkadelic. Though Funk Inc is criminally slept on methinks.

    I'll admit to liking Grand Funk, but their albums could be really spotty - We're An American Band was the best one, song for song. Includes "Black Licorice," which really does sound like their attempt to sound like Iggy & the Stooges!

    hell yes. "Limousine Driver" rules! and On Time is a great record as well. haven't heard any other of their records except for the one Frank Zappa is on/produced or whatever wich i agree, sucks.

    I don't know when Jesus came into the picture, but Farner and drummer Don Brewer did reform with a different bass player for a couple of albums on the Full Moon label in the early eighties (famous for Dan Fogelberg).
