Grand Funk [Capitol, 1969]
This group is getting attention apparently because they play faster than Iron Butterfly, which, I grant, is a start in the right direction. Me, I saw them in Detroit before I knew any of this. I found myself enjoying them for five minutes, tolerating them for fifteen, and hating them for forty-five. This lp, their second, isn't as good as that performance. C-

The Butthole Surfers named their dog "Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad".

Underrated in the proto-metal conversation. Their early stuff was incredibly heavy and sludgy for its time.

Their one album with them in coffins, Born To Die was an unusually melancholy record, with the second track Dues being particularly dark with its sneaky soul groove.
