The critics hated the fuck out of GFR back in the day, but they're all gone and Mark Farner is still here, so fuck those guys. He also still has it.

Led Zeppelin made better albums, but for a lot of people these guys were the embodiment of rock-and-roll during the Nixon years.

Grand Funk [Capitol, 1969]

This group is attracting attention apparently because they play faster than Iron Butterfly. Which is a start in the right direction, I suppose. I saw them live in Detroit before I knew any of this. I found myself enjoying them for 10 minutes, tolerating them for 15, and hating them for 45. This lp, their second, isn't as good as that performance. C-

Closer to Home [Capitol, 1970]

What's happening to me? Maybe it's that damned billboard. Or maybe I'm beginning to appreciate--I said appreciate--their straight-ahead celebration of beat, amplification, and youthful camaraderie. After all, rock and roll has always been loud, and its rhythms have always been described as "heavy." And at least Mark Farner doesn't pretend to bluesmanship. C+

Live Album [Capitol, 1970]

They have a great--even a grand--audience. But a great audience and a great live album aren't the same thing at all. C-

Survivor [Capitol, 1971]

Those who criticize this band miss the point--they Americanize Led Zeppelin with a fervent ingenuity and energy. But now, I've heard similar men of taste coming to the same conclusion who claim to actually like the stuff. That's going too far. C

E Pluribus Funk [Capitol, 1971]

The usual competent loud rock with the usual paucity of drive and detail. Not without its charms--I actually feel touched by "People, Let's Stop The War". But it doesn't tell me anything I don't already know. C+

Phoenix [Capitol, 1972]

I guess I turn in my Free Grand Funk button, because I think this declaration of independence from the dastardly Terry Knight continues their two-year decline. Especially annoying is Mark Farner's singing, which combines the worst of Jack Bruce with the worst of Eddie Fisher, but the music--including Craig Frost's organ--isn't what you'd call dynamic. Sorry, really, but . . . C-

I know what you mean. I think that those high pitched sugary vocals grows on you. Well it certainly growed on me. What is your favourite and least favourite track on Product?

You can love them or hate them, but you cannot deny that they changed EVERYTHING.

They're like a modern day Jimi Hendrix Experience tobh family

But Johnny Cash's original is better

He did most of the covers better, others are just as good as each other

Wiped the floor with these though

Holyshit you are a true FREAK

Yes to the point that it's cliche. The shy kid at school always listened to metal, he never listened to folk.

No, those lists are great for starting discussion, but it's impossible to rank guitarists from wildly differing genres/ areas of expertise.

eg who's better:
Joe Pass or Marty Friedman?
or
Hendrix or Julian Bream?
or
Chet Atkins or Tosin Abasi?
or
EVH or Doc Watson?

>>70778949
Yes there can be. It's Hendrix by a long shot.

Steve Reich music for 18 musicians

>tfw can't whistle

Jesus it sucks so much

It's not terrible but they're capable of so much better it's absurd. I actually like The Hunter but it really was the beginning of the end for them

Just awful, post-CTS Mastodon is a pathetic shadow of its former self
