Let’s go back in time……

No AI, no loops, no autotune, not a computer chip in sight. Just straight forward rock ‘n’ roll. We pulled this out the other night at rehearsal. Drummer bought a new cowbell and this was the first song that came to mind. We managed to pull off the double harmony intro into the solo.
My God it felt good.

Awesome tune.

I just remember when Grand Funk hit, they were everything. At the time, I was a “little brother.”Whatever big brother was listening to, I was listening to.

We had all their albums that Live album was awesome. T.N.U.C.

Hell yes! I love GFR.
They kill this Stones tune.

Huge in the 60's-70's. As real as it gets!

There is a special quality to songs that didn't have a click track, but did have a good drummer. The pocket ebbs and flows adding a lot more dimensionality.

It swings.

Mark Farner is a Northern Michigan guy- lives a couple hours north of where I live. Seems like a nice guy based on interviews but also a little whacky.
Never really got into the band personally.

Lots of bands still eschew digital crap. I very rarely use any digital gear except once in a great while plugging into my laptop.
Mostly I tend to think digital gear is gay- sounds good but is gay and generic sounding.

I do miss the old days. America kind of sucks now. I miss the long hairs, the partiers, the rabble rousers and anti-establishments types, the punk rockers etc. This place is depressing now . A real sh!thole. lol

My Dad turned me onto these guys (in their prime they were a bit before my time), they were great!!

Now make a list of all the Rock bands making music in 1973. Just band after band of top notch Rock music. SO many not only good but GREAT albums during that time and this was AFTER the Beatles split up. We were lucky to have been around then.

Check out THIS 1973 album list:

1973: The Year in 50 Classic Rock Albums - Best Classic Bands

We looked back at 100s of classic rock albums released in 1973 and somehow whittled the list down to the 50 we think stand the test of time.
