Grand Funk Railroad - Heartbreaker

[@nrich5127]

The originality - the expressiveness - the powerful vocals - the manic drumming - thundering bass - the guitar mastery - they etched their way into Rock history ..... Justin Bieber -- are you kidding me ?

[@cathyr2419]

I know, it's sickening. GFR had more talent than all hip-hop and rap together. Janet Jackson is in the Rock Hall of Fame. Who's next, Pit Bull? WTF??

[@kimblecarter1096]

Thank God I grew up listening to this great band and other wonderful artists in the 70`s and going to many concerts such as Fleetwood Mac opening for the Eagles , Chicago,Van Halen, Robin Trower, Boston, Aerosmith, Bad Company, Black Sabbath,UFO, Pat Benatar, Yes, Def Lepperd and others. For me the 70`s will always be my most favorite decade of rock music.
