>>Grand Funk Railroad.<<
I wish I could have found the live version in a quick YT search. GFR was always controversial and the critics hated them, despite the fact they actually led the charts for quite a few years.
Of course, they started downhill when they picked up Craig and went in a pop direction. But I was listening to some of their early stuff and the grit is palpable. They put the Rock in Rock’nRoll.
As with so many things, these things are in the eye (ear) of the beholder (except for me, of course — my opinions, when disagreed with by some people, are just “wrong.”)
I seem to recall a while ago when there was a “greatest guitarist” list somewhere — I knew it couldn’t be any good because Mark Farner wasn’t on it (nor, IIRC, was Robin Trower ;) )
Thanks, FRiend. :)
No Robin Trower????
I demand a recount! LOL
Seriously, I can't believe that Robin would be left off a list of greatest guitarists. He may not be the most famous guitarist out there, but along with Mr. Hendrix, he pretty much wrote the book on searing, blues-based, hard rock guitar.
