Album Notes Grand Funk Railroad: Mel Schacher, Craig Frost, Don Brewer, Mark Farner, Dennis Bellinger. Recording information: 1969 - 1975. This 14-track Grand Funk Railroad hits collection, released in 2006, does solid justice to the Michigan boogie-rock legends. While certainly not the most cerebral band in the annals of rock, Grand Funk possessed a sweaty, caveman grandeur that remains difficult to fully dismiss. We're talking about a band that rocked so hard they needed to wear headbands--surely they deserve at least a little of our respect. Among the collection's tracks are all of Grand Funk's radio hits, including "Heartbreaker," "The Loco Motion," "Mean Mistreater," and "We're An American Band." While Grand Funk received little to no love from the rock cognoscenti of the 1970s, their mildly head-banging jams and good-times vibe have made them a beloved staple of classic rock radio decades after hitting the scene. [Note: The package also contains a bonus DVD packed with killer live footage.]
