In real time, I noticed a small but noticeable decrease in musicality from, say, Cream to Zep, and by the time Grand Funk came out of the musical rectum, the kids were NOT all right, the kids were more than willing to swallow that turd whole, over and over again. I moved on with no regrets - and with no hesitancy. One of the better life choices I've made (not that there were all that many...). Far worse bands came along after GFR. You dodged a bullet. Foreigner springs to mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually enjoy their Terry Knight-produced stuff. Mind you, I'm not saying it's good, but it hits a spot for me. Don Brewer singing killed the deal for me, as did the open misogyny of "We're An American Band". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, good to know. But what make is that guitar on the cover? Its headstock doesn't look Gibsonesque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a huge influence within his realm. Oh, I see it's I think a Gibson Super 400. The ultra archtop and the biggest one of them. That is from the prehistory of Gibson, when they were making mostly archtops, that is jazz guitars, and the headstock was maybe still not as highly developed as further on when they became instantly recognizable. And thanks for the answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I imagine some may be quasi-functioning labels, while others are merely legacy imprints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Elvis half-ass tried to right some of his wrongs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
