Anyone else like Grand Funk Railroad?

Grand Funk Railroad - We're An American Band / I'm Your Captain

Three Dog Night - One / Joy To the World / Mama Told Me Not to Come

Dear Anthem,
I like the GF Railroad, used to play them a lot. And 3 Dog Night, was a real favorite, was blessed to hear them live once.
I used to play that music a LOT, but not so much any more.
Those are Favorites, but I guess they sound dated to me now.
Happy listening,
Wayne

Hi and welcome kjhkjh123,
NOW that is a great list!!!!
And the beauty of a list like this is, that I can go right down the list nodding my head in agreement so nearly totally, that when I come to one I don't know, I HAVE to listen to it. Because I am sure you and I have almost exactly the same taste in music. And GREAT taste at that!!! LOL
I will check out a couple that I don't know.
Thanks a LOT, this is what this forum is all about,
MUSIC to sing through our GoldenEars!!!!!
Thanks and God Bless,
Wayne

Hi all, I'm back from a very busy week on the road and catching up on all the awesome selections for timeless music.

Among all the types of music I like, I confess to liking Power Pop a lot. Tommy Tutone, The Romantics, Scandal, Great Buildings, Fotomaker, Nick Lowe, Tommy Keene, Holly & the Italians, Paul Collins Beat, The Kings, etc. Anyway, the co-writers of 867-5309/Jenny are Jim Keller and Alex Call. Alex Call was a founding member of Clover, a great Bay Area band that included John McFee, Sean Hopper, Johnny Ciambotti and later Huey Lewis. Clover was the backing band on Elvis Costello's first record, 'My Aim Is True,' but Alex was not on that record. In 1983 he released a terrific self titled solo album on Arista Records that you can find if you look. It was never released on CD, just vinyl, so look at www.musicstack.com or www.gemm.com to find it. Amazon may be a decent source, too. This record has many standout tracks, but two are really great: "New Romeo" and "Just Another Saturday Night." Not sure it quite makes timeless status, but it's darn good. I hope you like it if you seek it out.

Ack! More to confess! Yep, I loved GFR and TDN. "Are You Ready" is a great rocker but I agree that the timeless tunes are as noted below.

For Three Dog Night, I know it's not cool to like them but I thought they were an amazing band, not just for superb musicianship and vocals, but for their ability to interpret songs and make them their own. In addition to the covers listed below, I'd add the following covers by TDN as timeless tracks for me: "Heaven Is in Your Mind" (Traffic), "Chest Fever" (The Band), "Shambala" (by Daniel Moore, B.W. Stevenson also covered it really well) and "Pieces of April" (Dave Loggins). What's cool is the originals are pretty timeless, too. It would be easy to go on with more TDN stuff, but there's a few.
