I don't buy many discs these days for the "total package" but rather, for one song or another...in this case "I'm Your Captain", which is on my all time top 100 list...problem is that I listen to so many types of music that I often miss the title of songs that I like a lot, but rarely hear anymore because they're from long ago...now, this disc is very good, so in addition to the song I wanted, "I'm Your Captain", I also got some others that are VERY worthy of my listening time...much like Mott The Hoople's All The Young Dudes, 'Captain is a song I'd walk to Kansas or beyond for, if that's where I had to go to get it...if you're from Kansas, feel free to take offense :-)

I enjoy Grand Funk's music. Several of their songs got a lot of airplay in the early 70s. The group was considered to be in the same genre as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, and the group was typically unpopular with critics. This particular collection is one of the better ones available, though it remains less than perfect.
The easiest way to satisfy most Grand Funk fans would be to put all 20 songs that charted to 1976 into one collection. Then we would all be happy. I personally would have been happy with just one or two more songs from the aforementioned 20, particularly "Feelin' Alright." Until the 20 song collection of all charting songs happens, this CD is probably your best best. Of course, if you are missing a favorite song you have one of two choices. Either get the collection that contains your favorite song, or get the album that has that song, which is also a good idea.
Grand Funk was one of the hardest rock groups of their day. Sometimes described as the loudest rock and roll band in the world, Grand Funk was one of a very small number of bands that helped evolve rock into heavy metal. Fans of hard rock and classic rock should have at least one collection from this wonderfully talented group.
Enjoy!
