After trashing them in a prior e-mail, I will defend some of the tuneage on
their reunion album, GRAND FUNK RULES. The song "Queen Bee" was featured on
the soundtrack of HEAVY METAL (which spurred Cheap Trick's cool "Reach Out")
and another tune "Y.O.U." was a good track -- kind of like Will & the
Bushmen, if I recall correctly.
