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.
