Kevin --

I'm with you on that -- Nickleback actually does pale in comparison to GFR.  
However -- a few years ago, Capitol put out a 3-disc Grand Funk comp.  A 
friend of mine gave me a promo of the set.  Yikes!  There are maybe 8 or 9 
songs that are good -- everything else is turgid, plodding, boring, etc.  
They really only got interesting once they started working with Todd 
Rundgren and Frank Zappa.
