Well, it's not MY Grand Funk anyways. Do you know how much I would love to hear "Heart Breaker", or "Time Machine" on one of these lame FM classic rock stations? I don't think I've ever even heard "Inside Looking Out" on the radio before. We all need to be program managers ! The classic rockers of the FM dial would enjoy the radio again :)

Expert Rocker Comment by barrytheb on June 7, 2013 at 4:37pm: Mark, Don & Mel! Why are these guys almost never played on Classic Rock radio? Closer to Home is almost the only song other than some of the later material such as American Band or Locomotion(YUK!), but none of the other early stuff. The best era was when they were a trio. Closer To Home is a great song but it is not typical of their sound!
