GRAND FUNK

There is no better Rock band than Grand Funk. None. 'Got This Thing On The Move' is my favorite song in the universe. 'Inside Looking Out' is a fucking awesome song as well (and it was also sampled for KRS ONE's 'Sound Of Da Police' at 3:33). I can't say enough about how much I love their sound.

Grand Funk - Got This Thing On The Move

Grand Funk - Inside Looking Out

KRS-ONE - Sound Of Da Police




Third LP has the sample for Masta Ace's 'Music Man'. This Gatefold is what I stare at when I listen to anything by them. They some BAMF's.

GANG STARR - GOTTA GET OVER (TAKING LOOT) THE LARGE PROFESSOR REMIX

I love everything Premier does (even that Christina Aguilera track), but this Large Professor remix for Gotta Get Over is something everyone should have. I think this remix is only available on the 12". R.I.P. GURU.
