  • Grand Funk Railroad es una banda estadounidense frecuentemente bajo la modalidad de Power trio. Un gigante de los 70s; poco valorado por los críticos. La alineación original de Grand Funk fue muy popular durante la década de los años 1970, habiendo vendido más de 25 millones de discos y actuando en escenarios del mundo entero. También fueron galardonados 4 veces por la RIAA en 1970, caso único en cualquier grupo norteamericano en aquel año. También fueron citados como "la banda de rock and roll más fuerte del mundo". La alineación de Grand Funk usa el sobrenombre de "La banda americana", de su primer canción éxito "We're an American Band".
  • Grand Funk Railroad (also known as Grand Funk) is an American rock band that was highly popular during the 1970s. Grand Funk Railroad sold more than 25 million records, toured constantly, packed arenas worldwide, and received four RIAA gold albums during 1970—the most for any American group that year. The current Grand Funk Railroad lineup uses the nickname "The American Band", a reference to its 1973 hit "We're an American Band". A popular take on the band during its heyday was that, although the critics hated them, audiences loved them. The band's name is a play on words of the Grand Trunk Railroad, a railroad line that ran through the band's home town of Flint, Michigan.
  • The Grand Funk Railroad (also known as Grand Funk) was the most used railway line in America during the 'funk era' of the late '60s and early '70s. It was use to transport large quantities of funk to the younger generation. In modern times, the phrase has also been used as a euphemism for the phrase "Grand Spunk Railroad" which is itself a euphemism for bonking. Your local historian probably has a large collection of items from the Grand Funk Railroad (shake the fuck out of them).
