Some bands just get no respect from the critics, but lots of love from fans.
Grand Funk Railroad was one such band. Ironically, during the early 1970s, they were one of the most popular bands in the country. Keyboardist Craig Frost joined the band in 1973. The band got its name from a Michigan landmark called the Grand Trunk Railroad. With Terry Knight as their manager, the band's breakthrough moment came in 1969 when they played at the Atlanta Pop Festival without pay.
