Rock Survey - Some Kind of Wonderful (Grand Funk Railroad)

Artist: Grand Funk
Song:  Some Kind of Wonderful


Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTuIXtXUEw4

Quick Thoughts: An American blues rock band from Flint, Michigan that was popular during the 1970s, though it appears that critics hated them while audiences loved them.  This is one of their best known songs.  Not a great song but worthy of being included on my list. Not to be confused by a song of the same name sung by The Drifters.

Ranking from Original "Top 1000" List:  961
Added to my Personal List?  YES
Total Songs Added to Final List25

Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music.  My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists".  As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this for all the songs that will make my final list.   I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
