Grand Funk Railroad - Bad Time (1975)

Grand Funk Railroad began as an underground favorite on FM radio in 1969 with the song "Paranoid." No one knew the top 40 hit maker the band would become starting with "Closer
To Home" in 1970. Of all their hit singles, this one ... their last major hit ... strikes a nerve more than any other. It is a gut wrenching and exhilarating foray into a love lost and found at the wrong time.

Ha, I've known this song since I was a kid in '75 but I never knew it was GFR! They're so awesome.

Grand Funk was a great band. I was 18 years-old when this song came out. I recently heard it on SiriusXM and brought back memories of a very special girl I was in love with. To this day I still think of her and I hope she had a happy life.

I was a teenager when this song was released.
This was back in the days before this country got stupefied like it is today.

I just heard this song at Dairy Queen in Hanover, Massachusetts. This song came out when I was 7 years and I just heard this song recently and I am now 56 years. I am surprised to hear this song for the first time and I am surprised this song came out in 1975. I love this song. This song to me seemed like it came out in the the 1970's when I first heard when I just heard it. I wish I heard that song when I was 7 years old. It's a great song.

God I really miss the 70's

I was 13 when this came out. I'm 61 now and hate every aspect of my life.
I was dating Ann Dolber and she dumped me after a year for a effin jock that cared more about hi car then her.
the redhead with blue eye shadow could be Ann's twin sister. *sigh*

Mike, can you tell me please your source for the photo of the beautiful blonde girl with the 70s powder-blue eye shadow? She looks exactly like an amazing girl I went to high school with.
