Michael Aday (Metloaf) has passed away.

Paradise By the Dashboard Lights is just one of those songs that when you were young and you got off of work on a Friday evening and you heard it on the way home, it got you pumped up and ready for the whole weekend, especially if you had some parties to attend (hardly anybody throws parties anymore, do they?). This Beat Goes On/Switchin' to Glide by The Kings was another. High energy stuff that can change your mood completely.

It's closer than you probably think it is. Grand Funk Railroad sold 25 million albums while Creedence sold 26 million. GFR had 7 top ten albums, two #1 singles, but never a #1 album. Creedence had 5 top ten albums, zero #1 singles, and two #1 albums. I'd call it a draw on album sales and popularity. But for some reason Creedence made the Hall in 1993 and GFR continues to be snubbed. GFR deserves to be in the Hall a lot more than some who are already in, especially the non-rock (e.g. Hip Hop) acts.
