Although Grand Funk's first album, 1969's ON TIME, didn't contain as many instantly recognizable tracks as would future albums (1973's WE'RE AN AMERICAN BAND, for example), it's unquestionably one of the best hard rock debuts ever. While some bands honed their sound over the course of a few albums, GFR had already found its niche with ON TIME, which was one of the first albums to be termed "heavy metal." Sample a young and hungry Grand Funk, with highlights including "Anybody's Answer," "Into the Sun," "Time Machine," and "Are You Ready?"
