The episode aired in 1996 - which means the "new" groups they featured - Smashing Pumpkins, Cypress Hill, Sonic Youth - are now in the category of Grand Funk Railroad. "It'll happen to you!" - as Abe Simpson said.
I am 38 and work with a bunch of teenagers and twenty something's. And yeah...it happened to me But I listen to mainly death and power metal.. the good 90s stuff
Interesting point. I saw this episode new when I was the same age as Bart. If I'm not mistaken, I think Bart did the Iron butterfly stunt earlier that same season
I actually felt bad for Homer there. He was enthusiastically sharing something he was passionate about and Bart just cold-heartedly, destroyed Homer's heart. Damn.
It's a string of jokes of discussing vehicles (train --> plane --> starship), nothing else there makes sense - Jefferson Airplane predate Grand Funk Railroad.
@@dannymain542 This clip of the song is fuckin' awesome, but the rest didn't really do it for me. Can you recommend some more songs with that style of vocals?
Yeah, I started listening to GFR back in college literally 100% thanks to Homer enlightening me. Although, I'm sure others must have brought this up before... But "Mississippi Queen" (the second song) was by Mountain, the Grand Funk.
For all you youngsters: Grand Funk Railroad is the ultimate generational shout out band because they didn't get a lot of press, didn't sell millions of albums but they were HUGELY popular. Led Zeppelin big but without the record sales. They were adored and loved. Bands could be big in those days and not get airplay or record sales. Grateful Dead? Word of mouth before internet.
There’s a slim to none chance kids (teenagers) right now will look back on the 20-teens/2020s music and wax poetically about it reminiscing to friends or family in 2045.
grand funk's not too timeless (doesn't mean they're bad - i actually really like their pre-american band stuff), but mountain's first album is pretty cool.
Bart's most asshole moment, homer was just trying to show them the music that he loved and got shut down by his own son. Made me sad :( Thats the sign of a great show though you feel for the characters
As a father this is the most accurate thing i have seen in all my life. My two girls hate all of my music. They go on about Ed Sheeran and Lewis Capaldi. Lucky my 8 year old boy is obsessed with50s rock and roll. Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran are he’s favourites. Thing that might of saved my life 😂
I'm 25. Most modern music doesn't interest me at all. I got influenced by my mum, and dad. I love mostly stuff from the 1960's-1990's. The 80's is probably my favourite era for music. Don't get me wrong, some of the early to mid 00's was decent but after that the good music dried up for me.
I’m 24 and share my dad’s taste in music. There is some modern music I like, but it’s mostly songs from the 60s and on. The Doors, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, etc.
I may be happy to join you. My sister Morgan is happy to harp on about pop stars but has no clue whatsoever about Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Glenn Tipton or Cozy Powell.
The first time I ever saw this I was in my 20s and I was just sitting there yelling at the TV, "WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE KIDS?!?! HOMER HAS AWESOME TASTE IN MUSIC!!!" I was into Smashing Pumpkins and the other alternative rock of the era as well but I loved classic rock and couldn't imagine how you could like one and hate the other.
Its fitting considering the episode aired during the height of the grunge/post grunge era(like 2 years after kurt kobain died and 6 years before layne staley as well) since most bands of the time sang about more depressing stuff rather then rock groups of past(plus nu metal was starting to take hold around the time)
its too bad because homer actually has amazing taste in music. growing up in the 90s this is what my dad listened to and now i listen to "dad rock" in my 30s.
My son's high school went through a big Jethro Tull phase 5 years ago when he was a senior. Admittedly it was a performing arts school, so there were lots of fellow music nerds there, but I still thought it was cool.
They really missed an opportunity making young Homer in the most recent season a gangsta rap fan instead of being into the Smashing Pumpkins (and possibly also Sadgasm, just to really throw people)
I remember being like 10-12 when I first saw this on tv and I didn't have a clue on what Grand Funk Railroad was, obviously finding music wasn't as easy back then as it is now so many years after I accidentally found Shinin' on while browsing through UA-cam and fell in love with it. Out of all the 70's bands I can think of, Grand Funk is definitely number one on my list at this moment.
I just so love when Homer says, "...the wild shirtless lyrics of Mark Farner, the bong rattling base of Mel Shocker, the competent drum work of Don Brewer... Absolutely tits!!!
This is the episode that made me fall in love with the town of Springfield - just look at those sweeping, morning vistas, mountains, hill roads, flat lands with tree lined roads; stunning.
Homer: "Grand Funk Railroad paved the way for Jefferson Airplane" Jefferson Airplane: Released their biggest album "Surrealistic Pillow" in 1967 Grand Funk: Formed and released their debut album in 1969 ...?
Just finished watching Austin Powers 2 for the 43rd time where the space laser on the moon was named the Alan Parsons Project. The algorithms everything's connected! Red pill man!
I'm 30. As a child I just thought the children didn't like that music and feel embarrased, but I became a rock fan at 15 and now I fully identify with Homer 🤘🏻
I have seen this episode numerous times and just got the connection of Grand Funk RAILROAD "paving the way" for Jefferson AIRPLANE. I always got the part about Jefferson Airplane clearing the way for Jefferson Starship, but seems to have missed the railroad/airplane connection.
No. There was actually a huge Classic Rock resurgence in the 90s; well, at least for high-school aged kids. Led Zeppelins popularity especially soared, while Jimmy Buffett went from largely forgotten one-hit-wonder to megastar. Eric Clapton became everyone's favorite Blues guitarest after his MTV Unplugged appearance, Tom Petty had a massive hit album with Wildflowers (and #1 hit with "You Dont Know How It Feels") and on and on The commentary is correct for how kids generally feel about their parents music, but it wasn't exactly an accurate example of 90s kids view towards 60s-70s music
this reminds me of how i felt about my dads music when i was a kid (my dad is into the Zombies, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Santana, The Doors, etc.) but now i think all my dads music is badass
I don’t know how it is now, but I was a teenager when this aired and a lot of people my age were really into the late 60’s and 70’s hard rock bands. Grand Funk, Zeppelin, the Doors, etc. were all pretty popular among my age group.
My dad had his 80s songs on every Saturday night trying to "educate me" as he says I hated those nights as a kid but with the music out nowadays, I'd rather listen to music with him
i am very glad that homer does got good taste in music very underrated band back in the day especially don brewers drum solos you don't find thoses type of drum solos anymore.
Yeeeahhh, its sad that this happens. But they'll grow up trying to show their kids the music they grew up with, and it'll be the same thing repeated over and over. That's why my parents played oldies ever since I was a baby. I grew up with shit that was way before my time, and during my time.
It happens, it's probably why I had a fascination with my parents' music of the 50's and 60's because of what I had to hear in the car every morning before school.

I'm born in 1977 my birthday is november 14 so tomorrow I'll be older than Homer. And boy does this episode ring true. Don't know if I'm supposed to be sad or happy...
I bet. My dad does this but it's the 50's for him, but I know the feeling. I came to appreciate my parents' music than what I had in the 80's and 90's, certainly nothing right now.
See my podcast “I Am A Grand Funk vinyl completist. Destitute and Losing was only available on the flip side of Locomotion. I had to get that single to be a vinyl completist!
I feel bad for Homer. Since I was a kid I always loved his taste in music, while my schoolmates heard the 2000s modern day stuff (guess I have that from my parents)
Honestly, this is one of the few scenes where Homer should have strangled Bart. Homer: Why you LITTLE! "strangles Bart" I'll show you to disrespect the classics! Bart: AAGHHH! AAGGH!
Grand Fuck Railroad performed at my high school back in ‘02 or ‘03. Idk why they were there, but we got to miss class and the head football coach played drums on We’re an American Band.

@@filmreviewer117 True. I guess America has to suffer for the rest. We provided the classics, now we're at our retirement stage.
I'm born in 1977 my birthday is november 14 so tomorrow I'll be older than Homer. And boy does this episode ring true. Don't know if I'm supposed to be sad or happy...
happy
People forget Bart is a 90s kid of course he will act like that to 70s songs
A classic rock station would never play ABBA. It would be AC/DC to ZZ Top.
ABBA is pop anyway.
It is a classic hits and not a classic rock station.
The moniker was usually "ABBA to Zappa" I used to hear many many moons ago.
"Eagle" (my favorite song of theirs) would fit quite comfortably on classic rock radio, if you ask me.
@@ScottyKirk1 I'm ABBA to King Crimson and Led Zeppelin to ZZ Top, and all stops in-between...
"The competent drum work of Don Brewer."
I'm only in my early 20s, yet I am literally Homer in this scene.
Me too
I just love the joke of The Alan Parsons Project being a hovercraft
This is exactly me putting 80s and 90s music in my van with my kids
I bet. My dad does this but it's the 50's for him, but I know the feeling. I came to appreciate my parents' music than what I had in the 80's and 90's, certainly nothing right now.
It came full circle
I love it when Lisa’s eyes follow Bart’s swerve hand when he says “par-tay”
"Destitute and Losin" - flip side of "The Locomotion" single -- is another excellent cut.
See my podcast “I Am A Grand Funk vinyl completist. Destitute and Losing was only available on the flip side of Locomotion. I had to get that single to be a vinyl completist!
I was born in 1992, and I appreciate Homer's music taste. I like Depeche Mode and The Human League. It's the children who are wrong.
Grand Funk is a jam!
Funnily enough, i learned about GFR when i was a small kid. Thomas and the Magic Railroad
Classic Rock is awesome I love pearl jam and soundgarden etc. I like led zeppelin ZZTOP GFR they can rock 🎸
I feel bad for Homer. Since I was a kid I always loved his taste in music, while my schoolmates heard the 2000s modern day stuff (guess I have that from my parents)
Now that 2000s stuff would be considered ‘dinosaur music’ lol
Honestly, these kids have no idea what good homer was doing for them. Your world opens up when you find out about the classic rock bands.
It does.
Honestly, this is one of the few scenes where Homer should have strangled Bart.
Homer: Why you LITTLE! "strangles Bart" I'll show you to disrespect the classics!
Bart: AAGHHH! AAGGH!
Grand Fuck Railroad performed at my high school back in ‘02 or ‘03. Idk why they were there, but we got to miss class and the head football coach played drums on We’re an American Band.
I think you're thinking of their explicit spin-off band.
You've got good taste in old school music homer 👍👍👍👍👍
"KFSL fossil 103"...l miss all the clever little details they used to throw in
This is in such contrast to the Simpsons today, which goes for a whole new angle. The angle of shit.
from the future i say, you made my day
The way I see it is: the vocal talent is still making really good money, and good for them
@@gregbors8364 I think about this too. Its rare for film/TV talent to have any kind of job security
All the way from ABBA to Zeppelin, Led. That lives rent free in my head
