MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Mar 30, 2025 #309

*For much of this group's early years, they were 3 regular members strong.  Their 18th album came much later in 1994.  By then, they were a duo and had not had a hit on the music charts in over a decade.  You loved them in the early 70's and as it turns out...for decades later.  Name the band...
 
*2021 was a huge coming out party for us all, but particularly for artists deeply impacted by Covid.  One such artist had an album ready to go just prior to the pandemic, but serious personal impediments for the next 3 years forced this solo album out to 2021.  We loved his music as part of a monster band, but his solo work was equally entertaining.  Name the artist...
 
*Coming off the mega-success of his 1984 album, this artist could have easily turned out another ten rock & roll anthems and continued down that lucrative road endlessly.  Instead, he turned inward with an album that delved into the deepest crevices of one of the most mysterious and terrifying places on earth: the human heart.  Granted, the artist was suffering from marital problems at the time and this track creates the feeling he realized when the person he loved the most became the person he least trusted.  Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the excellent 1987 track...
 
*Early on in her career, this singer/songwriter was marketed as a country artist, but strangely, it took ten albums before she would venture into any Nashville recording studio.  We'll dip into her 2004 album of new material with a simply excellent supporting cast of musicians pitching in.  Name the artist...

*Born in Canada, this artist played with a band by the name of the Devrons before joining the group that ultimately gained world-wide popularity.  Spending 10 years with that band, his departure meant the start of his solo career.  Name the artist...
 
*We'll play a track written by this U.K. band's guitarist.singer who shared that it was inspired by a real person, but one that shall go nameless.  What the artist discovered was that the song's title and message was actually a common experience for many people.  That did not stop the woman, for whom the song was written from suing the band for royalties for hinting the song may be about her.  Name the band and extra credit for the song title...
 
*This rocking lady's debut album in 1975 inspired a generation of female rockers, but her 1988 album sounded like she'd been listening to later Pretender's albums (A good thing BTW) and taking tips from Chrissie Hynde, one of her spiritual sisters.  Shortly after the release of this album...a retreat from the public eye until later in the 90's.  Born in Chicago and raised a Jehovah's Witness, she eventually gave up on organized religion feeling it too confining.  Name the artist...
 
*When this group began singing together in the late 60's, they could bring shivers to the spines of even the hardest rock cynics.  And when the group reunited for a 1994 album, cynics became even more cynical.  After all, how could the group ever top their past accomplishments?  Name the band whose singing defied the aging process...

ANSWERS
1.  Burton Cummings
2. The Moody Blues, Your Wildest Dreams
3.  Patti Smith
4. Crosby, Stills & Nash

*This Virginia born artist scored box office gold with this track, a continuation from his previous hit that shared similar success.  This song is about a failed southern romance between two people who enjoy the rainfall and spent a lot of intimate time in it.  However, now that she's gone, the singer mourns her loss and is reminded of her whenever he hears rain.  Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the track...
 
*This artist's ex-wife readily admits and claims this particular song was written for her.  The artist is actually non-committal about her claim.  He wrote this song with the intention of giving it to Elvis Presley, who reportedly refused it.  Elvis passed away 2 years later.  The artist then recorded it in 1975 himself.  Name the British artist...
 
*This artist got an excellent start to a most incredible music career in the 60's and 70's as a member of a number of exceptional bands.  But...he then struggled a bit trying to find success as a solo artist.  Teaming with a lyricist who had written songs for Barry Manilow, B.B. King, Joe Cocker and The Crusaders, made the difference for the songs released on his 1980 album, a keepsake for his legion of fans.  Name the artist...
 
*Ever hear of a group engaging the talents of six different vocalists for an album of 8 tracks?  Such was the case on this group's 1978 album.  The track we'll enjoy teaches that our souls are our most important asset.  This from a band who specialized in presenting such messages with their music.  Name the band...

*This 1984 album was released on January 9th of the year, ending (by 9 days) this American rock band's streak of releasing one album every year since 1978.  The single released first from this album was the band's first track to get much attention on pop radio and is by far, their biggest hit (and only chart topper).  The album was recorded at the band's frontman studio in California.  Name the band and extra credit for the name of the song...
 
*Much like another artist, David Bowie, considered a contemporary of his, this artist consolidated his glam-era success with a covers album, his first full solo effort even while his band was going full steam.  This Brit touched on everything from Motown to early jazz standards on the album, released in 1973.  Name the artist...
 
*The 1979 album release found this legendary artist writing new music as a born-again Christian, hence the religious theme that appears in our chosen track.  The song was awarded a Grammy Award for Best Rock vocal Performance by a Male in 1980.  Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the track performed at the 1980 Grammy ceremony...
 
*A fine example of the 'Southern California Sound' was a mix of country, folk and rock that this band became known for.  The track also contained  melancholy lyrics all wrapped in sweet melody, another attribute of the band's early songs.  The story of the song is one where the singer is left longing for a woman and trying to make sense of it.  Name the band and extra credit for the name of the song...
