*We'll enjoy a track from this British band's last album to feature one of their quite young members. The song was a bit different from a Bo Diddley R & B classic of the same name. The track also later became an American Top 20 hit for another popular 60's British band. Name the band that first released the track in 1967 and extra credit for the band member who left shortly thereafter and the name of the song...
*One of the major 60's soul stars, this artist was one of the roughest and sweatiest...working up some of the hottest dancefloor grooves. He certainly appealed to fans that preferred their soul on the rawer side! He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2006 at the age of 64. Name the artist (I'm thinking your first guess won't be the correct guess!) *This American band only lasted 2 years back in the 60's, but that was to be expected as many of their members didn't really play with many bands that had long tenures. We'll dip into their 1968 album that was very much strained by the fact that some members chose not to play on songs written by other members of the band. That's pretty heavy friction right there. Name the band... *The 1967 release by this incredible band was surprisingly a quite strong experimental album for a band known for 3 minute pop singles. But then, the band did become well-known for experimentation. This group did, however, contribute significantly to the changing landscape of rock at the time. The song we'll enjoy, a tribute to their ex-manager who'd passed 2 years prior to its release. Name the band and extra credit for the name of the song..

*This excellent & profific multi-lead singers band who enjoyed a pinnacle of success in the late 60's and early 70's, released a song that expresses a longing for escape and tranquility in nature. Themes of solitude and reflection are lyrical suggestions. Why it's almost as if they had Big Canoe in mind. Name the band and extra credit for the name of the track...
*This great band's 7th album release in the mid-70's was written by the group's frontman at the time. Most lead vocals on the other hand went to another excellent member. The song is really a breakup tune in which the man is regretting his decision. This album represented a shift in the group as they began recording more ballads. Name the band and extra credit for the name of the song... *The British group in question here was on their way to becoming a major band by the time that their 2nd album was released in 1969. It caught them straying from the blues rock sound they'd initially made in their debut effort. And this was the album that clearly identified one key member as the undisputed as their frontman from that point onward. Name the band... *The video for this early 80's hit launched the artist to stardom. It was directed by one David Mallet who did the same for Queen and David Bowie. The big difference here though was the artist who enlisted his services had very little cash, prompting Mallet to give him a break on his fee. Name the artist and extra credit for the quite excellent song/video... BATTLE OF THE BANDS Champagne Jam by Atlanta Rhythm Section vs These Eyes by The Guess Who ANSWERS 1 Three Dog Night, Out In The Country 2. Chicago, Wishing You Were Here 3. Jethro Tull 4 Billy Idol, White Wedding, pt. 1 Battle of the Bands : Atlanta Rhythm Section won the Battle with 52% of votes * We'll go back to 1964 to catch a beauty of a song by two artists who met while attending London's Central School of Speech and Drama. One taught the other to play guitar and by 1962, they were performing together. The song we'll enjoy bears some resemblance to Buddy Holly's Words of Love and then received a cover version from The Beatles the following year of its release. Name the duo and extra credit for the name of the track...
*Before 1972, this band had some great songs, but their albums were mostly individual moments of brilliance in a sea of uninspired filler. Their 1972 album changed that and defined their post-blues musical personality.. The album established the band in the rock, even soft-rock style of the 70's. Name this West Coast band... *In February of 1993, this broadcast appeared on MTV one month later. This unplugged offering was then released as a home video to coincide with the audio CD version. Name the artist... *With this 1979 album release, this U.K. band had a genuine blockbuster hit, topping the charts for 4 weeks in the U.S. and selling millions of copies worldwide. By the '90's, the album had sold over 18 million copies across the world. With mention of the album's iconic cover, name the band and extra credit for the name of the album... BATTLE OF THE BANDS Voodoo Chile by Jimi Hendrix vs Voodoo Chile by Stevie Ray Vaughn ANSWERS 1. Chad & Jeremy 2. Fleetwood Mac 3. Neil Young 4. Supertramp Breakfast In America Battle of the Bands : Jimi Hendrix won the Battle with 52% of votes *Notorious for shunning live performances, this band's improbable live reunion in the mid-90's eventually turned into a full-fledged reunion album. Fans of the group had gone 2 decades without the hope of a new album, so the prospects were delightful even if said fans had no idea what to expect. What we all received (and The LooneyMan was in attendance at their inaugural show of the tour) was as seductive and alluring as anything the band had previously done. Name the band and extra credit for the name of their year 2000 album...
*Where does an artist go after an ultra-successful stint with a rather incredible band? Sometimes it is hard to establish a solo identity from a band that successful. This artist's 1984 album, his 2nd solo effort, went further away from his previous band's roots with a more mellow and somewhat bluesier sound, basically giving his solo career a right-proper boost. All this prior to reuniting with his previous band. Name the artist... *When this fantastic artist applied his incredible songwriting talent to the unsettled morass that was the early 70's, he produced one of his greatest, most important works in 1973. Themes dealt with included spirituality, political ethics, drugs and the unnecessary perils of urban life with funky, catchy tunes. A collection of songs that seemingly apply to any decade since then. Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the album... *The frontman of this incredible hit-making band, when putting together tracks for their 1999 album were legendary for not really being big on venturing back to completed tracks to see if they could do it better. But one song on the album stood out for such a review. They went at it with a bit of heavy alcohol consumption and more and more takes. The end result? They canned it all together and went with a new song written by their leader. name the frontman and leader of the band...
