*This rocker had much going on when his 1990 album was released. His old manager was gone...he needed a new one. He reconciled with his girlfriend and they moved from New York City to Los Angeles to give things a go.
They had a baby boy together, he bought a motorcycle and got the acting bug. Pretty good right? Not so fast...as he strayed, fell in love with someone 13 years his junior and fathered a daughter. Name the artist... *One of the most blatant and memorable songs in the 'no-good man' milieu, this track was written by Clint Ballard, Jr. who also wrote for Connie Francis and The Hollies. It's about a woman who comes to the conclusion that the guy she split from was trouble from the start. Name the artist who made it a #1 hit in 1975 and extra credit for the name of the track... *This 1971 song is a lament for a lost love and was originally intended as a finale for a movie...the song and movie both written by the same artist. The movie simply did not materialize. Playing piano on the track was a keyboardist who also did the same for the Rolling Stones on occasion. Name the artist who wrote it, the band that released it and extra credit for the name of the track and keyboard player. This...a deep dig, friends... Have fun! *We'll enjoy a track that first appeared on this artist's excellent 1970 album and then made a 2nd (pared down) appearance on an album one year later as well. It's a rather dark song and of course...we'll play the long version. Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the track...

*A 1983 song by this most eclectic British artist was co-written by him with assistance from Iggy Pop. While Iggy didn't sell many albums, he was usually low on cash. The proceeds from this hit though, gave him some financial stability for the first time in his career. Iggy's infatuation for a woman hanging around the studio formed the basis for the song. Name the artist that released it and extra credit for the song name about the influence of Western values...
*Much has been written about the plight of the farmer, John Mellencamp was a huge advocate with his music and his dedication to the cause. Another artist from across the pond, seemingly quite removed from a farmer's environment, composed a ballad we'll enjoy tonight. It is sung from the point of view of an aging farmer who has survived the worst winter in 14 years. The farmer pays tribute to his loyal wife who has stayed by his side. Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the 1971 song... *This exceptional band from SoCal didn't really feature one of their founding members on their first album release, as his contribution was lead vocals on 2 tracks and only 1 track of songwriting credit. That all got corrected on the band's 2nd album in 1973. His major contributions to this concept album elevated the band to another level. Name the band and the band member in question... *This great artist was 44 when he released his 2nd solo album in 1994. The album captured the emotion of what was going on in his life at the time...not all wine & roses. His marriage was on the rocks and there was a serious drug addiction happening. That said, he was in a very prolific songwriting mode and this album turned out to be one of his best. Name the artist.. BATTLE OF THE BANDS She’s Not There by Zombies vs Tired Of Waiting For You by Kinks ANSWERS 1. David Bowie, China Girl 2 Rod Stewart, Mandolin Wind 3. Eagles. Don Henley 4. Tom Petty Battle of the Bands : Zombies won the Battle with 51% of votes *A track we'll play from a great 1970 album was originally written and recorded in a blues style R&B by Wilbert Harrison in 1962. The song was a plea for fidelity in a fractured marriage. The song,, Let's Stick Together didn't chart, but this west coast band heard it, loved it and released their version, while changing one word in the song's title. Name the band that released it in 1970 and extra credit for the name of the track...
*The year of 1965 was a quite busy one for this Scottish singer/songwriter. He released 3 albums that year! Comparisons were inevitable. He was connected to a folk artist in the U.S., but that lasted for only a brief period as this artist strayed from folk into some trippy influences with his future music. Name the artist and extra credit for the U.S. artist he was compared to... *The Ronettes had a hit in the early 60's...Be My Baby. When the song was first heard by this band's frontman, he knew instantly he wanted to try and match it. The result was a 1964 hit about a car and a woman, something the band knew quite a bit about. Name the band, the frontman and extra credit for the name of the song... *Humor in rock music exists and this great artist made serious topics fun. Take voting for example. While a member of a couple of excellent bands, he also enjoyed a solo career which involved a 1992 album and a track with a message, a request and a few guitar licks thrown in for good measure. Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the track... BATTLE OF THE BANDS Country Road by James Taylor vs Son Of A Son Of A Sailor by Jimmy Buffett ANSWERS 1. Canned Heat. Let’s Work Together 2. Donavan. Bob Dylan 3. The Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, Don’t Worry Baby 4. Joe Walsh. Vote For Me Battle of the Bands : James Taylor won the Battle with 53% of votes *This song, originally released by The Zombies in 1966 tells the story of a man who has been deceived by a woman he was involved with. The song tells of the emotions of confusion and frustration, rather universal to say the least. The song, however, was covered by an outstanding artist in 1977 and that one will spin later this evening. Name the band that released it in 1977...
*This 1986 song is very unusual hit, lacking a big chorus, shifts in momentum, catchy hooks and most other elements of typical chart toppers.With a consistent tempo and a jazz-inflected sound, it appealed to a more adult audience and added a welcome diversity to Top-40 playlists, dominated at the time by up-tempo, synth-driven songs. The song actually deals with the Civil Right Movement in the U.S. Name the American artist and extra credit for the name of the track... *A track from one of the most innovative, but overlooked albums of the early 70's will spin. The tune was written by a band member who would go on to release a solo hit in 1978. The song was named after the band's drummer and his hair style, one that The LooneyMan endorses! Name the band, the song and extra credit for the writer of the track... *When this exceptional L.A. artist released this1974 track, it did not arrive as a chart-chasing single or a radio staple, unlike many of his hits. Instead, it lived quietly within one of the most emotionally resonant albums of the decade, one that reached #14 on the Billboard 200. The track we'll enjoy...never released as a single, its endurance over time though has been embedded into a listening audience and it refuses to leave. Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the song... BATTLE OF THE BANDS Dream On by Aerosmith vs Feel Like Makin’ Love by Bad Company ANSWERS 1. Santana 2. Bruce Hornsby, The Way It Is 3. Spirit, Mr. Skin 4. Jackson Browne, You Love The Thunder… Battle of the Bands : Bad Company won the Battle with 52% of votes |
