*In 1987 this group became arguably the first rock and pop act to reach an unbroken quarter century in the music business. Here they were after 25 years with 27 studio albums to show for it and while they hadn't been as prolific leading up to 1987, they certainly still had an excellent legion of fans. Name the band....
*1994 saw the release of this group's 18th album, sounding every bit as great as their previous releases. Pretty amazing as the group had not had a hit on the music charts in over a decade. And their sound was still fresh and familiar despite a reduced personnel situation. Name the group... *Soul had been at the foundation of this duo's sound throughout their career together, so it was appropriate and timely that they cut their own soul tribute album in 2004. Name the group... *In 1972 this artist released the first song he ever wrote. In his teens, the artist was an avid listener to music but it was only when he put his first group together at the age of 19, that he realized he should start writing music. That song, and many others he would go on to write, was inspired by a high school relationship that didn't work out in 1966. Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the song...

*The title track to this artist's 1983 album catapulted him to international fame. Sure he had an intense following in a southwestern state in which he was born and that grew a bit larger when playing some guitar for David Bowie's Let's Dance album in 1983. Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the album/song...
*A 1982 debut solo album came from an artist that had already established himself as a prominent figure in the music industry, due to his previous tenure with a great band. This solo effort showed a bit of a different style and a selection of songs that were considerably different, spanning various musical styles, blending rock, pop and elements of country. Name the artist... *A fourth album released in 1977 found this artist continuing to grow. The album was considered somewhat of a concept album replete with orchestration that followed an underlying theme throughout. Born in Peoria, Illinois, he passed away much too early at the age of 56, in 2007. Name the artist... *With the release of his ninth album in 1989, this artist was concerned about the album content being considered "too serious." He was concerned that making anything way too serious just might repel a large amount of people he wanted to reach. Much to his dismay, he knew this from experience from previous albums. Name the artist... BATTLE OF THE BANDS Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow by Carole King vs Help Me by Joni Mitchell ANSWERS 1. Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble, Texas Flood 2. Glenn Frey 3. Dan Fogelberg 4. Jackson Browne Battle of the Bands : Carole King won the Battle with 52% of votes *A supergroup formed in the late 80's and one particular member drew high praise from all the other members for his songwriting/co-songwriting skills. Said one member, "There's nobody I've met who knows more about the craft of how to put a song together than he does.' The other group members all learned some incredible stuff just watching his work. Just start a sentence and soon, there will be multiple finishing options. Name the band and the artist they refer to...
*We'll play a track from another 'mega-group' from 2007 co-written by two of the members, both of whom called it 'a song the Stones could have done.' Actually, the idea for the main phrase and verse came from an earlier member, they kicked out of the band in 2001. The song was released as a single from the band's 2007 album and charted on both the Adult Contemporary and Country charts. Name the band and extra credit for the name of the track... *A track we'll play finds the singer playing the part of a woman who enjoys the carnal encounters with her lover, but feels no emotional attachment. She wants him to know that there's nothing more to it, as for her it's purely physical. Name the artist and song... *This excellent artist performed in a duo for a few years prior to starting a solo career. We'll play a song from 1972 that was his first single release as a solo artist. The song was written in response to the Jimmy Cliff song, 'Vietnam" where a mother receives a letter about her son's death on the battlefield. Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the song... BATTLE OF THE BANDS I’ve Seen All Good People by Yes vs Wishing You Were Here by Pink Floyd ANSWERS 1. Traveling Wilburys, Bob Dylan 2.
