* By 1984, this band was officially pop stars with rock credibility having emerged from the punk/new wave scene with a couple of huge hit singles. Their 1984 album had to be something special after that and it turned out to be even more meticulous and catchy, thanks to teaming with Mutt Lange as producer, he of AC/DC and Def Leppard production fame. The album produced 5 hit singles. Name the band...
*This American artist has recorded an incredible amount of music in his career. That said, he felt wronged by his record label as he felt he should be receiving greater artistic freedom and royalties. So...he basically sat out the decade of the 90's until he could sign a new deal with Warner Brothers and got exactly what he was seeking. Name the artist... *The founder and leader of this English psychedelic folk band wrote a song all about sex, but with imagery so comically vague it would be hard for even the most prudish listernes to take offense. In fact, one would really have to stretch to find sexual connotations in some of his 'out there' lyrics. That said, the biggest suggestion is in the title. Name the founder and leader, the band and extra credit for the name of the 1971 song... *32 years ago, this legendary artist released her powerful 15th studio album and it was hailed as one of her finest albums in decades. It went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Pop album. Great contributions from A-list artists for this album that contained a striking self-portrait of the artist on the cover. Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the album... BATTLE OF THE BANDS Moonshadow by Cat Stevens vs Sweet Baby James by James Taylor ANSWERS 1 Santana 2. Poco 3. The Doobie Brothers, Patrick Simmons 4. John Mellencamp Battle of the Bands : James Taylor won the Battle with 55% of votes

T-Rex (Bang A Gong)Get It On 4. Joni Mitchell Turbulent Indigo Battle of the Bands : Santana won the Battle with 57% of votes *This Brit band formed in 1970 released an album in 1977 and a tour in support of the album that was quite successful. After that, they did quickly go back into the studio and started recording a new album in France starting in July of 1978 and finishing in October. It didn't turn out to be a critical darling, but the album did go to #2 in the UK and #6 in the US. Name the band...
*The frontman for this UK band when commenting on the song we'll enjoy said, 'The image I had in mind for the song was a young guy getting into his car and zooming off into town, looking for action at a club.' The song found the group flirting with disco music, a genre that was increasing in 1975 when this song was released. Name the frontman, the band and extra credit for the name of the song... *Since this group started in the late 60's, their alliance was always, at best, fragile. After 2 albums, came the band's first split and it was aided apparently by two of the members' mutual pursuit of the same lady. Name the band, the two members who desired the same woman and extra credit for the name of the woman... *This Georgia band's self-titled 1979 album was already a strong album at face value, but it's even more impressive when one considers how inventive it was for its time, as well as how impactful it would be on the musical landscape for decades to come. This is a band and an album where vocals are clearly the highlight. Name the band... BATTLE OF THE BANDS Call Me The Breeze by Lynyard Skynyard vs Sharp Dressed Man by Z Z Top ANSWERS 1. Queen 2. Bryan Ferry. Roxy Music Love Is A Drug 3. Crosby Stills & Nash, Stills & Nash pursued Rita Coolidge 4. The B-52’s Battle of the Bands : Lynyard Skynyard won the Battle with 51% of votes *We'll play a song from 1967, which is actually the story of how this west coast group met and formed. The title never shows up in the lyrics, but is a reference to a club on a road of the same name in the Virgin Islands, where the 4 members came together in 1965. Name the group and extra credit for the name of the track...
*In 2005 this exceptional artist released a most excellent album and then the wait began. After 7 years. her fans were more than ready for some new music.. And what they received was one of her best sounding albums full of music that expanded her lower vocal range without sacrificing any of her higher register. And then...add her guitar. Name the artist... *This rock & roll legend began his career as an in-demand session musician, playing with many excellent L.A. bands back in the 60's. A self-titled debut album in 1970 got his solo career launched. Name the artist... *While a member of a band that formed in New York in 1964, this artist wrote a song we'll enjoy tonight that is a surreal view on the life of a rock star. Originally writing it for the band he was in, it was eventually recorded and released on that band's last album in 1970, but didn't get much traction as the band were not really commercially viable. The writer released his own version of it in 1974 and it was huge for him. Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the track...
