*This 1970 song for a West Coast band should have logically been the title track of their 3rd album. It didn't happen. The album was released with the title, but the song actually didn't get released until the band's 5th album two years later. Name the band and extra credit for the name of the song...
*After the success of its 1969 self-titled debut, this group struggled mightily with its demons and by 1972, their past had caught up with its present. Drug addiction of one member was one of many problems along with constant bickering of the issues of control, foretold of their ultimate breakup with minimal and occasional reunions. One reunion came from a third studio album in 1982. Name the band... *This incredible artist from a number of bands in the 60's started his solo career later in that decade with a debut album full of acoustic, folk-like arrangements. He followed it up with a 2nd album, an electric rock set with his backing band.. His 3rd effort in 1970 mixed the two composition styles. Name the artist... *An Eagles song from 1974 is considered by the writers (Don Henley, Glenn Frey and J.D. Souther) to be the most misunderstood break up song in modern day time. The song is played at weddings and anywhere else one wants to demonstrate affection...and that is quite humorous to them. This song, the band's 1st #1 hit for them, is a '180' departure from the way it has been played for decades. Name the song...

*Husband and wife songwriters, Felice and Boudleaux Bryant wrote most of this related duo's songs in the early days of rock. Their stylings went beyond that group though, with songs written for Bob Dylan, Elvis and Buddy Holly. The track we'll play was the first of four U.S. #1 hits for the artists. Name the artists...
*This British Isles band's 2nd album in 1974 also would go on to become known as 'The White Album' (despite The Beatles original assumption of the title). It turned out to be one of the breeziest, greasiest funk statements ever to appear on a record at that time. Name the band... *40 years ago we received a most epic classic album....one that yielded 4 smash hit singles for this British band that formed in the 70's. The album was considered a bit of a masterpiece with its blend of poignant songwriting, intricate guitar work and state-of-the-art production. Name the band and extra credit for the name of the album... *Enlisting Black Keys own Dan Auerbach as producer for this recent Carolina's artist album turned out to be most excellent. Playing through the tracks, one gets a taste of greats, Neil Young, The Allman Brothers Band, Chris Stapleton with a little bit of Otis Redding tossed in for good measure. Showcasing the artist's complete musical chops we enjoy some excellent guitar work in addition to vocals worthy of the 5th Segment. Name the artist... BATTLE OF THE BANDS Work To Do by Average White Band vs Burnin' Down The House by Talking Heads ANSWERS 1. The Everly Brothers 2. Average White Band 3. Dire Straits, Brothers In Arms 4. Marcus King Battle of the Bands : Talking Heads won the Battle with 53% of votes *A terrific singer/songwriter released an eponymous album in 1970 that included a song that resonates with listeners through its poignant lyrics and distinct musical style. Blending folk and rock influences, the lyrics encourage any listener to take a moment, reflect on their experiences and confront their own emotions. Neme the artist and the metaphorical song from that album...
*This artist did exceptionally well in the 60's and 70's with his bands, but struggled a bit to find success as a solo artist early on. He then teamed with a very successful lyricist who had written songs for Barry Manilow, B.B. King, Joe Cocker and The Crusaders. They ended up co-writing most of the songs for a 1980 album that became a huge hit. Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the album... *A ballad created by the epic late 60's/early 70's band was originally recorded by a band named The 31st of February. The writer thought so little of it that he sold the publishing right to it to buy a plane ticket. It was revived for an incredible 1972 album. The song conjures up a reference to legendary blues artist, Robert Johnson who sold his soul to the devil in a certain location. Name the artist, the band and extra credit for the song title... *There is a kind of comfort knowing this artist is still making music, both solo and with a band, enlisting exceptional band members with which he's played show after show, made album after alsum for nearly 3 decades. His voice, guitar and songs recalls the blues and rock of the late 60's and 70's, yet he presents it all with a modern punch that makes them sound contemporary. Name the artist...
