*This 1968 song is one that lends itself to the good vibes of Springtime (something I already yearn for). Written by the 2 lead members of the band, it was the 1st single released after the band shortened their name. They wrote the song while touring in Hawaii with the lyrics reflecting the peacefulness they were experiencing at the time. Name the band and extra credit for the name of the song...
*This great American singer/songwriter released a song in 1977 that gave him his first hit single that he always craved. The topic was somewhat controversial and insulting, and for his next album in 1979, he promised an even larger insult. Sure enough that album released in 1979 was packed full of losers and misfits for whom the artist's contempt was unmistakable and somewhat predictable. Name the artist... *When this album first appeared on record store shelves, many fans had a thankful reaction. Thankful because the band (and their famous frontman) they knew and loved had made it into the decade of the 90's. Sadly, for those fans, there would be only one more album from this great band. The frontman would go on for a most significant solo career. Name the band and frontman... *The vocals for this excellent Beatles song from the Abbey Road album had a bit of history to it. Paul McCartney wrote it and had a particular sound in mind. John Lennon wanted to sing it, as he felt he could provide just the right sound, but McCartney went the extra yard for a full week to get his intended vocals...strained and raspy. McCartney was pleased with the end result...Lennon...not so much. Name the song... BATTLE OF THE BANDS Mr. Soul. by Buffalo Springfield vsThe Weight. by The Band ANSWERS 1. The Rascals...It's A Beautiful Morning 2. Randy Newman 3. Dire Straits...Mark Knopfler 4. Oh! Darling Battle of the Bands : The Band won the Battle with 54% of votes *This excellent 1976 song needed some Spanish guitar and it came from an unlikely source. The artist had hired a piano player for the session for this Alan Parsons produced album, when Parsons declared that Spanish guitar would work nicely. The problem came that they didn't think they had anyone who could play the instrument until the piano player shared...he could do it...and do it...he did. Name the artist, the song and extra credit for the name of the Spanish guitar contributor...
*This excellent track from 1967 is sung from the perspective of a child addressing an unnamed man. The vocals and music border on idyllic and a bit of subtle darkness, typical of the songwriter's style. The artist is not really one to explain his lyrics, choosing to encourage listeners to form their own opinions. Name the artist and the band that released this song. Oh, and extra credit for the name of the song... *This 1974 album by this progressive British band came after 2 chart-topping efforts. The album saw a return to standard length songs following the two epic-length pieces. Name the band... *As some would say, a change is as good as a holiday and a change in musical direction is either going to make you...or break you. After stints with two, excellent 70's Irish bands, this artist became a most awesome and accomplished solo blues artist. Name the artist... BATTLE OF THE BANDS Hey Joe by Jimi Hendrix. vs Outside Woman Blues by Cream ANSWERS 1. Al Stewart, On The Border, Peter White 2. Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young, I Am A Child 3. Jethro Tull 4. Gary Moore Battle of the Bands : Jimi Hendrix. won the Battle with 56% of votes * A 1991 album by this legendary singer/songwriter came with a most considerable cast of invited contributors. They included members of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, an Everly brother, Bonnie Raitt and the Boss, Mr. Springsteen. The artist in question was 24 at the time of his 1st album release in 1971. Name the artist...
*This artist was inducted into the Rock & Roll HOF in 2020 as part of a group he was with in the 70's. He did not record a solo album until 2022 and he had some excellent help from Clint Black, Jonny Lang and Michael McDonald. Name the artist and extra credit for the band he was with for the HOF induction... *2012 was the year of release of an album that if you were not listening to...you should have been. One of the best releases of that year, the album displayed great instrumentation, brilliant harmonies and first rate songwriting. Name the band that screams 'Americana' ... *Like many other rock artists whose careers began in the late '60's, by the early '90's this artist was struggling to find his place in contemporary music. Being a legendary guitarist aside, he struggled through a series of unfortunate events that affected his ability to create. A 1992 release changed it all. Name the artist... BATTLE OF THE BANDS Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Tears For Fears vs Games People Play by Alan Parsons Project ANSWERS 1. John Prine 2. Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter 3. Zac Brown Band 4. Eric Clapton Battle of the Bands : Tears For Fears won the Battle with 51% of votes |
