MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Aug 9, 2026 #372

*A 1970 album saw this band attempting a harder rock sound as they started minimizing some of the psychedelic elements of their previous albums.  This album found the band introducing a mellotron into their sound.  Name the band...
 
*When this British band released their 1st album for their new venture with Arista in 1977, they hadn't charted in the U.S. with any single or album in quite a few years (their last top ten single was in 1970).  They had been written off as hopelessly old-fashioned.  But this album release surprised everyone with one of the finest comeback albums in rock.  Name the band...
 
*We'll enjoy a 1966 classic that is a huge part of music history as it was the first #1 Hot 100 hit recorded in the famed Muscle Shoals, Alabama.  The artist came from a most unlikely position in life...one that saw him holding a daytime job as an orderly at an Alabama hospital, while singing with a local band at night!  Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the song...
 
*This band was consistently measured against The Beatles in their early heyday.  And while they may not have outshined or outsold them in the 60's, they did manage to outlive and eventually out record them.  Name this American band...
