MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Feb 9, 2025 #304

*A U.K. band that is known for their cerebral lyrical approach and their storytelling prowess penned a song that seemingly dons an innocuous facade.  But I understand...you need more!  The title and their constant references leave little doubt of just how to connect with 'the soul' of the song, something that many did with this artist in the decade of the 50's.  This is a fun one...Name the band and extra credit for the name of the song...
 
*This Brit band released their 1st album for a new label in February of 1977.  They had basically and almost officially gone off the radar since their huge Top Ten Hit in 1970.  This album got them pushed into the start of one of rock's greatest comebacks and launched a successful 'arena rock' phase that even they did not see coming.  Another fun one...Name the band...
 
*Once upon a time there was a painter most aptly named Neon Park.  He became best known for the images that strongly defined covers for nearly every album by this excellent group.  A band that has entertained us well since the decade of the 70's.  An amazing 1973 album had a rather incredible distinction.             It fell short of reaching out to the wider public...but the truth is...the wider public failed to reach out to it!  Nice!
Name the band...
 
*One needs to invent new adjectives for this artist.  That, with all his diversity, he could come out with an album that has the ability not only to entertain, but to make you think...mission accomplished with his 1992 album. One could easily consider this a concept album as we ponder, society, the health of the planet...he is worried about what will be left for grandchildren.  You've loved him in multiple bands...or solo just as well.  Name the artist...
