MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Jan 18, 2026 #347

*The standard-bearers of L.A.rock's second wave, this band was a streamlined hybrid of proven rock strategies.  Their albums combined the rich vocal harmonies and jangly guitars of The Byrds, Jackson Browne's intimate confessionals and Randy Newman's acerbic character studies...all put together with the painstaking precision of Steely Dan.  Name the band...
 
*This excellent band represented another entry into the 'rock & roll family band tree'.  Three brothers rooted in rock & roll basics such as Chuck Berry, The Beatles with a little Ritchie Valens, Latin rhythm inspired sounds created by bands like Santana, they took a rightful spot amongst some of the most successful family band acts.  Name the band...
 
*This rather incredible band employed dense arrangements with deep bottom, penetrating guitar and varied keyboards (both piano and organ) on their 3rd album in 1970...a sound very much like their first 2 efforts.  Several of the tracks on this album seemed to be metaphors for trouble the group was encountering...all of which finally led to their break up.  Name the band...
 
*This group's 4th million-selling album in 1978 placed two songs of opposing styles in the top 40, with the album going to #17.  The song we'll enjoy is very zen-like as the singer tells the story of an old man who imparts some wisdom, asking her to look at an animal chasing an insect...a quite futile situation.  Name the band and extra credit for the name of the song...
