AM/FM Classic Rock: Name That Tune - "Feeling alone, the Army's up the road, salvation a la mode and a cup of tea..."
The correct answer is 'Aqualung'
Jethro Tull: "Aqualung" [1971]; Jethro Tull is the band name, not an individual member of the band. Just as people confuse the late Ronnie Van Zant and the band name Lynyrd Skynyrd as the same "person", Jethro Tull and frontman/vocalist/songwriter/flutist Ian Anderson are confused/identified by most fans as the one and same. "Volunteers" [1969] is from the Jefferson Airplane album of the same name. "The Grand Illusion" [1977] is the name of Styx' hit single and album. "Bound To Fall" is from the 1972 album Stephen Stills/Manassas.

Classic Rock Question 4
Rocktober Fest Round 2 - This classic rock band started their career in 1968. When they were on tour in 2004, they had only one original member still in the band, Ian Paice. Their first hit in the United States was a song called "Hush" which was released in 1968. They had a huge success with their album "Machine Head" which was recorded in Montreux, Switzerland. This album had a hot song that was factual, "Smoke on the Water". Ian Gillan was their second singer and may have been their most popular one. Their lead guitarist left in mid 1975 and formed a new band Richie Blackmore's Rainbow. In 1984 the most popular lineup had a reunion which lasted 5 years. Who was this band that could make "Smoke on the Water" go "Space Truckin'"?
The correct answer is 'Deep Purple'
Deep Purple went through a lot of great guitarists such as Richie Blackmore, Joe Satriani, and Steve Morse. Ian Paice had been with the band through all their lineups into the 2004 tour. John Lord was the second to last original member when he retired in 2003. There was a long break of about eight years with no Deep Purple and it was shocking to see the reunion in 1984 since there was bad blood when several members left the band.
