The Turtles - Presents the Battle of the Bands
Manage episode 371507580 series 3234218
I know this album isn't incredibly popular, but it IS an amazing concept album. But I don't need to convince you because it's already got the seal of approval from the likes of Beastie Boys, De La Soul, and Ice Cube, to name a few. This is a band that created one of the greatest sunshine pop hits of the time, "Happy Together", and had the gall to just keep doing what they wanted, which was creating a strange, but extremely competent spoof album, lampooning all of the popular song tropes of the time. A few of their members, Mark Volman, Howard Kaylan, and Jim Pons even went on to contribute to Frank Zappa's legacy with the 1970-1971 lineup of The Mothers of Invention. In a pre-Weird Al Yankovic music landscape, the age of highly produced spoofdom was just beginning...
In 1973, the Beach Boys went to Holland to write a new album... These are their stories...
