From the underappreciated concept album (The Turtles present the Battle of the Bands) by the Turtles we have an albums where different “bands” appeared. This allowed the group to not only stretch their skills musically, as each “band” had a completely different sound and also showcase their humor.
It was a cheap joke, a short song and it still makes a lot of people chuckle when they hear it. Amazingly if any of these “bands” make our Hall (not that we are expecting any of them too), we think it might be the fine Chief.
