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.
“Elenore” was the biggest hit from the album, which was actually parodying their biggest pop hit, “Happy Together”. The song had an artfully crafted pop sound, though lyrically it lampooned the entire genre. We wonder how many of their younger fans got the joke at the time.
The Bullet Points:
Album Appeared:
The Turtles present the Battle of the Bands (1968)
Actors/Performers:
The Turtles
Songs you might remember:
Elenore
Why you should vote for them:
The “bands” lone song was a top ten hit.
Why you should not vote for them:
We aren’t sure ourselves if the Turtles billing themselves under another name for one song only should even count.
