"Hotel California" was the Eagles masterpiece album.

From Quiz Quid Pro Crow

Answer: Rice

"Eleanor Rigby", a song about all the lonely people in the world, was written by the Beatles in 1966. It was released as a single in that year, while also appearing on their "Revolver" album. Though the composition of this song has been credited to both Lennon and McCartney, it was McCartney who wrote the major part of it. Its original title was supposed to be "Miss Daisy Hawkins". McCartney said Father McKenzie, one of the characters in the song, who was "writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear" and sits darning his socks alone, was also given a different name in the early stages of composing this song. He was going to be Father McCartney, but Paul changed that because he thought people would think the song was about his sad father darning his socks - when in fact his "Dad's a happy lad".

From Quiz Quid Pro Crow

Answer: Sandman

Composed and performed by the great Roy Orbison, "In Dreams", a number about lost love, is described as an operatic ballad that hits the charts in 1963. It never made it to number one, but its fame has long outlasted many other songs from that era. Orbison's incredible vocal range of over two octaves well and truly has earned the song the right to be described as operatic. There aren't that many untrained singers today who can successfully span that range of notes, and Orbison's voice just soars through the heartbreakingly beautiful top ones as the song builds and builds to its astonishing climax. He repeats this performance of vocal dexterity in his equally famous 1963 "Blue Bayou".

From Quiz I Reflected Deeply and By the Water

Answer: Cannot be denied

This exquisite song was written by the Americans Jerome Kern and Otto Harback for the stage musical "Roberta" (1933). It was re-presented in the film adaptation of the same name in 1935, and starred the fantastic Fred Astaire, Gingers Rogers and Randolph Scott. The song has been recorded by various performers ever since, including the great Nat King Cole himself in 1946. It re-appeared in the 1952 movie "Lovely To Look At", starring Kathryn Grayson. It was the singing group The Platters who probably took this lovely song to its greatest heights when they released it in 1958, when it shot to number one on the charts in America. And, even into the 21st century, almost 100 years after it was first written, the song is still being performed by various artists with an appreciation of its beautiful lyrics and haunting melody.
