The album version of "D.O.A", clocking in at 8:20, appears on Bloodrock 2, which debuted on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart for the week ending 11/7/1970.
An edited 45rpm version, clocking in at 4:15, debuted at #94 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending 1/2/1971. Despite its being banned by numerous radio stations, it peaked at #36 in early March and spent a total of 13 weeks on the chart. It is the group's only appearance on the Hot 100, which, I suppose, makes them eligible for one-hit wonder status.
"Stilled by Whirlwind Tongues" is a cut on Bloodrock's final studio album, released in February 1974. It didn't chart. Music fans perferred their Tull straight from the source.
Perhaps the band should have called their 1974 album Bloodrock Tongues.
