Just pointing out that although am not a greater speller the spelling mistakes in the answers are not mine, there shown exactly as printed (Beetles, Dire Straights, Zepplin, Boys to Men, ect)

[Captain2]

Thanks for posting bobb. My Google search still can't find The Manic Mondays, have you had any joy?

[Mamyalynne]

I hope people who wanted the answers appreciate your trouble.

[bobbinwales]

Yes- a Belgian band.

A bit flippin' obscure then, bobb? Ta.

[emeritus]

An obscure Belgian Band ? Don’t think so

[bobbinwales]

another thread here.

I think we all missed Saxon for histories darkest time. We suggested War, The Plague, ect .... but answer was Saxon, probably referance to the Dark Ages

[emeritus]

I suspect the setter has confused the song ( bangles ) with the band

[bobbinwales]

Who are they then emeritus? Is there a more well known one we's overlooked

[bobbinwales]

sorry, crossed posts... i misunderstood before emeritus

[bobbinwales]

Mentally unstable- Madness
There were other equally possible answers for this like the Kooks, 10000 maniacs

[bobbinwales]

Maybe for 23 the setter was undecided whether to do a clue for Manic Street Preachers or Happy Mondays and fell between 2 stool's.

Am sure Dido Harding was not actually a minister but I did get that answer as it was the only Harding I could think of.

I would never of got TLC for 'Feeling the love in short' and wonder if anyone here got it?

Still, good fun quiz just up my street
