A fine grid as is the norm from you, FirstGofer, with devilish crossovers. Found the groups and three connections but could not identify Coldplay. Application postponed until we learn more about pop music from the last 20 years! Thank you for another sound challenge.

Great to see people going against the grain of normal groups! Just the Fe group failed to find the connection.

Thanks guys. RossChris... get the application in. These things can take months (I've done 3 TV quizzes) and it gives you the incentive to study! In the meantime, I shall make it my personal challenge to include some of this 'modern music' in my grids (that said, I'm pretty rubbish on the last 10 years!).
