I’m coming for you @Canary Fairy I’d never heard of poor misguided fool so I’ve just listened to it, and it’s absolute mint, love it.
I have guessed one 5 point for the laugh but there's ones here that could be any number of rubbish lol. Last time I gambled early and missed 5 totally.
I've had a punt on 6 for round 1 although I'm slightly disconcerted that I could have given the same answer for 2 questions
The clues are far too vague at level 1 for me. As for the previous round, I remember hearing one Startsailor song at the turn of the millennium and hated it so never followed through on them.
That's the end of your chances of bagging 5 points answers if you haven't already and so we move onto the 4 point clues...... Round 9 Who Are We? Part 2 As the title suggests this is a game where you need to work out which group/band is being referred to from the clues given. For each answer, I will post 1 clue each day during which you will have a 24 hour period to PM your answer to me. If you answer on the first clue, you get 5 points and then with each clue posted the points available drops by 1. So here goes nothing...... 1. Who Are We? We are an all male band formed in the 1960s in Liverpool We were managed by Brian Epstein 2. Who Are We? We are an American band formed in Aberdeen We were formed in the late 80s but our mainstream breakthrough didn’t come until the 90s 3. Who Are We? We are a family group from Ireland We like to mix mainstream pop rock with traditional Irish music 4. Who Are We? We are a group of school friends who formed our band in 1985 We didn’t sign to a record label until 1991 and then took another 2 years to release our debut album 5. Who Are We? We formed in 1997 having met at university and since then we have made some big fat noises Our big break came in the year 2000, a year we won multiple awards and were nominated for many others 6. Who Are We? We are a manufactured boy band created in the 1990s We have been pretty successful with 12 UK number 1 singles and 9 UK number 1 albums 7. Who Are We? We were an All American, all female group who found fame in the 60s We were generally renowned as the top act of Motown Records 8. Who Are We? We are an English band who formed in 1998 Our self titled debut album went triple platinum in the UK 9. Who Are We? We are a manufactured 5 piece boy band formed in the 90s Our debut track wasn’t a hit in America but it was still chosen as the NBA’s theme tune 10. Who Are We? We are an American rock band formed in 1980s LA We released our self titled debut album in 1984 but it wasn’t until our 2nd album a year later that we found our now familiar funk rock style Remember, any you have guessed at from the 1st clue are already locked in and cannot be changed now. Correct guesses at this stage are worth 4 points each. 24 hours on this clue with the deadline being 8:45pm tomorrow. Answers by PM only!

Answer to 1 will be interesting as I'm seeing something odd in the clues. I might be wrong. I'll be honest I just guessed at most 4 stars as I didn't have time this week so probably fall off a cliff.

Just a little nudge for a few who have big gaps in their answers so far.... @Delilah @GTFCfish @Canary Fairy
Carry on without me on this round. I don’t have much idea about the ones I’ve not answered and it’s been a busy couple of days and friends coming today for the weekend. I’ll join in again next round (if there is one )
I did the same so ah well. It's the year that put me off I probably got most of them wrong again but don't mind.
