Ok, midge. This is beginning to drive me a bit nuts.

I have (somewhat anally) gone through the posts and put together all the ones that have been guessed (and who guessed them, I'm not trying to nick any credit here)

WHAT IS THE MOTHERF&*$%£NG LINK?????

1: 2005

1a. 90’s
Most the hopple and the game of life
Man on the Moon – REM (Honey)

1b. ‘00s
I hope you didn’t catch a tan
I hope you find the right man
Valerie – Amy Winehouse/The Zutons (coffee)

2: 80’s

2a. ‘80s
Where you win or you lose
And it’s them who chose
Happy House – Housemartins (Iggi)

2b. 80s
Your beauty and kindness
Made tears clear my blindness
Sunshine on Leith – Proclaimers (Bluesheep)

1. 80’s

3a 80s
Oh we’ve got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it’s all that you’ve got
Livin on a prayer – Bon Jovi (coffee)

3b. 70s
And I can’t get enough of you baby
Can you get enough of me?

1. 70s

4a 70s
Now it’s a mighty long way down the dusty trail
And the sun burns hot on the cold steel rails
All the Way to Memphis – Mott the Hoople (shiny)

4b 70s
Can you hear me peers and pricey councillors
I stand before you naked to the eyes

1. 90s

5a 90s But the years of gin have broken him They’ve left him cold where he’s fitted in 15 Years – the Leveller (Bluesheep)

5b. 00s
What have I done it’s too late for that
What have I become truth is nothing yet

Let me know if you need a clue to the link ( perhaps a tad evil ) ( for clarity each a and b can be considered a pair that are linked in the same way as each other a b pair ) or some more lyrics

happy HOUR not house. Sorry, my typo!

Is the link something topical? Brexit? Dominic Cummings (going!)?

Is it seasonal?

There's quite a few place names in there?

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

@Iggi999

I know him so well, Babs and Elaine

Next time, Iggi, stamp on her while she's down!!!!

I've got DH to take a look.

He says he's got the link, but he cheated and googled things.

He's not going to tell me what it is, but I'm going to show him how to send a pm in a minute and get him to pm you the link so you can see if he is right.

(He is going to pm midge)

From my name, but I won't see it

Maybe it's names of aeroplanes and spacecraft?

(Yet another incorrect guess I'm sure - you don't have to award me a point)..

@FlouncerInDenial your DH is spot on...more clues?

It's in the pairings, the seeing them together

I will bold part of that sentence next

[quote midgebabe]@FlouncerInDenial your DH is spot on...more clues? [/quote]
I’ve told him he was right. He is smirking.

Bastard!

@midgebabe

No, I’m going to look again.

I can’t get it.

sramps feet

You will see it soon I am sure

@midgebabe hallucinations/visions?

Nope, I am not hallucinating or having visions.
Do you need to form a support group to help each other with the trauma ?

Is it a spelling thing, midge? Do the initial letters of the song or artist spell a word?

Ye gods, this is killing me!

Can we report midge to MNHQ and get her banned??????

No it is not spelling!

Anyone miss live music this year?

By jingo, have I got it? That's a clue isn't it? Were they all due to play Glastonbury this year???? Please let it be right so I can stop thinking about this!

No, just googled. I'm wrong - sorry

Along the right lines at least/last

But not all together,,..they are in pairs....

It's something to do with playing live though

Was one of each pair a support band for the other?

And breathe. With many thanks to @Bluesheep8

Of course, it turns out that the ones where that was obvious, no one got the songs...or it may just be me

I chose the pairings where the support group may have outshone the main act then live or later in their careers.

4b 70's Can you hear me peers and pricey councillors I stand before you naked to the eyes is Seven seas of Rhye by Queen
(have I actually got one right/before anyone else so I have to stop lurking?)

Yes @Fluffythefish !
