I've looked up the acronym and frankly I've never heard of it so I won't cheat and post the answer! Now to the questions:

4. Basement Jacks (or is it Basement Jax). G'wan, give it to me.

I'll come back later with my second!

Are you able to go into your first post so you can note which ones have been guessed correctly? I suspect that you might not have a sufficiently high permission level and this will become (might already have become) unavailable for editing.

If that's the case then one of the staff members can do this for you.

I am unable to edit the first post, if someone can do that it would be much appreciated

Damn, damn, damn. There goes four off my list. But I still have:

11. Joy Division
29. Tim Westwood

I'm glad that 5) has gone as I was convinced that was Weather Report!

If an answer isn't the one I have but matches the clue then I will most likely accept it, provided it isn't some obscure band no one has ever heard of. Weather Report would have been okay
