This will be a test quiz, there are no 'other answers'. Clues are cryptic and I'd appreciate some feedback as to whether they are too difficult or easy. I've run them past SWMBO and as she neither likes cryptic clues or has a vast knowledge of 'pop' music she scored zero. The answers are either artists, groups and track or album titles. I don't think there's a need to restrict answers to one a day but I'll chip in from time to time to let you know how you are doing...

(1) Hit record with worldwide appeal, not for squares.

(2) Spooked? Use your mobile.

(3) Boarding this, you could end up in Ruhleben but not by car.

(4) A prickly friend, no longer with us.

(5) Spicy non commissioned officer

(6) Farmer needs to irrigate land after a dry winter

(7) Watch your step in the craters

(8) Nordic palindrome

(9) Sibling who's been on a diet

(10) You might find these in Denmark
 
It's Abba, isn't it?
 
And Number 5 is Sergeant Pepper.

They are a touch on the difficult side. I'm not sure I can answer any more.
 
Ok, that's #5 and #8 gone...
 
Ah, ah. No. 7 - Walking on the moon
 
I've got a couple of ideas for 1) and 2) but I'll let some other folks have a go.
 
#9 - Little Sister?
 
(10) Flaky Pastry?
 
(4) Hedgehog Pie
 
(3) U2
 
(6) I think I know this.... if the "farmer" has a common Australian name? [A crypted question about a crypted clue! :) ]
 
1) Rocking all over the World.
 
OK, correct answers so far...

(3) U2

(5) Sgt. Pepper

(6) Dusty Springfield

(7) Walking on the moon

(8) Abba

(9) He Aint Heavy, He's My Brother

perhaps #2 is a bit misleading, as it's a line from a song but which contains the title...
 
2) Ghost Town?
