  Fun puzzle, but it made me feel old (as so much does) - I'd only heard of one of the bands (MADNESS14ABand, or Prince Buster song[-------]). I will now demonstrate some likely golf influence - do you yell FORE24DA call made before driving[----] before you drive when there are people down the fairway, after you drive if you mishit the ball toward someone, or both? Any way, thanks for sharing - very enjoyable!

    Personally, I yell it all the time, because I never know where the ball is going to go . Thanks!

  Nice job, but I don't understand FAE24APuck, Oberon, and the like[---] for Oberon, Puck, etc. (Video game? Shakespear? Other?)

    Thanks! They are fairy folk in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Fae is another word for fair folk.

  Clever concept! Definitely on the tougher side, though. I knew KOOKS19ABand, or David Bowie song[-----] and MADNESS14ABand, or Prince Buster song[-------], but MRBIG22ABand, or Free song[-----] and ROXETTE26ABand, or Dr. Feelgood song[-------] were both new to me. TIL that FAE24APuck, Oberon, and the like[---] is both singular and plural

    Thanks! I’m a fan of late-week crosswords, so I tend to skew that way when I make them too. It was a bit of a challenge to find bands that fit the theme, that were also accessible to most people. My criterion ended up being, “Can I sing at least one of this band’s songs without looking up the lyrics?”

    Problem with that is that I’ve had “To Be With You” by Mr. Big in my head for a week now
