Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is an album title
This meta came to me as I was listening to the band that recorded the album that is the answer to the meta. You might need Google for this one. ;-) Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=112378#p112378

    Good one, Ben. Nice construction. I needed to lean on the internet to solve this one. Thanks.
    • Laura M 🤓12:16 · 2022-11-15T06:49:50.004Z
      This band was in the most recent MMMM as well! I studied the grid very closely so I remember :-) Not super familiar to me, but having looked them up I do remember and like at least one of their songs ("Breathless"). Nice puzzle, thanks!
      • benchen71 constructor · 2022-11-15T08:44:15.323Z
        Check out "Runaway" - it's a stunningly beautiful song from their first album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fMUYU8DC1U
      • kieranjboyd 6:50 · 2022-11-15T11:41:38.757Z
        The Corrs were the first band I saw in concert, when my mum took my sister and me as kids over 20 years ago! Now I feel old.
        • Cindy Heisler 2s · 2022-11-15T11:50:14.693Z
          Great meta, Ben. I usually have problems with musical metas, but I saw this one right away. First meta solve of the week for me. Thanks!
          • Capn Rick 🤓8:00 · 2022-11-15T12:55:53.429Z
            Nice job, Ben! I'm not familiar with the band, but I love the way you tied in the corners.
            • Alex Sisti 2s · 2022-11-15T13:58:44.948Z
              Great band, each more beautiful than the next...
              • boharr 3s · 2022-11-15T13:42:22.585Z
                Never heard of the band or the album. Par for the course. Google needed,
                • JHSeeman 2s · 2022-11-15T13:43:00.966Z
                  Good One, nice meta with the names tied into the album. Thanks
                  • Ergcat 16:27 · 2022-11-15T15:01:28.717Z
                    Excellent puzzle! Took me a little while to get the correct names ( Andrea not Andre, Caroline not Carol, etc) but once I did it was quick to The Corrs. Then I listed the albums and quickly saw TALK in the grid corners! Clever construction there! Thank you for a fun puzzle, Ben!
                    • Ergcat 16:27 · 2022-11-15T15:17:19.342Z
                      I just realized what you did at 40a40AHearts, and also where you'll find the members of the band of the meta answer[-----]!!! You gave a bonus hint! CORES40AHearts, and also where you'll find the members of the band of the meta answer[-----] sounds like…..
                      • hoover 3s · 2022-11-15T22:41:18.268Z
                        Me too, only I had Caroline, Andrea, Jimmi, and Sharon. That was close enough to get me to The Corrs, at which point I remembered 40A40AHearts, and also where you'll find the members of the band of the meta answer[-----]. Wikipedia gave their best known album, which sent me back to the grid to check the corners. Great construction!
                      • whimsy 🤓11:44 · 2022-11-15T16:06:45.791Z
                        Had to google but I just loved the way I knew that if I went back to the grid and checked, I'd be able to narrow down which album. :D Terrific! Thanks Ben!
                        • Carolyn 3s · 2022-11-15T16:37:18.176Z
                          Sounds like I need to check them out! Thanks for the puzzle.
                          • Qmark 4s · 2022-11-15T16:19:04.752Z
                            Nice one, Ben. Knew the band but not the album.
                            • DrTom 3s · 2022-11-15T16:39:14.753Z
                              Whoops, premature detect elation. I, of course (Corrs, Corrs) submitted the band name, was told I was incorrect, said “What!” then read the directions. Nice one with LOTS OF internal references/ Easter eggs. Loved the last step. I do love me some Irish fiddle in a song, it just leaves me breathless (oh and I looked for; panting, gasping, asthmatic or puffing in the grid😊)
                              • KayW 🤓8:06 · 2022-11-15T16:44:54.441Z
                                I did have to google to learn the band. And then couldn't figure out which album was the answer. Lucky for me (and for whoever tallies incorrect submissions) they only have seven of them. AFTER I hit on the answer, I noticed T-A-L-K in the corners. Doh!!! Now to listen to a few tracks...
                                • Tyrpmom 2s · 2022-11-15T21:21:44.524Z
                                  Listening to them now. Thanks.
                                  • Abide 🤓12:06 · 2022-11-16T00:15:18.653Z
                                    several albums later, the shilling dropped...nice one!
                                    • Darth 🤓9:59 · 2022-11-16T01:52:32.991Z
                                      I've never heard of this group, but solved with the help of Google.
                                      • Sharkicicles 2s · 2022-11-16T17:29:56.740Z
                                        Thanks Ben!
                                        • Mikey G 6:14 · 2022-11-16T17:52:47.613Z
                                          Nice one, and I'll have to spin this album later in honor of this meta!

                                            Whoo... did I need the internet for this. "Bands with members Carol, Dan, Jimmi and Sharon? No...."
                                            • benchen71 constructor · 2022-11-17T02:55:03.048Z
                                              Yes, I guess I didn't consider how many names can be derived from those entries! Sorry about that.
                                              • woozy 15:39 · 2022-11-17T17:22:55.264Z
                                                I'm not complaining. It was fair. I'm just surprised how inefficient google was was I had any of the names even a little off.

                                                  Lol my first try was "Jim, Carol, Sharona, and Andre"
                                                • HeadinHome 🤓15:28 · 2022-11-18T00:05:49.592Z
                                                  Def. had to google these names to get a group, but now that I looked them up and gave a listen, of course I have heard their songs! Great puzzle, and getting to the album to choose wasn’t hard!
