dodged a bullet choosing Massive Attack instead of Portishead there!

Oops I was a bit torn on the one before and chose wrong! I thought people might remember Madonna at the Brits in 2015.

Back on track with Massive Attack (albeit along with the rest of the series top 6 )

3 out of 4 top answers so far. Just the dancing one, I didn't think of ballet. I went for ballroom dancing as Strictly is happening at the moment. I'm surprised more people didn't pick All Saints for the siblings group, I thought it would be fairly even between them and Oasis.

I very nearly went for Portishead but then thought Massive Attack were probably better known on the whole so changed.

I actually didn't know My Chemical Romance had siblings!

the wonderful Massive Attack putting me back on track 🖤

Millie B

The next one also has some groupings that I had to think about a bit 🤭

Ah technical difficulties does seem more obvious now I can see it as an answer! I just have Madonna's fall etched into my mind.

Oh dear, another blunder after such a strong start :(

this is the one I overthought the most for sure, had about four different options I was considering but swung the completely wrong way, ah well

I realize a tiger is a big cat but I'm glad Dan17F1 and I got a point for it anyway 😅

I was hoping Matto would pick this song to represent the answer, not too many songs about wardrobes:

I originally had 'chicken' on its own lol but then lumped it in with 'bird' as I also lumped in 'goldfish' with just 'fish'

Pfft, I'm still claiming moral victory for naming an actual specific animal like the question implied with cats and dogs rather than an entire animal group -___

OK not too much harm done with so many low scoring answers there.

No idea how the next three could go, potentially quite badly!
