I'm going to guess The Cardigans - Gran Turismo. Can't link it to any of the clues (!) but the answer about blue and yellow as favourite colours got me thinking about them and they're in @Thackeraye Discogs.

David Beckham Man Utd period looks like Leonardo Di Caprio Romeo+Juliet period (same haircut).

You're saying you didn’t have curtains circa 95-98? I think every teenage boy in England did...

You're saying you didn’t have curtains circa 95-98? I think every teenage boy in England did...

And they were beautiful!

 

[Thackeraye]

And they were beautiful!

Curtains present and correct here! Even had the pony tail for a bit as well...

I have a "We are the Cardigans and You're Not" t shirt I bought from a gig in 96 maybe. This thing is absolutely hacked - holes in it and everything, but I love it. Can't get rid of it.

 

[Thackeraye]

Right, been a bit lax in updating the guess and clue posts, apologies. I'll do that tonight.

 

[ByersVinyl]

Well thats a good decade for me.
FYI - @Thackeraye also was my first secret santa. And this offers me some insight into his musical curation ideas.
Clearly i must be close to a solution !

Doesn't stop me throwing out another guess....... i used this in a previous N&G guess thread, so statistically If i use it again i have a better chance.

Siouxsie and the Banshees - superstition (or The Rapture also 90s)

One of Real Madrid anthem is Nessun Dorma, from Puccini opera Turandot and sung by Pavarotti.

My guess is:

2 classical in a row...

2 classical in a row...

I wouldn't mind.

 

[TrainFan73]

Not even classical music is safe:

Plácido Domingo had 'inappropriate conduct' with many women, opera finds

Investigators commissioned by the LA Opera found 10 women who brought allegations from between 1986 and 2019

Gran Turismo is a great album, and personally I'd be down with any Cardigans album as an AOTM, they're a really underrated band. The only one of the reissues I own so far is First Band on the Moon so it'd be a great excuse to finally start picking up the others.

 

[Thackeraye]

Right, that's the guesses and clue posts updated. I know how some of you are attracted to lists, so this might be of some help.

 

[Thackeraye]

Also, have I missed anyone's guess?

 

[Bsdmr2]

Also, have I missed anyone's guess?

You missed my only legitimate guess of Basement Jaxx!

 

[ByersVinyl]

Here’s a guess
Madonna- I’m breathless (Dick Tracy sdtrk)
90s
Columbo is a detective
David Beckham was in a Guy Ritchie film who was married to Madonna
Marrilion Is a word that looks a little bit like Madonna.

No idea if it’s onVinyl
edit it’s on vinyl, I can pick it up used for about £2 !
Also Marrillion and Madonna oncce featured on the same episode of the BBCs Top of the Pops.
Wrap it up and put a label on it !

 

[Gavaxeman]

I guessed Bob Dylan “infidels”

Which was wrong !

One of the clues from last month also applies to this month.
