I got:

1 - Cave, but probably not Nick;
2 - The Red Sea, but probably not the Adverts;
3 - Two plasticine men, possibly in France;
4 - Le voyage dans la lune by Georges Méliès;
5 - Cash, but probably not Johnny.

I got sweet f**k all, that's what I got.

What you got?

3. The Tourists?

It was when I found myself looking at the additional tracks on a CD release of a Brotherhood of Man album that I finally had to admit to myself...I have a problem.

yes and yes (not Nick), maybe need to think where the cave could be.

2 - The Red Sea, but probably not the Adverts;

quite close, not The Adverts

3 - Two plasticine men, possibly in France;

The countries are important

4 - Le voyage dans la lune by Georges Méliès;

well spotted but nothing specifically to do with that movie (say what you see)

5 - Cash, but probably not Johnny.

not Johnny

not really, they're all pretty straight allusions to the relevant album title.

I didn't go the easy route this time, no Zep or Hendrix or anything anyones probably heard of...

Axis powers? Roberto (as in Rome-Berlin-Tokyo)?

Is it Gottfried Leibniz?

I'd got that far...but sadly no further.

well, what could the peeps be doing?

maybe i've made it too obscure... I thought somebody would get one or two, google and then see the connection...

clues then:

all albums are by the same band.

US guitar band 80s/90s. No major success though they had a major record deal (not *that* obscure).

think about where the cave could be.

ways of describing the colour of the ocean.

alternate pic for one of the clues (that should give it away):

off to bed now so...

And you are, totally.

Ah, no you're not.

Well done.

Was listening to them yesterday and just felt like getting their name out there again, don't think nearly enough people are aware of them.

[Edit] An anagram of "Making Your Mind Up" is actually "A Dummy Punk Origin", which I'm sure you meant to say...
