Question

This is the last word of a Japanese band who included the tracks “Absolute Ego Dance” and “Rydeen” (15[1])on their album (-5[1])Solid State Survivor. (15[1])A band whose name (15[1])starts with the adjectival form of this word (15[1])tells an object (15[1])“you should have stayed at home yesterday” and is behind the 1980 hit “Enola Gay”. (15[1])A band whose name ends with this word ends each line of the chorus of a song with the (15[1])nonsense word “groos”, usually heard (15[1])as (*) “Bruce”. An English new wave band is titled (10[1])after the adjective form of this word and the words “Manouevres in the Dark”. A band whose (10[1])name ends with this word opened one song with “sun is shinin' in the sky / there ain't a cloud in sight”. For 10 points, Jeff Lynne leads an “Electric Light” one of what musical ensemble? ■END■
