Nightmare trying to find any musical links/references for Croatia

The Fall did a song called Zagreb.

The Fall did a song called Zagreb.

I have several Fall albums including a 6cd Peel Sessions box-set, don't know that song mate. Must be on one of their other many albums I don't own

You need do nothing rab - just a pot luck case of how far your artist (team) goes.

I just added the supplementary ?'s to see if people could guess the link

Crikey, I only knew the Stereophonics and Clash ones before Mr Google helped me 64 !! (Although I suspected that ZZ Top probably would come up trumps for Peru, as I think they've referenced most of Central/South America over the years)

With all 32 choices made the Groups are as follows:

Group A
Matt Monro (BBB)
Black Lips (BBB)

So today's opener saw an, in the end, easy victory for Matt Monroe over the Black Lips - both in BBB's stable so the same winner, as loser.

Tomorrow sees:
