Saturday Snapshots #193

Some discussion last week, about this quiz getting too easy. So easy, in fact, that you were all holding off on discussing the link so as not to give the game away.

This week then, the link is a little different. It's not in the title of the song. Nevertheless, there is something that links one song by each of the artists below... work out the artists and you might get the link.

It does help if you work together...

10. Elton Johny???

9. It's life, Superman, but not as we know it.

8. Divine caramel.

7. Drinking average fortified wine is the norm.

6. A bow tie for Hazlewood.
