We seem to agree on no.8 (until someone finds something better, I fear).

re no.21:
If you were to adopt a prog-rock focus to your search for the answer, you might see an eponymous 3rd album; this has an excellent 14 minute track on side B with a 4-word title.

JimC, do you have additional information to that given in the first post? To go from that clue (21)to the track you're suggesting seems an enormous leap of faith...

Hi Bullfrog.

True, there may be several reasonable answers for the clue for 21 ("Maybe you can find them") and I won't be surprised or upset if someone points us towards a better answer.

In the meantime, the "focus" answer seems to me to work as it is quite well known amongst fans. And ... I can just imagine the clue-setter sitting there taunting us just a little with his/her original clue.

On the same note and to a greater degree, I bet there are several perfectly reasonable answers to clue no. 14 ("Travelling salesman must think this"). The 'correct' answer is anyone's guess, really.

Well Toni just to clarify, I think clues are still needed for

27 A softest ark
42 Mikes mixed up wife broke her metatarsal

no number of letters and all titles begin with `A`
