Three Songs with a Common Link

Nobody Knows - Simon Le Bon/Nick Wood
Rain or Shine - Five Star
Broad Day Beatdown - Pictures of Death

No links, though, so you've eliminated a few possibilities. (SW had already eliminated 'bon' with his attempt).

Yes I just realised that 'bon' had gone. That's why I deleted my previous post. Here are my incorrect suggestions again to help with the elimination.
Letter 'D'
Dare
Bond
Drain
D-Day


A walk in the black forest – Horst Jankowski
Back to black – Amy Winehouse
True love ways – Buddy Holly/Norman Petty

Till The Rivers All Run Dry - Don Williams
Hell and High Water - Black Stone Cherry
Le Cri du Silence - Tom Bird

Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree - Dawn
King Of The Five Card Stud - Dean Martin
Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) - Cher

King Of The Five Card Stud - Dean Martin
Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) - Cher
My Dreams Are Getting Better All The Time - Doris Day

King Of The Five Card Stud - Dean Martin
Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) - Cher
My Dreams Are Getting Better All The Time - Doris Day
The Cold Hard Facts Of Life - Porter Wagoner


However, tempted as I am to give it to you, I'll trundle on with my original idea for now:-
Artificial Red - Mad Season
Black Eyes – Gallows
Fields Of Gold – Sting
Blue American – Placebo
Pink Up – Spoon
Hint
As Gordon has realised, the answer is not a single word.

Black Eyes – Gallows
Fields Of Gold – Sting
Blue American – Placebo
Pink Up – Spoon
Golden Era – Tulku
Hints
1. not a single word
2. All answers are to be found in the dictionary

Black Eyes – Gallows
Fields Of Gold – Sting
Blue American – Placebo
Pink Up – Spoon
Golden Era – Tulku
Scarlet Inside – Clannad
Hints
1. Not a single word
2. All answers are to be found in the dictionary (no proper names)
3. No knowledge of music or musicians required

Not butterflies!
Artificial Red - Mad Season
Black Eyes – Gallows
Fields Of Gold – Sting
Blue American – Placebo
Pink Up – Spoon
Golden Era – Tulku
Scarlet Inside – Clannad
Cream – HIDE
Hints
1. Each title/artist combination gives rise to a different single word
2. All words are to be found in any decent English dictionary (no proper names)
3. No knowledge of music or musicians required
4. There's a red herring that seems to be working really well

Yes, you could say that :-)
Pink – Aerosmith
Blue Alice – Ayria

Black Eyes – Gallows
Fields Of Gold – Sting
Blue American – Placebo
Pink Up – Spoon
Golden Era – Tulku
Scarlet Inside – Clannad
Pink – Aerosmith
Blue Alice – Ayria
Black Out – Pavement
Cream – HIDE
Clue: Once you get over your initial blindness to what's going on, all will be obvious except perhaps for one. If no-one gets that last one, it will be a capital offence given all the hints I've provided!

All yours SW :-)
