Pingu is correct.  Beck did a track named "Blackholes", Hawkwind's "Quark, Strangeness And Charm" mentions a black hole, Muse have the track "Supermassive Black Hole" on the album "Black Holes & Revelations" and All Saints' "Never Ever" contains some drivel about being in a black hole, which is enough to make anybody depressed whether or not they've just split with their boyf.

And then home.

I'm pretty certain there's an early Floyd song called "Green Is The Colour" or something like that. Syd Barrett era but not on Piper At The Gates Of Dawn or Saucerful Of Secrets - I have both of those on the shelf next to me and it ain't listed cos I checked.

New Order would not be my specialist subject on Mastermind, so I can't help there.

New Order; Everything's Gone Green 1981

My answer is Green connects the 4 groups but no idea what the Pink Floyd song is so I'll pinch CS's Green is the Colour

bonus question; on the Floyd 73 Tour live bootleg album what is the otherwise unreleased song?

To be fair, I think Roger should get the point, if only for being first to answer and being mostly correct.

And Pingu should be docked a point for not mentioning The Kinks! (Village Green Preservation Society) Though I suppose there are countless other possibilities that could also have been included.
