Ok, another clue is that the single which made the top 10 in the 70s, 80s and 90s has appeared in the soundtrack to several films including a very popular comedy.

Great question, Kirst, and I admit my first thought was Slade.

Leftfield suggestion: T Rex?

No, Dinamo, and no to Clarion. You're all thinking of the wrong type of groups really.

Thanks Kirst.  Excellent question, and a clue that led me almost straight to the answer when I thought about it properly :thumbsup:

Question a bit later when I've had a chance to think of it.

I agree, Peter.  Totally underrated.

For your information, the two solo acts who had hits in every year of the 70s were Elvis Presley and Diana Ross.

Clarion: Dolphin Taylor played on Power in the Darkness. I can't get the other half of the question though.

That was fast.  Needs a bit more, though...

It was Tom Robinson's Band.  Tom Robinson has/had a job presenting on World Service.

Ah.  Good point, but wrong.  You see, you may have misread the question ;)

There are three titles you need to make a cetacean link with:
Now Then,
Power In The Darkness &
World Service


What's the Cetacean link?

 though I will give you that Dolphin Taylor* is the link.

Aw, come on!  Does no one know what other bands Dolphin Taylor was in? :o 

In fact, you don't even need to know - those are quite well known albums by fairly major bands...

We've got the one I thought might be hardest:

Power In The Darkness - Tom Robinson Band

So who recorded albums called:

Now Then?

and

World Service?

Yes!

Two down, one to go.  I bet some people have got this in their vinyl collection.
