benchen71's Metas on a Tuesday (MOAT)

Can you storm the castle by getting across the MOAT? Some people can study with music playing and others can't. Me, I like listening to music while I work on something else; I find it helps me think. (I listened to Dua Lipa's "Future Nostalgia" as I constructed this puzzle - "Love Again" is a bop!) If you're anything like me, then this puzzle's for you. So start listening to your favourite album and if the music doesn't distract you, you should find your way to the meta answer, which is a band.

The easiest way to submit is on Crosshare (and you get instant feedback and unlimited attempts!) But you can also PM me with your submission. Either way, I'll compile a list of those who successfully solve the meta.

Moat's crossed.
I'm not sure I saw the full metanism but I saw enough to solve. Good puzzle - thanks!

It's weird that ChatGPT can do Seinfeld scripts so well (sort of) but when asked for 29A they are just 33A.

Anyway, enough hints to storm the castle although the description scared me.

Moat crossed!
Thanks, Ben!

That was a musical romp over the moat. Thanks, Ben !!

If I work as a musician, would you say I listen to music while I work?

The moat has been crossed. Many thanks for the puzzle and some morning listening.

Crossed and stormed, fun start to the day!

Got it.

MOAT crossed. Ear worm created.

Fun one with an impressive amount of meta content. Thanks Ben!

Moat crossed and castle stormed. I enjoy music-related metas. Fun one.

Moat crossed. Meta made easier by great clues!

Moat danced across, castle rocked, music library raided. Thanks Ben!

Crossed! Stormed!

You can pull up the drawbridge because I have crossed the MOAT, on second thought leave it down because I think you are going to have a full castle! A fun, and Google filled, solve once I stopped trying to make it impossible, thanks Ben!!

Moat crossed!

Made it across but --
There but for google, go I --
So no, not a music listener, but yes, a puzzle doer so thanks, Ben!
(And I learned some geography at 15A.)

Launched over the moat, fortunately I had some padding to protect me.

I second that motion. MOAT crossed. Now if someone could just turn down the music volume a bit...

Moat crossed and castle stormed! Good one, Ben!
