Very rarely solved in just three songs these days. Find a common link somewhere in the songs and/or artists. Often, but not always, a word that can be added to a word or words in each to make a new word or phrase.
Here is Gordon's current set.:

Sweet Gene Vincent - Ian Dury
Shallow Be Thy Game - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Danny Boy (Londonderry Air) - Elisabeth Schwarzkopf
Bud Powell - Chick Corea

We have eliminated 'sweet', 'shallow' and 'boy'.

Thanks for bringing this over NC.

Fancy a nibble, Anita?

While Anita is busily nibbling nocheese, I think it might be time for another clue...

Sweet Gene Vincent - Ian Dury
Shallow Be Thy Game - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Danny Boy (Londonderry Air) - Elisabeth Schwarzkopf
Bud Powell - Chick Corea
Sit Down - James

Not a word-link.

Sounds like military ranks to me.

Not that, SiB.

I'm slightly regretting having started this one as it's not a theme I actually know anything about. I'm relying on a single Wikipedia page.

Sweet Gene Vincent - Ian Dury
Shallow Be Thy Game - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Danny Boy (Londonderry Air) - Elisabeth Schwarzkopf
Bud Powell - Chick Corea
Sit Down - James
Tony (Do You Remember) - Tony Curtis

All tribute songs

Spiritinblack wrote: "All tribute songs"

No. I don't think the second, third or fifth ones fit that description.

There is something that all but the second have in common that might get you started on working this one out.

All changed name.

If not me stumped.

Do all but no 2 contain names of characters, eg in a TV series?

nocheese wrote: "Do all but no 2 contain names of characters, eg in a TV series?"

Yes. Not in TV series, though. No 2 also contains the name of a character but it's less obviously a name.

Shallow Hal, maybe?

SussexWelsh wrote: "Shallow Hal, maybe?"

No. In No 2 you're looking for the forename of a character whose surname is Palmer.

Ah, Chili Palmer is it Elmore Leonard characters?

Although, having said that, I can't come up with any others'

Ah! John Travolta characters!

Vincent - Pulp Fiction
Chili - Get Shorty
Danny - Grease
Bud - Urban Cowboy
James - Look Who's Talking
Tony - Saturday Night Fever

Well done, nc.

Thanks Gordon, I enjoyed that one, even though you had to spoonfeed us!

Just realised that finding songs is going to be harder without that handy 'product link' button. Back soon.

Is it sugar?

It's not 'sugar SiB, and if you tell me which words you were linking to sugar, I'll tell you whether any of them do in fact link to the word I'm looking for. Can't say fairer than that.

Brown sugar or even sugar free
Sugar rush
Broken sugar

Thanks, SiB. Normally we frown on multiple guesses (as in your first one), but I'll let you off, and let you know that you have no links. Which is a good thing.

Just getting used to playing this so understand a bit more now.
Of course no links as SW had 1 and used different words d'oh

That's the spirit, SiB. Have another clue:

Set My Baby Free - Ian Brown
Time Stand Still - Rush
Angel with a Broken Wing - Cowboy Mouth
