Close, they've all been played by one person... (Corden is technically 2 people, 3 if you measure it on how unfunny he is).

The ginger theme is good...

It's Jarvis off of Iron Man but I can't remember his name

Cacofonix

They all have an "I" in their names.  I'd have been lost if "team" had been in the list.

all artists they play on Radio 2 when they have run out of better ideas.
Or
Madonna has covered or sampled their songs.
Or
They are all renowned toilet fetishists.

They've all had films named after one of their songs  except the Manic Street Preachers, who are Welsh.

Kebabkid

I'm going with they've all written songs about America or places there, apart from the Manics who gave us "Australia"

Billy Joel - New York state of mind

Eagles - Hotel California

Don McClean - American Pie/Tulsa time/Deppin the heart of Texas

No… there's a better connection than that - the Manics *are* the odd one out though.
