I'm guessing it's some sort of military/law enforcement thing, but I can't quite say...

Sting = POLICE
Numan = tubeway ARMY
Bono and Boy George I'm a bit stumped on unless "Culture Club" is some sort of allusion...

Or...

Maybe Gary Numan is his

Aside from the Nationality reference, I would venture to guess that Sting, Numan and Bono were all openly hetero (all with wives, Bono & Sting have children) This according to our many 'reliable' press sources.

My guess is that Boy George (George O'Dowd) is the only given name, whereas the other three are pseudonyms (Sting=Gordon Sumner; Bono=Paul Hewson; Numan=Gary Webb.)

Gary Numan is the only one of the four not involved with the Band-Aid "Do they know it's Christmas" single....

And damn it Dave, if that's not the answer, I know for a fact that Alex Trebek would tell me later on in the show that the judges would accept my response and adjust my score accordingly....

No need to go to the judges - you are correct bpdp3! Someone give that man a cha-root. But good guesses everyone.

Boy George, Sting and Bono not only appeared on the recording, but had prominent lines:
