Let's play a game, Rock and Pop... A band puzzle?

Oh my lovelies, it's been a long time since I've done one of these, long enough that most of you probably wouldn't remember the last one, and I highly doubt there's anybody around who remembers back when I would do one every night.

As such, I will explain the rules. They're quite simple. I will give you a series of words in square brackets. These words/phrases will be synonyms or descriptions of OTHER words. By decoding each box, you'll be able to put together the name of a band. The first to get all 5 bands will be awarded 10 points!

Some boxes will be separated by spaces, these indicate spaces within the band name, the separation of words. If there is no space between the boxes, then the two words combine to form one word. I will give a few examples to make sure the rules are understood.

If, within the box, you see terms separated by a semi-colon ( ; ) that means that there are two separate definitions/synonyms in an attempt to make the clue a bit easier, or to denote what the proper answer would be, if the first clue has too many possible answers.

[Related to air or aircraft ; a bubbly treat][Metalworker] is [Aero][Smith] or Aerosmith

[Definite Article] [Murderers] is [The] [Killers] or The Killers.

Seem simple enough? Fantastic! Let the game begin!

[Members of the LGBT community] [Preposition] [Trascendental state of total awareness of an object ; popular name for 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methamphetamine]

[Definite article] [Collection, commonly auditory or photographic in nature] [Flat plant organ ; Sheet of paper within a book]

[Rapid oxidization of an object during combustion][Hydrogen oxide]

[Charge ; Hurry ; Surge ; Hasten]

[Substance that makes up the surface of the Earth ; Sully ; Suffix with Top-][Labour ; Toil]

Some of these will be considerably harder than others - don't be afraid to use Google to help, it's not cheating, although please try without it first - you'd be amazed at what you can reason out if you try hard enough.
