    Song: Bought for protection + "nearly" off + the absence of prevarication
    Artist: French for "fast fashion"

    Vous ne parle francais?

    English artist clue:
    Prefix indicating "down" + letter that is also a vegetable + fifth letter + vitamin present in citrus fruits + letter not heard in "hour" + fifth letter again= First word in group name)
    A special way to consume pie MINUS Islamic name for God (spelling liberty taken) = Second word in group name

    I don't know their stuff. I did a lot of digging to find what might be the right answer. Let's see if anyone else can get this without all the digging. :)

    Okay, stealing RunTimer's idea here and I hope it makes sense and you can read it :#
    (Edit: it's easier to enlarge/see on a desktop site, sorry it's so small on phone screens :( )
    I will accept any one of the three artists and their corresponding song titles.

    Nice!
    Okay, I'm going for (what I think is) the low bearing fruit
    Circle 1: ZZ Top / Eliminator?

    ZZ Top is circle 1 and the song I'm looking for is on the Eliminator album.
    Good start/clues!

    Dutch brothers must be Van Halen. Sharp Dressed Man sort of fits, but I can't tie it to other parts of the clue.

    Van Halen is correct for circle 2.
    The three artists/groups are all male and their respective song titles all contain the same word, but the full song titles are not exactly the same.
    I can provide the album the song was released on, if anyone wants that hint.
    But you're all a smart bunch and the answers aren't obscure :)
    @RunTimer: Eliminator clarification- it's a nickname for the car model, the Eliminator is a ___ ___.

    It helped being a fan of all three. I have nothing at the moment, so if anyone wants to step up please do.

    OOOO, me, me, me! I heard this on the way to work a couple days ago and I haven't forgotten it. So before I do.

    Christmas plants + Sissy Spacek movie + member of Heart = [band/song]

    I need to get a Greatest Hits of this group.
